Retrospective of Yiddish Art Songs

A retrospective of the Yiddish art songs of Lazar Weiner (1897-1982), and three chamber pieces by Weiner’s son, composer Yehudi Wyner, make up the latest program by the Jewish Music Foundation, Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in Gindi Auditorium, 15600 Mulholland Drive.

Pianist Wyner will assist singers Jennifer Trost and Anne Marie Ketchum; among the other participants will be violinist Mark Kashper. Wyner’s “Memorial Music” (1971-73), “Dances of Atonement” (1979) and “Tanz und Maissele” (1981) will be receiving West Coast premieres.

Wyner, formerly on the composition faculty at Yale University, has been a winner of the Rome Prize in composition.
