In the final program in the "Light in the Midst of Darkness" series, the virtuosi Adam Levin (classical guitar) and Jacob Reuven (mandolin) will perform a stirring rendition of "Rachel's Mandolin." The music honors the touching story of Rachela Zelmanowicz-Olewski, a Jewish mandolin player from Poland who, as a young woman, played in the Auschwitz women's orchestra. Rachel's dramatic life story of heroic survival at Auschwitz, liberation at Bergen-Belsen, and eventual settlement in Israel forms the backdrop for the music. Light refreshments will be served after the concert.
