Jonathan Leshnoff’s Elegy, commissioned by our Music Director Yaniv Attar in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, is a deeply moving work resounding with beauty and introspection. Sharon Farber’s Concerto for Cello and Narrator blends powerful storytelling with the soulful voice of the cello in a unique and captivating experience. The cello, along with a narrator, recounts the story of an actor who survived the Holocaust and saved an American pilot and 150 Jewish children. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”), a masterpiece that celebrates heroism and the triumph of the human spirit.

Generously sponsored by The Jewish Community of Greater Rockford.
