Judith Lynn Stillman to bring 'Echoes of Remembrance' to area

SHARON, Mass. — Judith Lynn Stillman will present “Echoes of Remembrance and Resilience” at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 at Temple Sinai of Sharon.

Stillman says the show will be a “deeply moving and multifaceted musical journey exploring humanity’s capacity to remember, endure and hope.”

The show will feature compositions honoring the victims of the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide, celebrating the “jeweled joy” of birdsong, confronting climate change and embracing the “profound connection between music and the human spirit.” Stillman aims “to bring together seemingly disparate worlds in a compelling artistic reflection on our shared humanity and our responsibility to one another and the planet.”

Joining Stillman are sopranos Jess Huettman and Teresa Eickel. Cantor Becky Khitrik will play clarinet. Together, these artists invite audiences to experience music as both witness and celebration to honor the victims of genocide, cherish beauty and find resilience and hope in an uncertain world.

Tickets are $18 through Nov. 3 or $25 at the door and can be bought at temple-sinai.com/form/stillman-concert-2026.html.

Stillman holds bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees from the Juilliard School and collaborated with Wynton Marsalis on their Sony Classical duo album, “On the Twentieth Century.” Her honors include the inaugural Pell Award for Excellence in the Arts and recognition as an Honored Artist of the American Prize for her achievements as a pianist and composer. Stillman is artist-in-residence and professor of music at Rhode Island College. She is also the associate conductor of HaZamir Providence and Temple Sinai’s High Holy Days music director.
