Avram Sutzkever

[Sylvie Braitman <curlySylvie...>]

 For you all in the San Francisco Bay Area:
Sutzkever is a Vilna poet celebrating is 90th birthday (in Israel). This
evening is put together by wonderful Yiddish lovers and experts (Paul
Hamburg, Eli Katz, Prof. Harshav, Khana Bloch,,,,and my apologies to all the
others whose name I don't recall precisely enough, who are no less experts
and lovers.)
For the musical part, I'll be accompanied by Daniel Hoffman (SF Klezmer
experience and Davka). The violin plays a major role in Sutzkever's poetry,
and we will perform Daniel's setting to one of the poems. Michael Grossman
(Staff at the SF Conservatory of Music) will be at the piano.
