Soaring world premiere portrays a father-son relationship built in the shadow of the Holocaust.

Iron & Coal is a powerful new theatrical concert by acclaimed composer and performer Jeremy Schonfeld. Inspired by the memoir of Schonfeld’s father, who spent a year in the Auschwitz concentration camp at the age of ten, this soaring production strives to find meaning in a life and relationship built in the shadow of the Holocaust. The ghosts of a distant and vanished world, both of horror and the iron will to survive, mix with the present in this remarkable world-premiere production. 

Featuring dramatic visuals, a rock band, full orchestra, and over 120 adult and youth voices, Iron & Coal is a larger-than-life production that celebrates the indomitable spirit of our ancestors and the legacy we carry with us.
