Britten Weekend: Traces of the White Rose

The vibrant and thoughtful SANSARA choir tells the powerful story of five students and a professor who stood up to Nazism and paid with their lives.
Munich, 1942: war rages across Europe and Hitler reigns with terror. Opposition to the regime risks imprisonment, deportation and even death. To resist would take incredible courage: there were some willing to take that risk.


SANSARA presents a sequence of words and music telling the story of the White Rose resistance. Powerful choral music by British and German composers is interspersed with readings from the letters, diaries and pamphlets of the White Rose in vivid new translations by students from the University of Oxford’s White Rose Project.
