Music of Remembrance: Stormy Seas
Ticket price TBA
MOR's second Benaroya Hall concert features Sahba Aminikia’s Stormy Seas, telling the stories of young boat refugees from five countries who braved perilous waters in search of safe shores. We presented the world premiere of this MOR commission in one of last year’s online programs, and now you can experience it in the compelling immediacy of our live stage. Rodas Recordada, by Sid Robinovitch, recalls the island of Rhodes’ once-thriving Sephardic Jewish community and reveals a surprising connection with Seattle. Plus a pair of haunting songs based on Ladino poems, and music by three Dutch composers touched by the Holocaust.
The concert will take place at 5:30pm.
Tickets for the 2021-22 season will be available soon. Check here for updates: https://www.musicofremembrance.org/2020-2021-tickets
Because COVID-19 remains present in our communities, Music of Remembrance is planning live concerts in a cautious manner with safety protocols that include reduced seating capacity, audience distancing, masking, and vaccination requirements. Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our audience, performers and staff. Circumstances continue to evolve almost daily, and we’re prepared to make changes or take any additional steps that become necessary.
