April 1, 2008 – FORT WAYNE, IN. The Heartland Chamber Chorale presents a new work titled “Let us Remember”, with text by Pulitzer Prize winner Charlie Savage. This special community commemoration of Yom Hashoah under the sponsorship of the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation will take place on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at 7 p.m., Temple Achduth Vesholom, 5200 Old Mill Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The composer, Mr. Nance, will conduct the Heartland Chamber Chorale in performance of this commissioned work. Mr. Savage will attend the concert.
Charlie Savage was First Prize winner in a poetry contest sponsored by the Jewish Federation. This youthful effort from the Memorial Park Middle School student was a predictor of Mr. Savage’s career. After graduation from North Side High School, Harvard University and Yale Law School, Mr. Savage won a 2007 Pulitzer Prize and is currently Washington correspondent for the Boston Globe. He was first noticed in the mainstream media as the author of a story, “The Dark Side of the Rainbow” (or the Dark Side of Oz, the Wizard of Floyd) while a 20 year old reporter on the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The composition will be featuring on two programs commemorating Yom Hashoah:
April 27, 2008 @ 4 PM. at First Wayne Street United Methodist Church.
