About the Festival
Praised as "one of the highest-quality concert series in town" (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review), the Pittsburgh Jewish Music Festival is an annual summer concert series devoted to improving cultural life for Pittsburgh's Jewish and artistic communities at large.
The 2011 Festival, "Fables and Legends” (June 2-13) will explore some of the most famous folk tales from Jewish lore as told through music for film and theater. This season continues the Festival’s tradition of collaborating with multiple artistic disciplines. "The Golem" on June 2 features Betty Olivero’s live score for the silent German film “Der Golem” (1920), performed in conjunction with a DVD screening. "Jacob and Rachel" on June 6 and “The Dybbuk” on June 12 and 13 highlight instrumental suites of incidental music written for the earliest productions of Hebrew theater in Israel. All concerts this year showcase chamber music performed by members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and guests.
