In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the County Line Community Band will present their Holocaust Remembrance Concert on Sunday, May 5th at 3p.m. at the Lampasas Performing Arts Center on the Campus of Northeast Lakeview College. The band will be joined by the 323rd Army Band, stationed on Fort Sam, to present this touching and inspirational concert. The night will feature moving stories of music and how it served as a source of strength, faith and hope during the Holocaust. (County Line Community Band, 2024)

The story of the composition of Ani Ma’Amin on a train ride to the concentration camp and the secretly defiant performance of Kol Nidrei by the Violinist of Auschwitz are highlighted. Music composed at Auschwitz by imprisoned musicians will be performed and the story of how music was used by the SS to veil the true horror of their purpose are revealed.

This concert will prove to be a discovery of hope and faith through music while simultaneously serving as a source of heartfelt remembrance for those who perished in the Holocaust. The concert is free and open to the public.
