The Shoah Songbook is an ongoing project by the Likht Ensemble that researches and performs music from the ghettos of World War II. The works revolve around themes such as spring, dreams, longing, and resistance, combining lyrical beauty with subtle irony and deeply moving truth. The program is complemented by scholarly lectures by Nate Ben-Horin and Jaclyn Grossman on vocal music from the estates of the Exile Art Center and on the work of exile composers in Canada.
The project is supported by the Canada Council for the Art.
