Dr. Alan Mason will explore great classical and popular musicians and composers who have made careers for themselves based on their artistry, and not their Jewish identity. This is a phenomenon of the 20th century, when Jewish musicians and composers are mainstreamed into the professional musical community based on merit, talent, and contribution, without influence of their Jewishness.

  • This program is part of our Lecture Series at the Jewish Museum of Florida in Miami Beach.
