Looking forward to singing as part of Harmonium, along with the NJ Youth Chorus with the NJ Youth Symphony, under the direction of Helen Cha-Pyo at NJPAC this Sunday afternoon, January 12, as part of the Violins of Hope concert. It’s been an amazing experience to rehearse Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms” with Dr. Anne Matlack and Dr. Cha-Pyo. I have always wanted to sing this piece, and now it’s happening.
This special concert showcases the extraordinary Violins of Hope, precious stringed instruments that survived the Holocaust. These instruments, some of which were played by prisoners of ghettos and death camps, have been meticulously restored by Israeli luthiers Amnon and Avshi Weinstein. Today, they serve as symbols of survival and perseverance, bringing hope to audiences worldwide. Join us for an unforgettable weekend of remembrance, reflection, and renewal at A Concert for Peace with Violins of Hope as we commemorate the resilience of the human spirit and honor the legacy of those who perished in the Holocaust.
