Songs of Survival: Music of the Holocaust

We honor those who pursue creativity and retain hope in the midst of despair. We remember those who were lost and those who survived. The program: rarely-heard music composed before deportation, songs performed in the Nazi concentration camps, music written by survivors, and new works which celebrate light in times of darkness.

Dr. Nick Strimple, internationally recognized scholar of music of the Holocaust, will collaborate. Dr. Strimple has presented Holocaust music programs across the USA and Europe, and. lectured on the subject at Yale University, Oxford University, Wellesley College, and other distinguished institutions. We are honored to have his participation in our program.

Join us for a concert that will touch your heart and soul, with works from composers William Hilsley, Gideon Klein, Maia Aprahamian, Felix Mendelssohn, and others. Featuring the winning works of our 4th annual New Voices Competition for composers under age 30.
