Founded in 1998, Music of Remembrance (MOR) fills a unique cultural role in Seattle and throughout the world by remembering the Holocaust through music with concert performances, educational programs, recordings and commissions of new works.
- Mainstage concerts and innovative programs at Seattle's Benaroya Hall featuring leading musicians and world acclaimed guest artists
- "Sparks of Glory," a series of free concerts-with-commentary at the Seattle Art Museum and other community settings
- Educational outreach, live performances and multi-media presentations to schools and colleges
- Six CD recordings produced for Naxos, the world's leading classical music label
- The Boys of Terezin, MOR's 2011 documentary film, continues to be screened by film festivals around the globe
MOR also commissions and premieres new Holocaust-inspired works by today's leading composers, building bridges across generations and sharing stories that underline the Holocaust's urgent moral relevance for us now.
This concert is dedicated to the memory of Emmy and Ludwig Altman, and is sponsored in part by the Ludwig Altman Fund of Temple Emanu-El.
