Dear listers (with apologies for cross-posting)

If you are interested in receiving the e-Newsletter of the International
Forum for Suppressed Music (the first issue of which is about to be sent
out), giving information of concerts, broadcasts, conferences, publications
and other matters to do with music suppressed by the Third Reich, please
read on.

The IFSM was established in 1999 by the Jewish Music Institute, SOAS,
University of London, to deal, in the first instance, with music banned
in the Nazi era (the ambit will later be extended to music under other
totalitarian regimes).  The President is Sir Simon Rattle and the Executive
Committee includes Michael Haas, Executive Producer for the Decca series
'Entartete Musik', Erik Levi, author of 'Music in the Third Reich' and
Martin Anderson, journalist, writer and publisher.  In the year 2000,
the IFSM, together with the Department of Music at SOAS, held a highly
influential international conference, focusing on the students of Franz
Schreker in Berlin from 1920 to 1933 with speakers invited from the UK,
Europe and America.

The IFSM extends an invitation to you to join in two ways:  if you would
like to receive the quarterly newsletter, or if you would like to join
a more interactive mailing list where you will also have the opportunity
of asking questions, contributing to the general knowledge and informing
IFSM of activities that you are promoting or know about, then please
email [log in to unmask] and put 'subscribe to newsletter' or 'subscribe to
interactive list' in the subject line or in the body of the email, and tell
us something about yourself.  Equally, if you know someone else who might
like to receive this, please feel free to forward this to them or introduce
us to them.  The forthcoming newsletter gives information on:
