This event is made possible by support from the UNC Greensboro Jewish Studies Program, the Arts Council of Greater Greensboro, the North Carolina Council on the Holocaust, and the UNC Greensboro School of Music. Sincere thanks for their support of this program.

UNCG Jewish Studies is made possible by The Herman & Zelda Bernard Distinguished Professorship in Jewish Studies, The Henry Samuel Levinson Program Endowment for Jewish Studies, The Barbara Colchamiro Endowment, and The Judith Rosenstock Hyman Jewish Studies Program Endowment.

This lecture recital centers around the idea of commemoration. Commemoration is a process that involves witness, preservation, interpretation, and performance. This process calls upon human creativity, commitment, emotional connection, and contemporary context. Focusing on music based on the words of young people who witnessed the Holocaust—many of whom did not survive—the performance uses the power of music to bridge generations in active commemoration. These themes are shared with the exhibit Words, Music, Memory: Re(presenting) Voices of the Holocaust, on display in the atrium outside of Tew Recital Hall.

The flagship big bands of the Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program are back in their home-away-from-home, presenting a diverse program from the entire 100-year history of big band jazz music.

Summary:

In a whirlwind of love, deception, and redemption, the tale unfolds with Count Claudio swept off his feet by the enchanting Hero, his host’s daughter. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Hero’s sharp-tongued cousin, Beatrice, and the witty bachelor, Benedict, as they unwittingly stumble into a tangled web of false affection.

But as love blossoms, treachery lurks in the shadows, and Claudio falls victim to a sinister scheme, publicly condemning Hero as unfaithful on their wedding day. The shock leaves Hero seemingly lifeless, only to miraculously revive later, vindicated by a twist of fate.

In the midst of chaos, Benedict emerges as the unexpected hero, defending Beatrice’s family honor and winning her heart in the process. And just when all seems lost, the miraculous reunion of Claudio and Hero proves that love conquers even the darkest deceit, leaving hearts racing and spirits soaring in this thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and ultimate redemption!
