Music of Remembrance Presents "Passage: Confronting Intolerance"
This event is in the past

$55
"Never forget" was the refrain the world adopted in response to the horrors of the Holocaust. Music of Remembrance takes that charge seriously, using symphonic music's ability to transcend time and create emotional connections between an audience and those touched by the Shoah and other tragedies. This autumn, they mark their 22nd season with Seattle premieres of Passage, a new work by iconic Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Veritas, a piece blending the music of Japanese American composer Shinji Eshima and the visuals of sculptor Al Farrow, as well as a performance of Paul Schoenfield’s dramatic Camp Songs, an MOR commission and 2002 Pulitzer Finalist.
