Join the Iris Music Project and Yiddish vocalist Frieda Enoch for an evening of music in commemoration of Yom HaShoah (International Holocaust Remembrance Day). The musicians present beautiful music that showcases the power of the human spirit despite the darkest of days. Against all odds, faith, hope and music have always strengthened and uplifted us! *Desserts, Coffee, and Tea will be served.
The State of Israel initiated Resolution 60/7 in the UN, to remember and honor the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In November 2005 International Holocaust Remembrance Day was established.
We commemorate this day with a concert, featuring the beautiful music of the Iris Music Project and vocalist, Frieda Enoch. Music is a powerful expression of emotions and experiences, and unites, strengthens and inspires us! We look toward a bright future filled with love, humor and hope, but we will always remember…!’
