Pro Musica Hebraica is devoted to presenting Jewish classical music — much of it lost, forgotten, or rarely performed — in a concert-hall setting. Our April 10 inaugural concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington celebrated the 100th anniversary of the St. Petersburg school of Russian Jewish composers. In homage to them, our logo reproduces one of their early concert programs.
 
Our 2008-2009 season features two concerts of long-neglected masterpieces. On November 18, 2008, the ARC Ensemble of Canada's Royal Conservatory of Music presents works by Mieczysław Weinberg, Szymon Laks, and Sergei Prokofiev all composed in the aftermath of world war. On March 19, 2009 the Biava Quartet returns with recently recovered works for voice, piano, and strings by Russian Jewish composers along with Shostakovich's Fourth String Quartet.
