We always talked about playing music in Japan. Toru Takiguchi was one of the first musicians i ever worked with when i started performing in New York City. Over 9 years, we ended up performing all over the country together. I got to introduce him to my hometown and some of my favorite cities. It’s been a few years since he moved back to his homeland.
My grandfather’s story was shared over 22 million times on FB. Now come hear his story of survival in person, plus music that we will perform together, including a song he composed while a prisoner in Auschwitz that I translated into English.
This Spring, i’ll be once again traveling with my grandfather, Cantor and Holocaust survivor David S. Wisnia. We will present several programs reflecting on our recent travels in Poland, commemorating Yom HaShoah – a day of Holocaust Remembrance. Upcoming April engagements include events in New York City, Newtown PA, Williamsport PA, Morgantown WV, Newark DE, and Boston MA. All programs are open to the public, see the tour schedule for more event details.
