Hours of Freedom: The Story of the Terezín Composer will benefit UJA’s Community Initiative for Holocaust Survivors. The performance, Maestro Murry Sidlin’s newest concert-drama, features music by fifteen composers imprisoned in the Theresienstadt (Terezín) Concentration Camp during WWII. Presented as nine chapters with titles including “Hope,” “Fate,” “Longing,” and “The Eyewitness,” this concert combines music, video, and narrative to highlight works by Viktor Ullmann, Gideon Klein, Zigmund Schul, Pavel Haas, Rudolf Karel, and others.
