The Colorado Hebrew Chorale (CHC) is honored to premiere Zeh HaYom (“This is the day”), composed by local survivor Oscar “Osi” Sladek and arranged for chorus and piano by CHC pianist Travis Yamamoto.

Monday, April 20, 7:00 pm. JEWISHcolorado is sponsoring the Denver community’s annual Yom HaZikaron tribute commemorating Israel’s official Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of terror.
