The Musicorda Road Company performs music by Jewish composers in two concerts as part of the 17th annual Musicorda Summer Festival, which runs through August 5. The first concert features a performance of movements from Osvaldo Golijov’s “Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind” for string quartet and klezmer clarinet. The second performance includes Mendelssohn’s Trio No. 2 in C Minor. The company, a group of young artists from the Musicorda Chamber Music Institute, travels by van to area communities, performing at hospitals, libraries, museums, churches, synagogues and parks.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
