We invite you to an exciting event: the Washington Hebrew Congregation will be hosting an event for the Royal Danish Embassy for the 70th Anniversary of the Rescue in Denmark of its entire Jewish population during WWII.
The Danish Ambassador, Ambassador Peter Taksoe-Jensen will be speaking, and one of the features of the program will be a performance of Rescue in Denmark Symphony composed and orchestrated by Rabbi Arnold Saltzman. This is on Tuesday evening, October 15, 2013 at McComb Street and Massachusetts Avenue in DC. The program will be from 7:30-9:00. The orchestra will have about 20 participants including the conductor, strings orchestra, several percussionists, and Organ. This was at the request of the Government of Denmark. We hope you will join us for this exciting tribute to Denmark, there is no charge or ticket required. The doors open for seating in the Sanctuary beginning at 7:00 PM, and we suggest that you allow time for parking as a large attendance is expected.
