  1. "Make Me Smile" is a song written by #JamesPankow for the rock band #Chicago with the band's guitarist, #TerryKath, on #leadVocals. Part 1 of Pankow's 7-part "#BalletForAGirlInBuchannon" #songCycle/suite, it was recorded for their second album, Chicago (often called Chicago II), which was released in 1970. The song "Now More Than Ever", a separate track from the same song suite, serves as a #reprise of the song.

  6. “The political climate throughout Western society in 2025 makes us feel the cold of the past as we face the reality that the most admired democracy is sliding into fascism. We are witnessing in real time similar events to those that occurred in Germany 90 years ago.”

    From a “Letters to Fred” review.

  11. From a “Letters to Fred” review:

    “We are witnessing in real time similar events to those that occurred in Germany 90 years ago. This work, like all other stories from the Holocaust, should serve as a stark warning to all of us that the horrors will never be a thing of the past unless we keep fighting to keep them there.”

    Thrilled to have another article about „Letters to Fred“ – #NeverAgainIsNow!

    ”At the center of the commissioned work is Fred Herzberg, who was rescued by a Kindertransport to England in 1939, while his parents and sister were murdered in Auschwitz.“

    Thank you so much, Sven Koch and Lippische Landes-Zeitung!

  14. LETTERS TO FRED

    „Zwei Liedprogramme an einem Tag spannten einen Bogen von Lebenslust, Poesie und gerechtem Zorn am Vormittag zu trauerndem Andenken am Abend. Zwei Freundinnen erlebten dies gemeinsam, Megan Marie Hart auf den Bühnen, Joanne Herzberg im Publikum.“

    ❤️ Vielen Dank, lieber Detlef Obens & @opernmagazin!

  15. LETTERS TO FRED: A Portrait of the Herzberg Family During the Holocaust
    Song Cycle by Bracha Bdil

    The terrible brutality of the Holocaust is so incomprehensible in its extent that it can only be understood on the basis of individual fates. This song cycle quotes from letters to the only survivor of the #Herzberg family from #Detmold.

  16. I’m back in Detmold with my friend Jo Herzberg! Jo came to Darmstadt for the world premiere of Bracha Bdil’s song cycle Letters to Fred last Sunday, and we had the chance to spend the last days together — but it’s never enough, so my mom & I joined her on her trip back! We are having a great time together, and it just feels right to keep celebrating this very emotional work after it premiered!

  17. We are currently in the middle of rehearsals with composer Bracha Bdil. I just wanted to quickly share this picture my husband took of Giacomo and I in my dressing room yesterday after our Letters to Fred rehearsal on the big stage.
