This year marks the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi 
concentration camps.  Coinciding with this momentous and hopeful event, 
the Kazez-Street Duo will launch a major European concert tour this 
summer.  Their performance schedule begins in the heart of Germany and 
ends in areas of anti-Nazi resistance:  Berlin--Prague--Salzburg--
Florence--Rome--Geneva--Paris--Brussels--London.

The last hundred years has brought the music world a rich and varied 
repertoire of "Music on Jewish Themes."  Composers such as Ernest Bloch, 
Joachim Stutschewsky, and Julius Chajes have produced musical 
masterworks in which the melodies, the harmonies, and the myriad nuances 
of pitch and rhythm are unmistakably Jewish.  These and other composers 
have based their music on the many musical styles of the Jewish world:  
Sephardic, Yiddish, Klezmer, Hassidic, Yemenite, Hebrew, Israeli, and 
others.  These composers have written many of their finest, most 
popular, and most appealing instrumental works for the cello.  These 
composers are major figures in Jewish musical culture.  Thus, these 
performances serve not only to entertain, but also to celebrate, 
illustrate, and illuminate the history of Jewish art music.

The Kazez-Street Duo will continue concerts in this series during 
1995-96 season with performances in Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, 
Barcelona, Spain, and Bombay, India.

I look forward to meeting all of you at our summer 1995 European concerts.
