REGINA RESNIK presents COLORS OF THE DIASPORA

A Kaleidoscope of Jewish Classical Song. Colors of the Diaspora, comprised of three complete concerts produced by "Regina Resnik Presents", offers a kaleidoscope of Jewish classical song and operatic excerpts. The first concert, titled “The American Jewish Composers,” includes the world premiere of A Petition to the Governor, written by John Corigliano. The second concert is “Covert or Convert,” examining works by Jews who wrote in secret or were ambivilent about their religious identity, as well as works by converts to Judaism. Composers include Anton Rubinstein, Otto Klemperer, and Felix Mendelssohn. In the final concert, “Crossing all Boundaries,” we encounter works on Jewish themes by non-Jewish composers, including works by Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov, Shostakovich, Schubert, Massenet, Ravel and others.
