Inspired By Kaddish

By Andrew Walsh on Sunday, October 19, 2008.

Last May, New Hampshire composer Larry Siegel debuted a brand new piece of music that looked back on the atrocities of World War II and honored the victims of the Holocaust. His piece is called Kaddish, and Keene State’s Cohen Center for Holocaust Studies commissioned the work to mark its 25th anniversary. (Click here to listen to the Word of Mouth interview with Larry about the project and to hear some samples.)

Now, a group of musicians from the Keene area is gathering to pay homage to Larry’s work and to celebrate the arts at Keene State. The new performance, called Inspired by Kaddish, brings together music and spoken word that recall the Holocaust. But, according to a press release announcing the performance, Inspired by Kaddish “is not only about the past, but also about exploring our humanity and responding ethically to intolerance and injustice today. It culminates in a message of hope and peace that extends beyond the lines of religion, race, and ethnic background.”

The new project includes performances by KSC students and faculty, and it takes place November 1 at 7:30 pm at the school’s Redfern Arts Center on Brickyard Pond. Click here for more information.
