Festival of Remembrance--Music at the Edge of Life: In Remembrance of Jewish Composers Who Perished in the Holocaust
Santa Rosa Symphony
Concert Three: Music at the Edge of Life: In Remembrance of Jewish Composers Who Perished in the Holocaust.
Presented to coincide with Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah)
The concert will be introduced by Rabbi George Gittleman of Congregation Shomrei Torah in Santa Rosa
The featured compositions, written in concentration camps by Pavel Haas, Erwin Schulhoff, Hans Krasa and Viktor Ullmann, show that the spirit of these artists could not be broken, even under the most dreadful conditions. They maintained their human dignity in spite of all. Music was their weapon of resistance.
Jubilee Klezmer Ensemble will perform as part of the concert program and in the lobby afterward. Also in the lobby and gallery will be exhibits on tolerance and prejudice by Sonoma Country Day School Students, and video interviews with local Holocaust survivors done by Healdsburg Junior High School students.
