[music of remembrance_1.jpg] Music of Remembrance presents Mirror of Memory Saturday, February 1, 2 pm Tacoma Art Museum Seattle-based chamber music group Music of Remembrance makes its Tacoma debut with a free concert at Tacoma Art Museum this Saturday, February 1, at 2 pm. Four of the composers whose music the group will play, David Beigelman, Ernest Bloch, Gideon Klein, Hans Krasa, and Erwin Schulhoff, were each imprisoned in concentration camps and ghettos during World War II. The program, Mirror of Memory, includes commentary about each works' musical and historical context. The performers, members of Music of Remembrance's stellar instrumental ensemble, are among Seattle's leading musicians, drawn largely from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Music of Remembrance presents this program as part of its Sparks of Glory series of concerts with commentary. The series is made possible, in part, by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Thanks to donors and the NEA, this musical witness outreach series has been presented free to the public since the 2005-06 season, allowing Music of Remembrance to meet new audiences beyond the concert hall. Music of Remembrance has also offered an associated in-school educational program that brings chamber musicians in live performance and multimedia presentations to participating high schools, colleges and other community settings. The performance will include: Ernest Bloch: Prayer (1924); transcribed for strings by Alfredo Antonini Benjamin Shmidt, cello soloist Mikhail Shmidt, violin; Leonid Keylin, violin; Susan Gulkis Assadi, viola; Mara Finkelstein, cello David Beigelman: Dybbuk Dances (Lodz ghetto, 1941) Mikhail Shmidt, violin; Leonid Keylin, violin Hans Krasa: Dance (Terezin, 1944) Mikhail Shmidt, violin; Susan Gulkis Assadi, viola; Mara Finkelstein, cello Gideon Klein: Duo (1942) Mikhail Shmidt, violin; Benjamin Shmidt, cello Erwin Schulhoff: Five Pieces for String Quartet (1923) Mikhail Shmidt, violin; Leonid Keylin, violin; Susan Gulkis Assadi, viola; Mara Finkelstein, cello For more information visit Music of Remembrance<http://www.musicofremembrance.org/~musicofr/concert/sparks-glory-mirror-memory>. ### HOURS - Wednesdays-Sundays 10 am-5 pm, Third Thursdays 10 am-8 pm ADMISSION - Adult $10, Student/Military/Senior (65+) $8, Family $25 (2 adults and up to 4 children under 18).
