Foundation for Jewish Youth Holds Free Concert Featuring Eastman Students

The Rochester Area Hillel Foundation and the Eastman Yiddish Players are
joining to create "An Evening of Song" or, in Hebrew, "Erev shel Shirim"
on Saturday, December 2 at 8:00 p.m. at Temple Beth El on Winton Road.

"We invite the entire community to come enjoy this evening of Jewish song and
festive Klezmer music performed by our talented Eastman School of music students
studying right here in Rochester," says Rabbi Ari Israel, Director of
Rochester Hillel. "The concert is free and so are the refreshments that will
follow the show. This is a wonderful opportunity to join our Jewish students
from area colleges and their friends for an evening dedicated to joy and
song."

The Rochester Area Hillel Foundation supports Jewish life on our college
campuses including, The University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of
Technology, and SUNY Geneseo. This event was made possible by the generosity of
the Foundation for the Jewish Community.

The following is from Ralph Locke - a professor at Eastman

I went to a brilliant and diverse concert by eastman's Jewish students (and
some non-Jewish ones, too).
They're repeating it Dec. 2 at Temple Beth El. U of R Hillel has been
putting up posters about it, but I wonder if your office might be able to
do something, too, or can it not bec. it's not an official ESM concert???
The repertoire ranges from a performance of Copland's Quiet City (trumpet,
Eng. horn, and small string orch.) to a klezmer suite brilliantly arranged
by two ESM undergrads: Jen Snyder and Josh Rutner.
The performances were amazing, incl. a glorious reading of Achron's famous
Hebrew Melody by violinist David Wish.
The audience went wild last night, and surely the wider community will
relish this event, if they could only learn about it enough in advance!!!
This is quite an occasion, worthy of a feature article--it includes a piece
by an Italian Jewish composers (Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco) for guitar and
piano, and three short pieces by an Eastman student, Philip Palmer.
