Music At Kol Ami



Please join us to commemorate Yom Hashoah with a moving program of music, poetry, and paintings. Witness the world premiere of “Through Children’s Eyes,” a view of the Holocaust as seen through the poetry and drawings of children who were interned in the camps. The work has been adapted and written by Cantor Mark Saltzman with music commissioned from award winning composer, David Shukiar. Performed by Cantor Saltzman, Cantor Ida Rae Cahana, Rachel Smith-Weinstein, pianist Lisa Edwards, cellist, John Redfield, and clarinetist, Gary Gould. Also included is “Through My Mother’s Eyes,” a personal memoire of the world renowned artist Alice Lok Cahana, a survivor of Auschwitz, who will be participating in the performance. This dramatic performance incorporates Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian music of the period. Performed by Cantor Ida Rae Cahana, actress Gretchen Johnson, pianist Lisa Sylvester and Gary Gould.

Please come help us to fully honor and bear witness to the impact and consequences of the Holocaust, and to hope for a brighter future.
