DETROIT FREE PRESS Bloomfield Plaza • 6638 Telegraph & Maple • Bloomfield 248.851.0313 Philip Markowicz: "I like that "Tikvah" is upbeat and really about hope. instrumentalists asked him to compose for their group, and he decided to use the Markowicz memoirs, My Three Lives, as his base once he learned about them from a mutual friend. The memoirs, not published for the general public, tell how Markowicz was forced into the Lodz Ghetto and Auschwitz. They explain how he came to separate the segments of his exis- tence — the time before World War II, the time during the Holocaust and the time after the fighting. out to be more than I imagined," says Polacek, who teaches at the Merit School of Music in addition to tour- ing. "The music that -Burton wrote has a jazz influence and is very powerful. My group is on stage the entire time." Haraszti, who has appeared in pro- grams with her husband, dances in various portions of Tikvah. "Burton's music is very rhythmical," she says. "This work is very emotional, and I've had to create various fantasies related to the memoirs to prepare the choreography and then dance." Rae will experience a strong contrast as she vocalizes in Tikvah. Communicating the life story of her grandfather is very different from appearing in Hair, the musical in which she currently is cast for a Connecticut run. Vocalist Andrea Rae will sing the lyrics based on her grandfather's memoirs. Emotional Work The new writer decided to reveal his experiences at the urging of family members so that they would under- stand their heritage. He also wanted to combat what Holocaust deniers were claiming. "Usually the Holocaust is remem- bered through books and speeches, so this concert is very exciting," says Markowicz, 81, who owned an appli; ance store. "I like that Tikvah is upbeat and really about hope. "I wanted to stress that my strength came from reading the Torah and the Talmud and listening to my father teach that good always will win over evil. The Nazis could imprison my body, but they couldn't imprison my mind." Bryan Polacek, who performs on the baritone sax for the Atlas Quartet, was looking through a book on the Holocaust when he came up with the idea for a musical performance. He saw a picture of an orchestra at a con- centration camp and wanted to do a piece with saxophones because the Nazis had banned them. "We've been working on this pro- gram for three years, and it has turned "I think of Tikvah as a theatrical oratorio," says Rae, also a cantorial soloist. "I originally saw my grandfa- ther's memoirs after he completed his first draft, but I knew his general story before then. My grandfather is an important figure in my life, and I'm honored to be part of the piece that honors him. By doing this, I get to share him with the rest of the world, and that's very special. "I hope that the audience can take away the sense of how important it is to go on living no matter what. With any survivor, the idea is to figure out how beautiful life can be." Li Tikvah: A Concert of Hope and Remembrance will be performed at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, at the Holocaust Memorial Center, 28123 Orchard Lake Road, in Farmington Hills. $20/$15 students, with reserva, tions preferred. The museum will open at 5:30 p.m. for tours before the presentation. (248) 553-2400.
