The Spirituals Project featuring Cyrus Chestnut

Thursday, Feb. 27 (7:30 PM - 9:30 PM) | Newman Center for the Performing Arts, Gates Concert Hall
Exodus: One Story, Two Communities Guest Artist: Cyrus Chestnut Collaboration with the Center for Judaic Studies The story of the Exodus is a significant one for people of the Jewish faith. The Exodus event is arguably the most monumental in human history. When Jews observe Passover, it commemorates the Exodus from Egypt. It is a pivotal moment in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) where the God who is One liberates an enslaved Hebrew people from the oppression of the Egyptians. Rabbi Irving Greenbaum writes, “Exodus morality meant giving justice to the weak and the poor.” It should come as no surprise, therefore, that enslaved Africans in the United States, upon hearing this narrative, immediately felt a resonance. For them, a God who freed slaves so long ago would surely also free them. For the enslaved African community, Harriet Tubman, conductor of the Underground Railroad, would become for them, Moses. The music of this concert will celebrate Jewish and African American faith and freedom, and the importance of the Exodus narrative for both. More info

Lamont Symphony Orchestra & Choirs present Defiant Requiem

Wednesday, March 5 (7:30 PM - 9:30 PM) | Newman Center for the Performing Arts, Gates Concert Hall
Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín The signature concert of The Defiant Requiem Foundation, Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín, tells the story of the courageous Jewish prisoners in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp (Terezín) during World War II who performed Verdi’s Requiem while experiencing the depths of human degradation. With only a single smuggled score, they performed the celebrated oratorio sixteen times, including one performance before senior SS officials from Berlin and an International Red Cross delegation. Conductor Rafael Schächter told the choir, “We will sing to the Nazis what we cannot say to them.” Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín is a concert-drama that was conceived and created by Foundation President, Maestro Murry Sidlin. It combines the magnificent music of Verdi with video testimony from survivors of the original Terezín chorus and footage from the 1944 Nazi propaganda film about Theresienstadt. The performance also includes actors who speak the words of imprisoned conductor Rafael Schächter and others. More Info
