The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County will host songwriter and musician Toby Tobias performing Journey From Johannesburg on Sunday, March 5 at 2:00 p.m.
South African-born Tobias will share his personal story of hope during a time of division — war and upheaval across three continents — during the performance.
Tobias’s life story, captured in his original music, begins in Johannesburg under apartheid rule, then continues in Israel as it battled for its own identity, and finally to America where he makes his home.
In this special performance, Tobias will be joined by members of Glen Cove’s Calvary A.M.E. Church Choir led by music director, Robert Meeks, and choir director, Dolores Waller.
Huntington-based musicians, Mike Nugent on guitar and Richie Guererro on percussion, will round out the band.
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center is located at Welwyn Preserve, 100 Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove.
There is a requested donation of $10.
