Music Club | When Words Alone Fail: Music and the Shoah with Cantor Shanna Zell (Hybrid)

This lesson will explore some of the musical activities that took place during the Shoah, and the ways that Jews have collectively remembered the Shoah through music. Under even the most difficult of circumstances music continued to be composed. Music provided inspiration and comfort, and served as an outlet for self-expression and resistance. In the post-Shoah world, music has played a vital role in creating and maintaining collective memory.

This lesson was created by the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

Music Club unites music lovers to learn more about music we know, to be introduced to new music, and to enjoy the community of friends with similar musical interests. Prior to each meeting we listen to one or more works of a composer or performer and read about that composer or genre of music. Come join us!
