Regina Resnik Presents The Classic Kurt Weill

Program to air on CUNY TV Channel 75 on March 21, 9 p.m.

City University Television will offer Regina Resnik Presents The Classic Kurt Weill as its first live classical concert production, to air on CUNY TV Channel 75, Monday, March 21 at 9 p.m. (also 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.), and again on Sunday, March 27 at 1 p.m. This acclaimed concert was originally performed at the Elebash Recital Hall, CUNY Graduate Center, and was made possible by a generous grant from the Baisley Powell Elebash Fund.

The Classic Kurt Weill features opera legend Regina Resnik, who presents and narrates the program, and soprano Jennifer Aylmer, tenor Michael Philip Davis, and pianist Kenneth Merrill. Highlighting the classically trained voices for which Kurt Weill originally wrote, the program traces his opera, song and musical theater works from Berlin in the 1920s to Paris in the 1930s and New York in the 1940s. The artists draw on the composer's endless array of musical styles and his profound sense of social conscience in songs from The Threepenny Opera, Lady in the Dark, Knickerbocker Holiday, Street Scene, and many others. Special attention is paid to Weill's presence as a Jewish composer in Germany during Hitler's rise to power, and the composer's ardent embrace of America, his adoptive homeland.

The next collaboration between CUNY TV and Regina Resnik Presents will be The American Jewish Composers in Classical Song, which will air the end of May. This concert will feature four world premières and two U.S. premières, including a work by composer John Corigliano and librettist William M. Hoffman written especially for the occasion. The program was made possible by a generous grant from the Ledler Foundation.

Both programs are part of CUNY TV's ongoing "Celebrate 350" series, commemorating the 350th anniversary of Jewish life in America.

CUNY TV is seen in the five boroughs of Manhattan on Channel 75 on Time Warner Cable and Cablevision systems, and on Channel 109 on RCN.

B'nai B'rith Radio, the first 24-hour Jewish music Radio Station

Washington, D.C. --B'nai B'rith Radio, the first 24-hour Jewish music radio station located in the United States began broadcasting on the Internet Oct. 18, 2004.
B'nai B'rith Radio, sponsored by B'nai B'rith International (BBI), plays Jewish music from all over the world through its website, www.bnaibrithradio.org.

Unlike most Internet radio, it is free both of charge and commercials. The station is fully subsidized by BBI and its members and supporters.

Along with an eclectic Judaic play list-which includes traditional Yiddish, secular Israeli, Jewish American, Instrumental, and Chasidic music -there will be special programming like Saturday night sing-a-longs, a remembrance program for slain former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, and festive holiday shows during the Chanukah and Sukkot seasons.

"The goal is to unite the Jewish community throughout the world with music," said Joel S. Kaplan, president of BBI. B'nai B'rith Radio is a natural extension of BBI's history of reaching out and uniting Jewish communities. "Unfortunately, Jews are accustomed to coming together during tragedy, and to focus on the negative events in the world," states Kaplan. "Here is an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful richness of Jewish music. It is a common thread that Jews around the world can share." Daniel S. Mariaschin, Executive Vice President of B'nai B'rith International, narrates the program in English. Plans are in place to launch Spanish and French versions of the network later in the year. BBI is currently in talks with several satellite radio providers regarding broadcasting the station to their subscribers.

The series began Sept. 30.

``I grew up speaking Yiddish at home in Boston and hearing this music during services at synagogue and at social events where my uncle and four cousins played klezmer music,'' Nimoy said in a statement Friday. ``This program and this music makes me feel very much at home.'' (reported by AP)

The series' musical selections will range from biblical epics set to music by Kurt Weill, Jewish legends in tone poems, film scores and operas, symphonies and concertos based on Jewish themes, Yiddish theater songs and world premieres of recently discovered Jewish compositions by Leonard Bernstein.
