During WWII in Terezin Concentration Camp, conductor and prisoner Rafael Schachter taught 150 prisoners the Verdi Requiem note by note after grueling days of forced labor. In an act of utmost defiance, this group persevered to keep art alive and performed the Requiem 16 times for their fellow prisoners. In a partnership with the Jewish Federation of CNY, The Syracuse Orchestra is proud to present The Defiant Requiem with the Syracuse University Oratorio Society, sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Central New York.

Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s Memorial and Independence Days, are observed back-to-back, creating one of the most striking rhythms in Israeli life. In the span of twenty-four hours, the country moves from collective mourning to celebration, a transition so intense that it can feel almost disorienting. Both days are marked by distinct rituals and ceremonies, religious and secular alike. This class will explore how they are observed and what this transition reveals about Israeli culture and society.
