“It’s difficult to put my memories of this event into into words...working in a space with such a terribile history weighed on my conscience and my heart...what I try to take from this experience is that our project transformed a space of fear and suffering into one music and light. For a bit less than three quarters of an hour the hall with filled with the rich tones of Franz Liszt while the volume of the space, the very walls of the room, continually transformed in a mysterious ballet of light.”
