Wednesday, July 29  RUACH, Inc. is presenting a concert entitled “Jewish Spirit: Works on Jewish Themes and by Jewish Composers,” at 7:00 p.m. in Youth Arts Hall of the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, 325 W. Walnut St.

Jewish spirit, or ruach, is inherent any time a Jewish composer composes a piece, and is embraced many times that a composer writes a piece on Jewish themes.  This concert, part of RUACH’s 10th anniversary year of programming, illustrates varied composers’ perspectives on and expressions of Jewish spirit, as depicted by three incredible Milwaukee musicians.

The concert features Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Associate Concertmaster (Third Chair) Jeanyi Kim, MSO Principal Trombone Megumi Kanda, and pianist Elena Abend, Lecturer in Piano at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts.
