A A Lecturer —
Musician Weiner
“There is little doubt that had
Weiner’s songs . . . been written
to texts other than Yiddish, say,
French or German h° would to
day surely havej
have been reck
oned among oui
finest contemp
orary art—song-j
writers—and far
more deserving
of -esteem anc
approbation than
most of our wel'
adverised native
talents.”
The above if
the comment o
a music criti 1
about the talents L,uzar Weiner
of Lazar Weiner, who will be
guest lecturer at Ahavath Achim
Synagogue at 9:00 p. m., Monday,
Feb. 10. Mr. Weiner has served
to highlight two different streams
of American Jewish musical ac
tivity — liturgical and secular —
and in these he has made lasting
contributions a^eomposer, teach
er, pianist, conductor and choral
director.
As a composer, Weiner has con
tributed some two hundred varied
works. His Yiddish songs and his
liturgical works are among the
most valuable possessions of Jew
ish culture. He has also been a
most valuable composer for the
synagogue and has contributed
pure instrumental works for
piano, violin, cello and orchestral
ensembles. His latest cantata
based on a story by I. L. Perettz
“The Last Judgment” was high
ly acclaimed throughout the
country. It was televised on CBS
on Lamp Unto My Feet program.
Combining a passion for authen
ticity with an instinct for con
temporary invention, Weiner has
fashioned an art work in which
the old and the new, the sacred
and the secular, exist in remark
able balance. The music of Lazar
Weiner spans very nearly a half
century of creative activity.
The public is cordially invited
to attend this lecture.
