Sunday, April 10th, 2 pm – Save the Date!
Treasures of the Jewish Art Music: The St.
Petersburg School and Beyond
Save the date for our Yom HaShoah Commemoration with the RVCC Music Department. This will be presented as a hybrid event both on stage and online. Join us in the discovery of “Jewish art music,” a movement that originated at the end of the nineteenth century in Russia and flourished through the twentieth. The highlight of this movement was the founding of the Society for Jewish Folk Music in 1908 by a group of students and graduates of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Our recital will feature rarely performed works by composers of the early 20th century, most notably Joseph Achron, Alexander Krein, and Solomon Rosowsky. These composers established a unique genre that blended traditional Jewish folk and liturgical music with Western European and Russian Romantic styles.
More details to register will be available soon.
Tuesday, April 19th, 10 am 11 am, Online
Yom HaShoah Commemoration and Remembrance with Maud
Dahme
This program is taking place online on the actual date of liberation for Maud Dahme, a Holocaust Survivor from The Netherlands. We will hear testimony from Maud and see a virtual tour of the Montreal Holocaust Museum exhibit. This exhibit from Canada is essential to Maud’s story of liberation as the Canadian troops went into the Netherlands to liberate this country. We will hear Maud’s remembrances of her liberation and joy upon seeing the Canadian troops on this significant day.
