Music of the Holocaust

TICKETS ON SALE NOW

Presented by JazzInToronto

Join us on January 14, 2026 at the Jane Mallett Theatre for a special presentation of “Singing Through the Darkness” dedicated to music of the Holocaust.

Award winning singers Aviva Chernick, Judith Lander, Lenka Lichtenberg, Theresa Tova and musical director Fern Lindzon, present a moving program inspired by this unspeakably dark chapter of human history. With JazzInToronto’s Artistic Director Ori Dagan as host, the evening weaves historical storytelling with rich musical performances, illuminating how artists can use creativity as both refuge and resistance in turbulent times.

The dynamic concert takes place to mark Holocaust Remembrance 2026, the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, is at once intimate, moving, and deeply inspiring. Singing Through the Darkness honours the voices that persisted despite oppression, offering audiences a renewed appreciation for the enduring power of Jewish cultural expression. This performance follows three sold-out evenings at The Royal Ontario Museum where this collaboration was commissioned in conjunction with the exhibit “Auschwitz: Not Long Ago. Not Far Away.”

“Singing Through the Darkness” will take place on Wednesday January 14, 8pm at the Jane Mallett Theatre.
Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
