The MFAH and the DACAMERA Young Artists present a concert inspired by the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Gallery for Judaica.

The Herzstein Gallery features outstanding works of historical Judaica. Among the highlights are an early-19th-century silver and gold Torah Shield, an especially precious 14th-century illustrated prayer book, and a rare 5th-century oil lamp. Art from the MFAH collections and loans from other Houston collections are included.

About the Performers
The DACAMERA Young Artists program is a fellowship for emerging professional instrumentalists, vocalists, and composers. The goal is to encourage musicians to develop the skills to become passionate, forward-thinking, community-focused “citizen artists” who reimagine the traditional notions of making music and contribute to society through the transformative power of their art and social engagement.
