The public is invited to the Symphony of Hope benefit concert on May 2nd at 8 pm at the Tilles Center's Krasnoff Theater. Organizers emphasize that the concert is not just about beautiful music; it presents an opportunity to give hope and support to two vital organizations, The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance (JAMD) and the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center (HMTC).

The concert will showcase special guests from JAMD, a school in Israel currently facing a funding crisis due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. Two students, one Jewish and one Arab, will accompany one of the music selections, sending a powerful message of unity through music. Michael Klinghoffer, the President of JAMD, will also attend the event, further emphasizing the importance of this benefit concert.

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center, a nonprofit educational organization, is another beneficiary. HMTC educates students on the atrocities of the Holocaust and the importance of tolerance and respect for all people. Funds from the concert will aid in their mission to enlighten minds and promote a world free from hate and prejudice.

“This spectacular event is a golden opportunity for community members to support these organizations. By attending the Symphony of Hope Concert, our community will not just enjoy an evening of incredible music, but will be helping JAMD and HMTC continue their essential work,” stated David Winkler, Composer and Executive and Artistic Director of Chamber Players International.
