The program will include a welcome and candle lighting by Rabbi Belle Michael and will include a musical video courtesy of Mina Miller and David Sabritt and their foundation, Music of Remembrance.
Mina and David are members of our community who split their time between Santa Barbara and Seattle. Music of Remembrance was established in 1998 to remember the Holocaust and honor its lessons with concert performances, recordings, and educational programs. In addition to discovering and performing music from that period, they look beyond the Holocaust itself to address the experience of others who have been excluded or persecuted for their faith, ethnicity, gender or sexuality. Their commissioning program is unique in the world, bringing over 30 new works into the world. These varied commissions include chamber works, choral music, song cycles, musical dramas, fully-staged operas, film scores, and choreography.
We will be hosting some of our local survivors in the building, and we invite the rest of the community to join us by Zoom.
