The South Florida Chamber Ensemble presents our 11th season: Encounters with Strangers. Each program tells the story of a stranger who changes someone else’s life.  Each program contains a story interspersed with music and historical information about the composers and pieces.

Only the Butterflies are Free tells the story of the Holocaust through live survivor stories with music written or performed in the camps, including Brundibar, Moor Soldaten, Buchenwald, works by Mahler, Bosmans and Wallfisch, whose grandmother was a musician at Auschwitz, Plegaria, the tango of death, and a new piece by Charles Mason.
