Veteran Connnections Event Highlights

On February 21, Employer Connections, Career and Professional Development, the Right Foot Forward, Volunteer Networks, and the DU Student Veterans Association collaborated for the first-of-its-kind Veterans Career Networking event. Twenty-six student veterans, veteran alums, and nine veteran-supporting employers gathered in Burwell 340. In a speed dating-style event, employers rotated from table to table to speak with student veterans about their experiences and provide job-seeking tips. The evening was filled with engagement and enthusiasm from all who attended.

The Veterans Career Networking event, which took place from 4:30 to 6:00 PM, was a huge success. Special thanks to Stacey Stevens and the Employer Connections Team, Patty Hickman and Megan Chambers in Career and Professional Development, Mackenzie Hunter in Volunteer Networks, and Student Veteran Association leadership Sean Brennick and Caleb Smith!

Lamont Symphony Orchestra & Choirs present Defiant Requiem

Wednesday, March 5
7:30pm - 9:30pm
Private Location (sign in to display)

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.

Defiant Requiem is not just a performance of the Verdi Requiem, but a tribute to the inspired leadership of Rafael Schächter who was forced to reconstitute the choir three times as members were transported to Auschwitz. The performances came to symbolize resistance and defiance and demonstrated the prisoners’ courage to confront the worst of mankind with the best of mankind. Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín is powerful, dramatic and inspirational.

$5 for reserved parterre seats, or FREE general admission ($3 fee to purchase tickets online).
