MUSIC OF HOLOCAUST TO BE PERFORMED

The Jewish Community Center will present a program, “Music of the Holocaust: Melodies of Solace, Hope and Spiritual Resistance,” at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Freeman, a Holocaust ethnomusicologist, educator and recitalist, is the musicologist for the Association of Holocaust Organizations, the international alliance of Holocaust museums, state commissions and education programs. Tickets are $15 for members $20 for non-members. Pre-paid registration required by Thursday by visiting jccinsherman.org, calling 860-355-8050 or emailing info@jccinsherman.org.
