Olivier Greif, born in Paris in 1950 to Polish-Jewish parents, was a composer whose life and work were deeply influenced by his heritage and personal journey. Greif's father, a survivor of Auschwitz, inspired his son to create powerful Holocaust-themed compositions, such as "Todesfuge" and "Lettres de Westerbork," a song cycle based on the letters of Etty Hillesum. Greif's musical prowess was evident from a young age, leading him to study at the prestigious Paris Conservatoire under notable teachers like Lucette Descaves, Jean Hubeau, and Tony Aubin. His compositions, rooted in the avant-garde genre, reflect his unique perspective and emotional depth. From 1976 onwards, Greif followed the spiritual teachings of Sri Chinmoy, further enriching his artistic expression. Greif's legacy includes impactful works like "Requiem," "Danse des morts," and "Les Chants de l'âme," which continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. His life and music stand as a testament to the enduring power of art in the face of adversity.
