SUMMARY:The Music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston\, together with Rice University’s Boniuk Institute for Religious Tolerance and DACAMERA\, presents The Music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg\, a free performance by pianist and DACAMERA Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg with DACAMERA Young Artists.
