Faculty Spotlight: Robert Davidovici

In Paris last week, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESO) commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a ceremony to pay tribute to the victims of Nazi persecution.

The ceremony, hosted in partnership with the Shoah Memorial, included a performance of Jorge Grundman's Shoah, for Solo Violin and Sacred Temple, interpreted and played by our FIU Artist-in-Residence Robert Davidovici.

Romanian-American Davidovici was the son of survivors of the extermination camps. He began his studies with the legendary David Oistrackh and later with Ivan Galamian at The Juilliard School.

According to Grundman, "The purpose of 'Shoah' is to capture in the collective memory the shame and horrors of the Jewish Holocaust. It is a Partita for violin consisting of seven musical movements. Each of them is dedicated to one of the concentration camps and ghettos of the Second World War. The idea arose from the need to write music to honor, among others, the children who made more than four thousand five hundred drawings made between 1942 and 1944 in the concentration camps to escape the terror that surrounded them."
