We Remember Them: Choral Music from the Camps and the Ghettos March 10, 2011

The Collegiate Chorale presents the concert "We Remember Them: Choral Music from the Camps and the Ghettos", hosted by Cantor Angela Warnick Buchdahl, featuring pianist Kenneth Bowen and conducted by James Bagwell on Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 7pm at Central Synagogue, 652 Lexington Avenue at 55th Street, NYC. Single tickets start at $25 and are available online at www.collegiatechorale.org, or by phone at (646) 202-9623.

From within the camps and ghettos of the Holocaust came a great deal of music, passed along secretly and embraced by the entire community. For obvious reasons, much of it was choral, and included songs of great power, depth, and beauty. Maestro Bagwell will lead The Collegiate Chorale in a program entitled "We Remember Them". The evening will consist of choral works by composers who perished in the Holocaust, alongside works by contemporary composers who wrote to sustain the memory of all who suffered in the camps and ghettos. Interspersed among the choruses will be letters and readings by Cantor Buchdahl and Maestro Bagwell. The concert will be held in the magnificent sanctuary of Central Synagogue.

The Collegiate Chorale’s 69th season continues with "Something Wonderful – A Night of Broadway with Deborah Voigt", conducted by Ted Sperling, on May 19, 2011 at 7pm at Carnegie Hall. Deborah Voigt will be joined by featured guest artist Paulo Szot. The company’s 2010/2011 Season began with Brahms’ "Alto Rhapsody", Op.53 and "A German Requiem" at Carnegie Hall in October and continued with "Knickerbocker Holiday" in January at Alice Tully Hall.

Single tickets for all concerts can be purchased by calling The Collegiate Chorale at (646) 202-9623 or by visiting www.collegiatechorale.org.
