Susquehanna Symphony Orchestra: Overcoming Adversity Through Music: A Holocaust Memorial Concert
The concert will begin with film music: selections from Sea Hawk by Erich Korngold, conducted by Brian Folus. Baltimore violinist Yonatan Grinberg will perform two short works for violin solo and orchestra: German Jewish Holocaust victim Robert Dauber’s ‘Serenade’ and John Williams’ popular and moving theme from ‘Schindler’s List’. Mendelssohn’s music to Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ was especially loved in Germany in the late 19th and 20th centuries but banned in Nazi Germany. Finally, the moving Cello Concerto by Polish-Jew Mieczyslaw Weinberg is a moving document and at times incorporates Jewish folk, Klezmer-like sounds and will be performed by Lawrence Stomberg. Admission $20 online (discounts for seniors and students); $25 at the box office (discounts for seniors and students). Visit www.ssorchestra.org.
