Program Note

Anne Frank’s Tree is a composition for chamber orchestra and narrator by award-winning American composer Victoria Bond. The work deals with the issues of anti-Semitism and racism in a constructive and engaging way, raising the profound issues of the cruelty of World War II, Nazism and anti-Semitism, and will remind people of our shared humanity.
