>The Saint Petersburg Society was a group of Jewish musicians who studied
>at the St. Petersburg Moscow conservatories at the end of the 19th
>century. These composers rediscovered their Jewish musical roots,
>documented folk music from the Shtetl, and wrote arrangements and original
>art songs in Yiddish.  Most of these composers - the most notable of them
>Joel Engel - migrated later to the US and Palestine, where they laid the
>foundation for modern Israeli folk music.
>
>The concert includes songs by Leo Low, Janot Roskin, A. Shitomirsky, and
>Israel Brandmann.  We will also perform songs by Chopin and Rachmaninoff.
>
>Admission is free.
