The holocaust and music: Claudia Stevens at Centenary College Tuesday, Feb. 22

Innovative performer Dr. Claudia Stevens will present her original musical drama, An Evening with Madame F., at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at Centenary College. The performance will be held in Anderson Auditorium, Hurley Music Building, Woodlawn Avenue.


Sponsored by the Department of Art and Visual Culture and the Convocations Subcommittee at Centenary, admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students, payable at the door.


Stevens assumes the role of an elderly prisoner and musician at Auschwitz. By blending historical inmate songs and first-hand accounts, Stevens showcases her giftedness in singing, piano playing and acting to portray the struggle of inmates who survived the concentration camp by way of their artistic expressions.

My wife's family was butchered in euroland, I really don't know how this subject can be done in music.
