A World of Jewish Culture at Piccolo Spoleto Concert Series at KKBE
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.

A World of Jewish Culture at Piccolo Spoleto
Inaugurated in 1998 as a joint project of the Yaschik/Arnold Jewish Studies Program at the College of Charleston, in cooperation with the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, A World of Jewish Culture at Piccolo Spoleto has brought Jewish music, film, and celebration to Charleston every year since. This year’s series is sponsored by the Herzman-Fishman Fund and the Seltzer-Lovinger Endowment for Jewish Cultural Programming.
