Chaya Czernowin

Chaya Czernowin’s works for chamber and orchestral ensembles, which often include electronic elements, have been performed at the most important contemporary music festivals in Europe, Asia and North America. After playing with fragmentation and instrumental identities in her chamber music works of the 1990s, such as Afatsim (1996) and the String Quartet of 1995, it was a music theatre work that helped her achieve an international breakthrough: Pnima… ins Innere was created in 2000 for the Munich Biennale and was awarded the Bavarian Theatre Prize. In the piece, based on a story by David Grossmann, the composer deals with the archaeology of memory and thus indirectly with her own biography as the daughter of two Holocaust survivors.
