The success of these concerts is due to the vision and generosity of Herb Rosner, to whom we are greatly indebted for his leadership and unwavering life long commitment to our institution. It is solely due to the hard work and resolve of Stanley Baker that Herb’s vision has become a reality. The Almighty should continue to bless both of them ad me’ah ve’esrim, until 120.

I invite all of you who have joined us at these concerts to enjoy not only the music and presentations but your surroundings as well. You are sitting in a piece of Charleston history, a beloved space of worship that has truly contributed to making this the Holy City. If you enjoy yourself here this evening, please let us know and consider getting involved in our organization.

Music has played an integral role in Judaism for thousands of years. From the tambourines at the Splitting of the Sea during the Exodus from Egypt to the trumpets and harps played by the Levites in the Temple in Jerusalem, music has been critical to the Jewish worship of the Almighty. It is therefore a great pleasure to welcome into BSBI a Piccolo Spoleto concert series. Our hope with this series is twofold: First, we would like to highlight the Jewish influence in many great masterpieces and the interactions between Judaism and contemporary music.

Second, we see this as yet another opportunity for BSBI to open its doors and be a place not just for prayer, but for community and for learning. We are much more than a Synagogue. We are a second home for many people. We are a diverse group of people who come together for a wide range of educational opportunities, social events, gourmet Shabbat and Holiday meals, and of course prayer.

And now we come together for chamber music too!

Aron Zelkowicz

Aron Zelkowicz

With a career encompassing a broad range of activities as a cellist, performer, teacher, and administrator, Aron Zelkowicz has cultivated a repertoire both classical and ethnic, familiar and obscure. For eleven years he served as the Founder and Director of the Pittsburgh Jewish Music Festival, which presented rare and diverse works from Jewish musical traditions. Under his guidance, the Festival featured renowned ensembles and guest artists from the orchestral, chamber, early music, rock, and world music genres in innovative and thematic programs, for which he directed every aspect of fundraising, marketing, production, and artistic planning. Critics noted his “impressive” directorial debut of an original 2013 production of the chamber opera “The Dybbuk” by Ofer Ben-Amots, and dubbed the Festival “one of the highest quality concert series in town” (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) and a local “best-kept secret” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). More recently the Festival has taken up an ambitious recording project devoted to composers from the St. Petersburg Society for Jewish Folk Music. The first two volumes of this “Russian Jewish Classics” series were released in 2015-16 on the Toccata Classics label, featuring music by Leo Zeitlin and Joachim Stutschewsky, with future albums slated for release in 2017.

As a chamber and orchestral musician, Dr. Zelkowicz has performed at the Tanglewood, Banff, Aspen, Sarasota, Chautauqua, Colorado, and Sunflower music festivals, the New York String Orchestra and Juilliard Quartet Seminars, with members of the Emerson and Cleveland Quartets, as Principal Cello of the Miami Symphony Orchestra, and on European and North American tours with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. As a teacher and coach to young string players, he has given master classes at the universities of Alaska, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Texas, and Wisconsin, and served on the faculties of Point Counterpoint Chamber Music Camp, the Brevard Music Center, Killington Music Festival, and the North Carolina Governor’s School. In 2013 he completed an eight-city tour of the midwest U.S. playing the complete Britten Cello Suites in honor of the composer’s 100th birthday.

A native of Ottawa, Canada, Aron Zelkowicz grew up in Pittsburgh and received degrees from the Eastman School of Music, Indiana University, and Stony Brook University, where his teachers included Paul Katz, Steven Doane, Janos Starker, and Colin Carr. He currently performs in the New England region as a member of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, and the Boston Lyric Opera.

Message from the Executive Director Welcome to Piccolo Spoleto at BSBI! My name is Irina Pevzner, and I am the Executive Director of Charleston Academy of Music. Since its birth in 2003, CAM has been the Lowcountry’s premier music school, providing intense, high-caliber instruction to students of all ages and backgrounds. CAM has grown exponentially since its founding and currently reaches over 200 students through its various programs. In addition to superior musical instruction by established and world-renowned educators, our students enjoy many opportunities for performance and additional musical experiences such as masterclasses and workshops.

