MOR Honors 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation • January 2025
Seattle, WA
This month, Music of Remembrance honors International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which coincides in 2025 with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Art From Ashes emphasizes the vital musical contributions made within the walls of Nazi concentration camps, demonstrating the expansive capacity of artists to create, even in the face of insurmountable injustice. This free concert at Benaroya Hall is an annual gift to the community, featuring the outstanding artists of the MOR chamber ensemble, drawn from the Seattle Symphony, and vibrant local partners including Northwest Boychoir and Seattle Girls Choir. The program is emblematic of MOR’s mission to ensure that both the music and the lessons of the Holocaust are not lost.
