Sidney Krum Young Artists Concert Series | Co-sponsored by the American Society for Jewish Music, with additional support from Stephen Denio Baker

Leo Zeitlin (1884–1930) was a composer, violinist, violist, and conductor born in Pinsk who specialized in classical works infused with Jewish themes. Best known for his Eli Zion for cello and orchestra, Zeitlin was an active member of the St. Petersburg Society for Jewish Folk Music and spent formative years teaching and conducting in Ekaterinoslav and Vilna before emigrating to New York, where he worked as an arranger and violist for the Capitol Theatre.

After his death, Zeitlin’s music fell into obscurity until cellist and musicologist Paula Eisenstein Baker (1939–2024) began studying and championing his work in the late 1980s. Eisenstein Baker’s publications in YIVO Annual and other journals, as well as her critical edition of Zeitlin’s complete chamber music for A-R Editions, were instrumental in reviving his legacy. This concert celebrates Eisenstein Baker’s scholarship and the recent donation of her archival collection to YIVO.

Performances by Julian Schwarz (cello), Marika Bournaki (piano), Peter Sirotin and Daniel Kurganov (violins), Colin Brookes (viola), and Ori Marcu (mezzo-soprano) will feature a variety of chamber and vocal music by Zeitlin, alongside works by composers with whom he was in dialogue, including Joseph Achron, Alexander Krein, Joachim Stutschewsky, Mikhail Gnesin, Lazare Saminsky, Joel Engel, Alexander Zhitomirsky, and Michael Lewin.
