Remembrance through Three Voices

Wednesday, April 2nd at 9:15

The Virtual School will “broadcast” a special live Holocaust remembrance performance from Hume Fogg Academic Magnet School on Wednesday, April 2nd at 9:15. The program will run 45-50 minutes. This special videoconference has spaces for only SIX schools, so register soon. We plan to do “test” calls and a “run through” of the program on Friday, March 28 at 9:00, so we hope that you can register early and then join us for this test connection.
This program is part of Hume Fogg’s Scholars in Residence Program. The performance/program is called Remembrance through Three Voices and will feature these three voices: a Holocaust survivor’s story; then, one telling the story of Olivier Messiaen, the composer of the Quartet for the End of Time; and then a few movements of the Quartet for the End of Time will be performed by Alias, classical musicians from the Nashville Symphony. Messiaen wrote the Quartet for the End of Time while captive in a German interment camp.
