Holocaust Memorial Day at Imperial War Museum
To mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, we present a specially commissioned programme in collaboration with Imperial War Museums, reflecting on the lives of those who survived the Holocaust and honouring the memory of those who did not.
Through music, we offer a space for remembrance, reflection and listening. This short performance, lasting approximately 20 minutes, is designed to be accessible to all and is free to attend, with no booking required. Seating on the roof terrace is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, though the performance will be clearly audible throughout the Atrium.
Holocaust Memorial Day is observed each year on 27 January, marking the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It is a moment to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside all victims of Nazi persecution. Through this programme, we seek to contribute to that collective act of remembrance, using music to bear witness, to reflect, and to ensure these histories are never forgotten.
