Svetlana Portnyansky
— A solo Jewish and international singer, Svetlana’s youthful style, sensational voice and personal charm made her one of the leading singers in her homeland of Russia and in recent years, has endeared her to audiences around the world. In 1996 she recorded the soundtrack for Steven Spielberg’s documentary “Survivors of Holocaust” at Capitol Records and in 2002 the soundtrack for Jeff Kanew’s film “Babij Jar.” Throughout her career, Svetlana has performed with internationally known stars such as Steve Allen, Lionel Hampton, Maximilian Schell, Roselin Kind, Lenny Kazan, Clare Berry, Debbie Friedman, Bruce Adler, Mike Burstein and Cantor Dudu Fisher among others. Today, Svetlana is one of the few singers that brings Jewish music, culture, and tradition to the whole international Jewish community. Svetlana’s songs reawaken the best of the Jewish spirit while creating a new bond between the Jewish communities of the world.

“She is a Sweet Svetlana, swaying and weaving silky songs of a dozen cultures in a dozen languages. Her swaying style and distinct musical interpretations are strictly Svetlana, and while she has not patterned herself after anyone, she seems to assume a dozen personalities, all showing off her uncommon beauty to advantage…” — Los Angeles Times
“Svetlana is a superb artist, at times commanding comparison to Streisand…” — Jewish News, Sydney, Australia
