A concert devoted entirely to Chassidic music will be given at Town Hall on Saturday evening, March 9, under the auspices of the Jewish Club, for the benefit of Mailamm, the American-Palestine music association, whose program of activities here and abroad includes the support of a department of research in biblical cantillation at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
The Town Hall program has been arranged by Simeon Bellison, solo clarinetist of the Philharmonic – Symphony Orchestra who, together with Julius Engel, father of the movement to save the Jewish national folk music, has done much work in this field.
The program includes many compositions by members of the old guard of Jewish composers, such as Julius Engel, who died a few years ago in Palestine; Solomon Rosowsky, in charge of Mailamm’s research department at the Hebrew University; the Frenchman, Milhaud, the Polish conductor-composer, Gregory Fitelberg, and the composers Savel Zilberts and Jacob Weinberg, who are now in this country.
