Based in Seattle, Music of Remembrance is a chamber music organization with a unique mission: to preserve the musical legacy of Holocaust musicians. Even today, not many people know about the music created by artists imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps. In helping their music receive the hearing its creators must have dreamed of, we also demonstrate the power of the human spirit to resist oppression--in even the most dire circumstances. By commissioning new works by living composers (Heggie, Laitman, Olivero, Pasatieri, Schoenfield, Schwarz, Stock), MOR remembers anew the world's loss in the Holocaust, and the voices of those the Nazis strove to silence forever. More about Music of Remembrance
Join us at the Seattle Art Museum and Wallingford's Good Shepherd Center for four free Sparks of Glory concerts. These Saturday concerts-with-commentary offer performances by some of the region's leading Chamber Music musicians, with Mina Miller -- an international speaker on musicians' spiritual resistance to the Holocaust and concert pianist -- discussing Holocaust history, the composers and musicians, and their music.

Support MOR's VEDEM Project! Learn the inspiring story of the boys of Terezín and how MOR is telling their tale with our ambitious new VEDEM Project. Through words, music and film, we are adding a compelling new dimension to the world’s understanding of the Terezín concentration camp and its unique legacy. May 10, 2010 Concert
Our May 10, 2010, concert commemorates young lives cut tragically short. We’ll feature MOR’s newest commission – award-winning composer Lori Laitman’s oratorio VEDEM based on the astonishing poems written by boy prisoners at Terezín for a clandestine journal. Make plans for this world premiere, with Northwest vocalists Ross Hauck and Angela Niederloh—and the amazingly talented Northwest Boychoir. You’ll also hear pre-war works by Zikmund Schul, Egon Ledeč and Pavel Haas – hauntingly beautiful compositions that hardly foreshadow the fates of their doomed composers.
See you at Benaroya Hall!
