Classical appearance of Yiddish singer Ilana Kochinska

[IKochinska <IKochinska...>]

Not Jewish, but definitely music: 
Ilana Kochinska, who some of you may know from Yiddish music performances and 
from the premiere of Jeffrey Schanzer's piece "The Past Is Present," is 
singing the lead role, Susanna, in "The Marriage of Figaro" this weekend in 
NY city.
In the supporting role of Basilio is another singer active in Yiddish 
singing, Ethan Fran, who often sings G&S in Yiddish with the Long Island 
Yiddish G&S troupe.

Please feel free to pass along to other folks in the greater NY area who 
might be interested!
Thanks,
Ilana  
Note: If you have any late-breaking questions, please call the number 
indicated or send e-mail before 4 pm!
