The Lost Music of Auschwitz is the culmination of an incredible eight-year mission to piece together the forgotten fragments of music left behind in the concentration camp, undertaken by British composer and Conductor Leo Geyer. Geyer spent years searching through the archives of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, unearthing incredible music written in the direst of circumstances – a testimony to the resilience of the inmates. He then carefully reconstructed the fragments of music into scores that could be read and performed today.

Author of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, polymath Douglas Adams was a pioneer of science fiction, comedy, technology and environmental activism.

Campaigning for endangered species and the coming storm of climate change, he was years ahead of his time. Optimistic about the infinite possibilities that computers will bring, obsessing with the art of writing, while exploring parallel dimensions and artificial intelligence, his philosophy and ideas are meaningful, and visionary.
