Music Of Rememberance performed at the recital hall of Benaroya, in commenmeration of the
liberation of Auschwitz or the

6 million Jews, 300k disabled, 200k Romas, many thousand of
gay men.
At the writing of this blog, I found that Germany criminalized homosexuality until the 80s.
Also, no mention of 5-6 million
Soviet POWs + civilians were systematically killed during WWII.
- Humoresque, Op. 101, no 7, Anton Dvorak
Mikhail Shmidt on violin (my favorite in Seattle Symphony), Christina Valdes on piano
- Anthem of the Republic of Shkid, Karel Hasler
The NW Boychoir
- Vedem, music by Lori Laitman, libretto by David Mason, commissioned by MOR
Vedem is a secret magazine in the Terezin camp of teenage boys
Martin Bakari as tenor, Vanessa Isiguen as soprano, The NW Boychoir.
I very much enjoyed the first 2 short pieces, and liked the speaker.
The new work Vedem is just okay, both the lyrics and the music.
The message is loud and clear: remember us, we are just like you.
Very important. We shouldn't forget the atrocity we commited and are able to commit.
