The Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). The program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century by interweaving video and audio testimony from Carolyn’s godmother and father (both labeled Mischling), music of composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity in the decades before the war, and works reacting to questions of identity after the war. Through the telling of her family story, Ms. Enger’s live documentary, The Mischlinge Exposé, directly addresses universally significant issues of identity and inclusion, encouraging empathy, and engagement.
Internationally celebrated American pianist Carolyn Enger has gained critical acclaim for her exquisite lyrical playing as well as her deeply felt interpretations. Ms. Enger has enjoyed remarkable success as a recording artist. The New York Times selected her Naxos recording of intimate Ned Rorem miniatures, Piano Album I & Six Friends, as one of the newspaper’s “Best In Classical Recordings,” writing, “Among the 90th–birthday tributes this year to the essential American composer Ned Rorem, this recording especially stands out.”
