Lost for years, the music of The Tiger Who Came to Tea author's mother is heard again - AOL

Lost for years, the music of Julia Kerr—the mother of Judith Kerr, author of The Tiger Who Came to Tea—has reemerged, renewing attention to Chronoplan. The late-1920s score was carried to safety when Kerr fled Nazi Germany in 1933, and its planned premiere was halted by the era’s upheavals. Descendants from London gathered at Einstein’s Caputh estate to celebrate Kerr’s life as performers Ruth Rosenfeld and Norbert Biermann presented recovered works and reconstructed scores. The Caputh gathering recalled Kerr’s links to Einstein’s circle, which included the composers and writers who shaped her era and whose conversations once filled the lakeside house.
