YOM HASHOAH CANDLE-LIGHTING AND CONCERT
April 7, 2013, 2:00 PM at Temple Israel of Boston. Free to the public.
Thank you to all who created and attended our Yom HaShoah commemoration uniting voices from the Holocaust with young voices of today: all of the survivors and their families, Cantors Roy Einhorn and Rosalie Toubes and their children's choirs, filmmaker Rachael Cerrotti, survivor Anna Ornstein and her granddaughter Adina, and cellist Sato Knudsen and violinist Si-Jing Huang, both of the Boston Symphony Ochestra. Our program was presented by the Terezín Music Foundation, Temple Israel of Boston, and Brookline’s Temple Sinai.
The program opened with a candle-lighting led by Temple Israel Cantor Roy Einhorn and Temple Sinai Cantor Rosalie Toubes accompanied by Boston-area Holocaust survivors and their families. The concert included performance of two works by Gideon Klein, a young composer who perished in the camps, his Duo for Violin and Cello, and his String Trio. Children's choirs performed the song whose text is the famous Terezin poem “I Never Saw Another Butterfly.” Also on the program was a short video about remembrance, created for the occasion by Rachael Cerrotti with children of Temple Sinai Religious School.

As members of the Hawthorne String Quartet, these artists have worked around the world to perform and record music by artists lost in the Holocaust, as well as the new music TMF has commissioned to honor the legacy of the lost composers.
