Come see and hear Meet Me in a Moment, a one-of-a-kind show that will bring you the best of Jewish classical music while immersing you in Jewish history and culture.
A classical music concert reimagined, Meet Me in a Moment features four great Jewish composers and sheds light on their lives and works. Each musical selection for violin and piano is followed by a historically-informed, theatrical scene from the composer’s life. Step back in time to Cleveland of the 1920’s and the living room of composer Ernest Bloch, join a rehearsal at the Jerusalem Academy of Music with Paul Ben-Haim, and attend a meeting of the Society of Jewish Folk Music in St. Petersburg with Lazare Saminsky. Meet one of America’s greatest modern Jewish composers, through a special video screening of Aviva Chertok’s interview with GRAMMY-nominated composer, Jonathan Leshnoff.
