Brundibar is a children’s opera performed by inmates of the Terezin concentration camp. This program is part of the Rediscovered Masters Program, a series of performances celebrating Jewish composers and their music, much of which was suppressed during the Holocaust period and subsequently forgotten. Music Director Michael Christie is committed to resurrecting this lost treasure and celebrating these artists’ rightful places in musical history.
The concert is Thursday, June 28th, 7:30 pm at Chautauqua Auditorium. Group tickets $60; includes Section A seats and Reception. Register online at www.boulderjcc.org.
