Virtual conversation with Director of Saul & Ruby's Holocaust Survivor Band, Tod Lending and film subjects Saul Dreier and Ruby Sosnowicz as well as a musical performance on Opening Night.


SYNOPSIS:
Saul Dreier didn’t pick up the drumsticks until he was 89-years-old, but he is motivated by a dream: to perform and share the klezmer music that sustained him during his time in concentration camps. Only a few years later, he and his friend, 87-year-old accordionist/keyboardist Ruby Sosnowicz, form The Holocaust Survivors Band. The duo are on a mission to share their lust for life and spread peace to the world. Their pursuit takes a new direction as they read about the rise of anti-Semitism and prejudice: the band’s new goal is to return to Poland, where they were born and perform in tribute to their families, and so many others who perished.

Wednesday, November 4, 7:30 pm. Live Program is included with purchase of a ticket or pass.
