“In the three years since its founding, Pro Musica Hebraica, an organization dedicated to bringing neglected Jewish music to the concert hall, has produced two concerts a year of uncommon interest.” So says the Washington Post. Our first seasons at Washington's Kennedy Center featured critically-acclaimed performances by Itzhak Perlman, the ARC Ensemble of Canada, and the Apollo Ensemble of Amsterdam, among others.
