Zalmen Mlotek in Concert February 7, 2010

Internationally recognized concert pianist Zalmen Mlotek teams up with Sephardic singer Daniella Rabbani for an extraordinary night of Yiddish-Klezmer music.

Mr. Mlotek's many recordings include several made at the request of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. His tribute to wartime Yiddish Theater, which he conceived in collaboration with Adrienne Cooper, is performed all over the world. Mr. Mlotek conceived and was musical director for the first "All Star Klezmer Extravaganza" at Lincoln Center, which was filmed by PBS for Great Performances and later released on CD and video as the best selling "In the Fiddler's House" with Itzhak Perlman. He also wrote the Yiddish-Klezmer Broadway musical "Those Were the Days," the first bilingual musical honored with a Drama Desk Award and nominated for two Tony Awards, and his Yiddish choral work can be heard on Mandy Patinkin's Yiddish language CD, "Mameloshen." He currently conducts The New Yiddish Chorale.

This concert is being underwritten in memory of Naomi Leah Solomon by the Solomon family.
