Chamber Music for the Holidays

classical
Valley Beth Shalom

In this inaugural collaboration with the American Youth Symphony (AYS), the Lowell Milken Fund for American Jewish Music will present a concert of chamber repertoire at Valley Beth Shalom for the whole community that celebrates the holiday season and highlights American Jewish composers both in the Milken Archive and at large. The AYS chamber music program offers the opportunity for principal players in one of the nation’s top fellowship orchestras to step out from the group and explore the chamber repertoire for their instrument. The Milken Fund is proud to support the continued education of these incredible musicians.

This event is made possible by the Lowell Milken Fund for American Jewish Music at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. It is co-sponsored by Valley Beth Shalom.
