- Jazz is a form of resistance
- "At that time, in those days ...”, says the man on the stage. But what sounds like the beginning of a fairy tale is in fact the story of his uncle, Paul Weissenburger; the story of a man who gets caught unaware at Budapest in the cruel maze of Nazi bureaucracy while dreaming constantly of sailing across the big pond in a white steamer to do jazz, nothing but Jazz.
- Set during World War II, The Jazz Conductor is the moving story of a young man, imprisoned in a concentration camp, his only crime being his love for Jazz music. This musical play makes an epic of the events, lending them even beauty through the language and the musicality.".
