Composer, journalist, producer for radio and television and film maker,\u00a0Serge Kaufmann<\/a>\u00a0composed numerous scores for radio, television, as well as cinema and the stage. His works stand out for their very personal freedom of expression and their constant lyricism.<\/p>\n

Born in 1930, Serge Kaufmann studied classical music at Coll\u00e8ge Calvin in Geneva, and then at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, under the direction of Daniel Lesur. In the post-war years, the sight of a photograph \u2013 the boy in the Warsaw Ghetto \u2013 pivoted his convictions a passionate, internal questioning whose voice became ever more insistent: \u201cWhat would have happened to me if, instead of being born in Switzerland, I had been born on the other side of the border? Would I not have shared the fate of these thousands of Jewish children who didn\u2019t have the chance to grow up simply because they were born of Jewish parents or grand-parents !\u201d<\/p>\n

Inspired by this revelation, Serge Kaufmann has enriched for nearly 25 years the field of Jewish music by composing works with evocative names : Yiddish Suite, Little Klezmer Suite, The Rothenbourg Maharam, Neshama, Kol nidr\u00e9, Yesod\u2026 Although never built on purely traditional melodies, his compositions have a sound that is undeniably Jewish.<\/p>\n

His vocal, orchestral and chamber music works have been the subject of several recordings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
