Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series Featuring Francine Klagsbrun, author of "Henrietta Szold: Hadassah and the Zionist Dream"
2024-09-30 12:30 - 13:30 | Zoom
Award-winning author Francine Klagsbrun reveals the complex life and work of Henrietta Szold, founder of Hadassah and a Zionist trailblazer. In her work with Hadassah, Szold used a combined ethical and pragmatic approach aimed at improving the lives of both Jews and Arabs. She later moved to Mandate Palestine to help shape education, health, and social services there. The pinnacle of her career came in her 70s, when she took on the task of directing the Youth Aliyah program, which rescued thousands of young people from the Nazis and resettled them in Palestine.
Using Szold’s copious letters, diaries, and essays, and more, Klagsbrun traces Szold’s life and legacy with an eye to uncovering the person behind the Zionist icon. She reveals Szold as a complex human being who had to cope with controversy and criticism, a workaholic with an outsized sense of duty, and an idealist who fought for her beliefs even as she questioned her own abilities.
Francine Klagsbrun is the author of numerous books, including the award-winning “Lioness: Golda Meir and the Nation of Israel.”

BSO Music Presents: Mozart & Schumann
2024-10-10 20:00 | The Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Ln, North Bethesda, MD, 20852, United States
Juanjo Mena, conductor
Lucas and Arthur Jussen, piano duo
FARRENC Overture No. 2
MOZART Concerto for Two Pianos in F, K. 242
SCHUMANN Symphony No. 4
Hailed as “intensely musical” (The Classical Review), Spanish-born conductor Juanjo Mena leads piano duo extraordinaire Lucas and Arthur Jussen in Mozart’s sunny Concerto for Two Pianos. The Dutch brothers bring to life a work Mozart originally composed for three pianos, but later re-arranged into an even more virtuosic showcase of Classical elegance and poise. Schumann agonized over the revisions for his second symphony for so long that it eventually became numbered as Symphony No. 4 — a brooding and passionate work that was well worth the wait.
