The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and the Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra are putting on a special concert to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the events of September 11. The concert will feature Samuel Barber’s "Adagio for Strings," the world premiere of Gary S. Fagin’s "9/11 in Memoriam," Edward Kennedy (Duke) Ellington’s "Come Sunday" featuring the KCO’s Orlando Wells on violin, and other musical pieces interspersed with several short readings. It'll take place in person on September 11 at 8pm in the Museum’s Edmond J. Safra Hall for a hybrid audience. There are a limited number of tickets to attend in person and an unlimited number of virtual tickets to view the livestream from home.
"As a memorial institution ourselves, we know how important it is to mark milestone anniversaries in community and with great art," says Jack Kliger, President & CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. "Anniversaries provide occasion to grieve those we’ve lost and to honor the incredible acts of bravery and love that inspired us to carry on through dark and difficult days. We are very much looking forward to welcoming the Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra to our Museum and to offering all who wish to observe the 20th anniversary some beautiful music from our Hall, located in the ever-resilient lower Manhattan."
