Sparks of Glory: 2010-11 Season

Thanks to our donors, the NEA, and Chamber Music America, MOR's musical witness outreach series, Sparks of Glory, has been presented free to the public since our 2005-06 season.

These concerts-with-commentary offer performances of the musical legacy of the Holocaust, and new works in response to the Holocaust by contemporary composers, by some of the area's leading chamber musicians. MOR Artistic Director Mina Miller--an international speaker on musicians' spiritual resistance during the Holocaust and a concert pianist--discusses Holocaust history, the composers and musicians, and their music. 

• MOR is consistently, staggeringly so, one of the great sounds in the Northwest. 
• I am so grateful for the free concerts. They are of outstanding quality and significance.
• Mina’s comments made a great concert even better, illuminating each piece with deeper meaning.
