The NJK's commemorative concert, performed to a capacity audience at the St. Marien church in Pirna on January 26, combined music by forgotten music by persecuted Jewish composers with addresses by Ministerpräsident Michael Kretschmer (the Saxon head of State), Nizar Amer (Ministerial Councelor from the Israeli Embassy in Berlin), and Dr. Markus Pieper (managing director of the Foundation of Saxon Memorial Sites), among others. Here are two enthusiastic articles covering the event, from the Sächsische Zeitung and the Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten.

In November 2024, the orchestra continued its series of Young People's concerts at the Marie-Curie-Gymnasium in Dresden. The capacity audience at the lovely Aula was full of questions, and - after hearing music by Schreker and Lavry - engaged in a lively discussion with artistic director Michael Hurshell.
