Film Screening: 'The Boys of Terezín' + chamber music
Free (Free)
Music of Remembrance presents a special screening of The Boys of Terezín. Created in 2011 by Seattle award-winning TV journalist John Sharify, this documentary film takes you inside the Terezín concentration camp as seen through the eyes of teenage boys imprisoned there, and recalled through the words they wrote in a secret magazine they created under the noses of their Nazi captors.
We witness the improbable reunion of four survivors 65 years later at the premiere in Seattle of an oratorio that gives musical voice to their lost friends’ extraordinary poems.
The free program includes live musical performance of chamber music composed in Terezín. Music of Remembrance Artistic Director Mina Miller discusses Terezin’s inspiring legacy of courage in the face of oppression, and relates it to SAM’s special exhibition: Go Tell It: Civil Rights Photography. Filmmaker John Sharify leads a Q/A following the screening.
