Music of Remembrance (MOR) is a Seattle-based performing arts organization founded in 1998, dedicated to addressing human rights and social justice issues through the transformative power of music. Initially focused on ensuring the voices of Holocaust witnesses are heard, MOR has evolved to explore the resilience of those persecuted for their faith, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality.
As a creative catalyst for testimonies of tomorrow, MOR commissions persuasive musical works that delve into the consequences of intolerance towards marginalized groups. Through powerful operas like "Before It All Goes Dark" by Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer, MOR continues to amplify the stories of those who have faced persecution and exclusion, fostering a deeper understanding of the impact of discrimination on society.
