Rise Up Singing
Susan Winter has been hard at work. She has been commissioned by the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives to develop a show that would coincide with the current exhibit. The Center, located at Queensborough Community College, uses lessons from the Holocaust to educate current and future generations about the ramifications of unbridled prejudice and racism. Rise Up Singing is an eclectic program of inspiring songs from Broadway, Yiddish Theater, the folk world, movies and more about the universal struggle. Susan and her musical team, headed by in demand musical director, Alex Rybeck, have created a program to raise awareness that music, as political, social and cultural commentary, can also be used to enlighten and uplift. The show is directed by Barry Kleinbort and will be presented at the center on May 25, 2011. For more information, contact the Kupferberg Center at (718) 281-5770; Dr. Arthur Flug, Executive Director.
