The May 14 concert features the music of Mendelssohn, Mahler, and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, all of whom were born to Jewish families. (As a child, Mendelssohn was converted to Lutheranism by his father, who also adopted the name Bartholdy; Mahler converted to Catholicism in his late 30s.)
The program includes Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Baruch Haba B'Sheim Adonai, Mendelssohn's Hear My Prayer, and Mahler songs.
