EMES Symphony is a work written by Maria Luisa Macellaro La Franca in tribute to victims of the Holocaust. And to speak about the problem of racism today it is open to all public for his message full of universal values. During 1942, the Nazis decided to exterminate all the Jews of Europe. Over six million of them, men, women and children, perished. This "Catastrophe" (Shoah in Hebrew), is she served as a lesson? Since then, many other crimes against humanity were committed.

EMES means TRUTH. This is one of hope and peace song, a song of all peoples united so that the world does not close its eyes to the new forms of racism and discrimination committed in the world today.

The "Symphony EMES" is a work in seven movements for soloists, chorus and orchestra, written in Yiddish and classic style. It is accompanied by a staging of texts by Marguerite Duras, except the texts of the Choir , performed and directed by Maria Luisa Macellaro la Franca.

The texts of EMES are in French, Latin and Yiddish. They were written by Maria-Luisa Macellaro La Franca, except the first (Primo Levi), the fourth (text of the Agnus Dei), and the last text (folk song).
