Wisnias in Concert

09.13.19

Music is the through-line of my grandfather’s life. Music made him famous as a child singing in Warsaw. Music saved his life as a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camps. Music helped him establish roots and community in the United States. Music is the story, the pain and joy wrapped in tradition and memory, that he has passed along to me.

Come hear his story in music, with a concert event that we will perform together, including a song he composed while a prisoner in Auschwitz that I translated into English.

Thursday Sept 19 at Wissahickon Valley Public Library
free, and open to the public
seating is limited, reservations recommended to attend

from the gilroy garlic festival

07.29.19

my friends, i want to reach out to you after so many of you have reached out to me after the horrible mass shooting event that occurred at the Gilroy Garlic Festival on Sunday. i want to assure you i am ok, i performed earlier in the festival and was not there when the shooting happened. thank you all for your messages, for your posts, and for your concern. while i am ok, many are not. i am sad, horrified and angry as more news comes in about what happened. i have played the garlic festival for 7 years. i know it is a source of pride for the community, a tourist destination for people around the world, and just a fun and happy event. i hate that this happened. another mass shooting. we should not have to live in fear of going to a food festival, a concert, a movie. we don’t have to live like this. we really don’t.

if you would like to help those in the community, you can donate to the Gilroy Garlic Festival Victims Relief Fund, organized by the Gilroy Foundation.
