Enjoy the music of four great Jewish composers and learn about 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 violinist Aviva Chertok Li's interview with Grammy-nominated composer, Jonathan Leshnoff.
