PS 26 - Jewish Voices in Classical Music

Jewish Voices in Classical Music (60 min)

Experience an intimate evening of chamber music at the beautiful KKBE Synagogue, featuring a distinguished ensemble of artists. Violinist Yuriy Bekker is joined by five-time Grammy-nominated classical guitarist Mak Grgić, renowned violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport, violist Michael Klotz, and Charleston Symphony principal cellist Benjamin Mekinulov. The program pairs Mendelssohn’s masterful String Quartet in A minor with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s vibrant Guitar Quintet. These works showcase both emotional depth and lasting influence. Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s compositions left a lasting mark on Hollywood music. Join us for this inspiring concert celebrating the rich legacy of Jewish composers and their enduring contributions to our cultural heritage.
