New Budapest Orpheum Society
Commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day
Sunday, May 1 at 3:00 pm
Fulton Recital Hall
Free Admission
“The NBOS has always enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate May Day, which is International Workers Day throughout the world. This year, however, the very important day of commemoration, Yom Ha-Shoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, also falls on May 1st (it is a movable holiday). The reflection and remembrance that Yom Ha-Shoah asks of us in the wake of the Holocaust are also public and shared, and they are also critical to what the New Budapest Orpheum Society brings to the University.” — Philip Bohlman, Mary Werkman Distinguished Service Professor of Music and the Humanities in the College.
