The Rudolfinum concert hall witnessed a rare event this weekend – a group of Romani musicians paired with a Czech choir. The Frankfurt-based Roma and Sinti Philharmonic Orchestra was in Prague to perform Requiem for Auschwitz, by Swiss-born Roma composer Roger Moreno. He told me the piece was dedicated to all who passed through the gates of Auschwitz.
