The tragic fates of two leading personalities of the Austrian and European music and art scene – Alma (1906-1944) and her father Arnold Rosé (1863-1946) – are highlighted in the exhibition ‘Only the violins have remained – Alma and Arnold Rosé’. The exhibition, conceived by the House of Austrian History, will be presented in Cylinder Space / ‘Un concept Luna’ in Suceava (Aleea Dumbrăvii 10). Alma and Arnold Rosé had a little-known relationship with Romania: Arnold Rosé was born in Iaşi in 1863 before his family moved to Vienna; moreover, the Rosé Quartet frequently performed with the great Romanian composer and pianist George Enescu in the 1920s. The musical careers of father and daughter Rosé came to an abrupt end in 1938 with the annexation of Austria to the National Socialist Reich. Defying fate, Alma Rosé founded a women’s orchestra in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. This enabled some of the Jewish musicians to survive, but Alma died in the camp in 1944.
