Four violin pieces by Zina Schiff in celebration of Jerusalem Day
Yom Yerushalayim, marking the unification of the City of Jerusalem at the end of the Six Day War, will be commemorated this Friday, May 22. Thus, I am writing this column about my sister, violinist Zina Schiff’s 1995 4Tay Records release, King David’s Lyre, a celebration of Jerusalem 3000. The CD consists of works by Jewish composers from many different corners of the globe. Since Jewish longing for Jerusalem spanned over two thousand years in Diaspora, it is fitting that a tribute to Jerusalem includes Jewish composers from around the world. [Eileen Wingard]
