Holocaust Remembrance Day event on April 15 to honor resilience through 鈥淭he Music of Terez铆n鈥�
911爆料网, in collaboration with Temple Beth Abraham, will welcome composer, writer, and pianist Michael Schachter to explore his forthcoming music and theater projects inspired by the history of the Terez铆n Ghetto, a World War II concentration camp outside Prague where Jewish inmates resisted the Nazis through music, drama, and art.
The event will take place on Wednesday, April 15, at 7 p.m. in the Dion Center, located at 16 Clement Street in Nashua.
Schachter will highlight the musical contributions of Eric Vogel, a trumpeter and founder of the Ghetto Swingers jazz band, and Rafael Sch盲chter, a pianist and conductor who led inmates in performances of monumental works, including Verdi鈥檚 Requiem.
Following a question-and-answer session, a candle lighting ceremony will be held in remembrance of Holocaust victims. The Nashua Community Interfaith Choir will perform during the observance.
The event is free and open to the public.
