We recognize International Holocaust Remembrance Day today with our Evening Masterwork, Henryk Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3. Titled “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs,” the symphony is often viewed as a memorial to victims of the Holocaust with one movement even setting to music a prayer found written on the wall of a Gestapo prison cell. The symphony also highlights the theme of maternal bonds in the midst of wartime. It’s our Evening Masterwork, tonight at 7, on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
