FREE ADMISSION
RSVP: lbell@azjhs.org

We are proud to co-sponsor with the Los Angeles German Consulate General an evening of classical music featuring the work of Jewish composers performed by cellist Rebecca Rust and bassoonist Friedrich Edelmann.

Rust, born in Oakland and raised in Richmond, California, and Edelmann from Kaiserslautern in southwest Germany, met and have been married for over 40 years. They have had stellar teachers and performed under the baton of internationally recognized conductors, almost household names, such as Karel Ancerl, Daniel Barenboim, Carlo Maria Giulini, Erich Leinsdorf,

Lorin Maazel, and Kurt Masur.  They travel about three months out of the year performing in the United States, especially the West Coast where Rust has family and friends. Performance has also taken them to Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, England, France, Israel, Italy, Japan (at least 25 locations), Korea, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Tunisia, and

Venezuela, where Friedrich performed and taught while “Gustavo Dudamel was a baby.”  Recently, Rust and Edelmann appeared at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust performing works of Jewish composers banned by the Nazis.
