Arts for All at the University of Maryland, along with the School of Music and The Clarice, present a free concert in response to the ongoing violence in the Middle East. It was organized to provide space for reflection, mourning the lives of innocent people lost to violence and a way to support each other in community.
As we acknowledge how the devastation of war is affecting countless communities, we welcome all members of the UMD community and beyond to experience the power of music as a reminder of our interconnectedness and to re-center together in empathy and compassion.
With performances from School of Music students and faculty, including members of the
UMD Symphony Orchestra
UMD Voice/Opera Division
UMD Jazz Ensemble
UMD Brass Ensemble
UMD Piano Division
And John Holiday, associate professor
Special virtual presentation by the Jerusalem Youth Chorus
The Jerusalem Youth Chorus (JYC) is an Israeli-Palestinian music and dialogue project that has been providing a space for young people from East and West Jerusalem to grow together in song and dialogue since 2012. Through the co-creation of music and the sharing of stories, the JYC empowers youth in Jerusalem with the responsibility to speak and sing their truths, as they become leaders in their communities and inspire singers and listeners around the world to work for peace, justice, inclusion and equality.
