Join us for a tribute to Boris Lurie (1924–2008), a Holocaust survivor, artist, activist, and founder of the NO! art movement who emigrated to New York in 1946, is a powerful synthesis of historical music, visual art, archival testimony, and live performance. The program situates Lurie’s work within the broader artistic and intellectual responses to the Holocaust.

Featuring violinist Ilana Zaks-Nederlander, this event honors Lurie’s legacy with virtuosic solo violin works by Jewish composers persecuted during the Holocaust, including Hans Krása, Szymon Laks, Dick Kattenburg, Erwin Schulhoff, and Ernest Bloch. Stephanie Stebich, executive director of the Boris Lurie Art Foundation, gives opening remarks, and a Q&A with Zaks-Nederlander and Stebich concludes the program.