At CAM, we are committed to providing access to music education to all youth. Every semester, we sponsor dozens of students through our scholarship program designed to help to those students who cannot afford to study an instrument or voice. Through the years, we’ve seen what an amazing impact it had on their academic achievement as well as overall well being. The success of this scholarship program culminated in our Kidzymphony initiative. Launched in 2009, it provided instruction in violin, viola, cello in various group activities such as orchestra rehearsals, basic skills, and theory to selected students in an after school setting. In addition to the weekly instruction, Kidzymphony students also performed multiple times throughout the year in venues that are accessible to diverse audiences. All performances were free and open to the general public. This popular program has touched the lives of hundreds of children. Rewarding and enriching, there have been numerous success stories. This year, several of our students auditioned and were admitted to the highly competitive and prestigious School of the Arts magnet of the Charleston County School District.

Besides private instruction, we offer interactive early childhood music programs for children 8 months to 5 years of age and their caregivers, classes in theory and composition, string and guitar ensembles, as well as Summer Music Fest. Please, go to our website at www. charlestonmusic.org to find out more.

CAM’s Executive Director Dr. Irina Pevzner was born in Ukraine and raised in Latvia.

After graduating from the Riga Jazep Medins Music College, she moved to the United States. Dr. Pevzner holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of South Carolina. Her dissertation titled Forgotten Russian Piano Music: The Sonatas of Anatoly Aleksandrov was recently published by Scholar’s Press.

She also holds a Master of Music degree in piano performance from Carnegie Mellon University, Artist Certificate from the College of Charleston, and a Bachelor of Music degree from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania.

Irina has performed in Latvia, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Brazil, and throughout the east coast of the U. S. She is a frequent performer at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. Locally, she has performed at the Monday Night Concert Series, International Piano Series, Bishop Gadsden Concert Series, and Emily Remington Concerts. In addition, she is one of the core performers with Chamber Music Charleston.

While continuing solo and chamber music performance career, she was on the faculty at the College of Charleston for 11 years. She has been teaching at Charleston Academy of Music since its founding year and became its Executive Director in 2015. A number of Dr. Pevzner’s students have achieved success in local and national competitions.

A Short History of BSBI Brith Sholom Beth Israel Congregation (BSBI) welcomes you to our beautiful and historic synagogue. We are the South’s oldest Orthodox synagogue, as well as the oldest Ashkenazi Orthodox synagogue in continuous existence in the United States. Our roots go back to 1852, when recent immigrants to Charleston hailing from Poland, Prussia and Lithuania first gathered for services in accordance with the Ashkenazi traditions of Orthodox Judaism. Although there had been an Orthodox synagogue in Charleston since 1749, the existing synagogue adhered to the Sephardi customs of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews. The founders of BSBI wanted to worship according to the Ashkenazi traditions they had grown up with. In 1854, these newcomers to Charleston formally organized themselves into a new congregation, under the name Berith Shalome. By 1856 Berith Shalome had received a charter of incorporation from the South Carolina legislature and had acquired a cemetery. In 1861, just after the Civil War began, our congregation purchased the property where it had been meeting for services since the mid-1850s. During the Civil War, when Charleston was besieged and shelled by Union forces, our congregation was the only one of Charleston’s three synagogues to keep its doors open, and provided kosher meat and matzoh during this trying time. Berith Shalome contributed a number of its members to the defense of Charleston, and several Confederate veterans are buried in our first cemetery.

Over 160 years have passed since Berith Shalome’s beginnings. Now known as Brith Sholom Beth Israel, our congregation’s name reflects both the original Berith Shalome Congregation as well as Congregation Beth Israel, which was founded in 1911 and merged with Berith Shalome in 1954. BSBI continues to proudly uphold Orthodox Judaism, while warmly welcoming Jews of all backgrounds and all levels of observance. Our sanctuary includes many features of the second synagogue of Berith Shalome, dedicated in 1874. These include the magnificent Ark and the fluted columns supporting the women’s gallery. Also noteworthy are the stained glass windows representing the tribes of Israel, dating to 1956. BSBI provides a full complement of services necessary for a Jewish community, including a mikvah, classes and daily services. You will always find the doors of BSBI open wide in welcome.
