Songs of Hope: A Night of Unity and Reflection
On Sunday, October 6, 2024, the Sydney Town Hall was filled with 1,800 proud Jews and allies, gathered to honour, remember, and uplift our community on the eve of October 7. The inaugural SHIR concert, titled Songs of Hope, brought us together in a powerful evening of music, reflection, and unity, as we marked one year since October 7.
The event wasn’t just a concert—it was a collective embrace of Jewish music, a curation of the melodies that have carried us through a year of challenges, mourning and sadness. The music became the soundtrack of our soul, stirring memories, hope, and resilience in all who were there.
It was an emotional evening that left a deep imprint on everyone who attended. For those who couldn’t join us in person—whether due to distance or the concert being sold out—we are pleased to share that the entire evening was recorded and is available for you to watch at your convenience.
A beautiful program booklet was also distributed during the event, filled with Jewish wisdom behind each carefully selected piece of music. You can now view it here and delve into the profound insights that guided the evening’s performances.
Keep the melodies alive with this playlist curated from SHIR: Songs of Hope. Let the songs continue to inspire and connect us as they did during this unforgettable night at Sydney Town Hall.
Shalom was honoured to support SHIR as associated producer for this concert
