RE: Yiddish Gilbert and Sullivan

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

Once I had the details of the company that put on these shows.  I was 
interested in possibly inviting them to London for the Festival but lost their 
contact details.  Can someone please supply me with contacts.

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
