“Chordae Spei” (“Strings Of Hope”) (2023) for voice and string quartet (OP.115)

The piece is a kind of a ballad composed on the text by a Russian-Israeli poet Igor Khentov, telling the story of musicians who perished in the Holocaust  through the story of their respective musical instruments. The text is partially sung and partially recited by the soloist as a narration, thus creating a more dramatic way to  convey the tragic account.
