42 Films, Carl Reiner and More Featured at The Westchester Jewish Film Festival Beginning April 2 and running through April 17, the Westchester Jewish Film Festival at Jacob Burns Film Center features movies and TV episodes from around the world that explore the Jewish experience through a mix of narrative, documentaries and hit Israeli series. The festival opens with two simultaneous screenings: the New York premiere of the documentary thriller You Only Die Twice by Israeli filmmaker Yair Lev and the first four episodes of award-winning comedy series The New Black (Shababniks). A reception follows. A six-film tribute to Carl Reiner includes The Jerk, The Man With Two Brains and Oh, God! On April 6, following a screening of Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, the legendary director (and Bronx native) joins the audience for a Q&A live via Skype. Interviews made in the 1970s with women who survived the Holocaust are featured in Shoah: Four Sisters, a satellite movie to the late Claude Lanzmann’s 1985 masterpiece. Tovah Feldshuh’s role as the titular subject of the bio-drama Golda’s Balcony written by William Gibson was the longest-running one-woman show in Broadway history. Contemporary audiences who missed the run have a chance to see it in the festival's centerpiece: Golda’s Balcony, the Film. Throughout her life, Golda Meir is seemingly at the center of every major event of the Jewish people in the 20th century: the pogroms in Russia, emigration to America, Zionist fundraising, Israeli service, the Holocaust and the founding of Israel.

Piano Duo Joel A. Martin and George Lopez Fuse Classical Music With Jazz Improv The Sanctuary Series continues its spring season with a concert by the Sonicals Piano Duo at the South Salem Presbyterian Church on April 7. Formed by musicians George Lopez and Joel A. Martin, the pair interweaves solo classical piano music with jazz improvisation to create a new genre of music for two pianos. Lopez and Martin are faculty members of Sonata Piano Camps in Vermont, where they met three years ago, and began performing impromptu concerts with two pianos, but without duo music. The artists have since performed improvised solo classical piano music, remaining true to the melody and overall structure, but reinventing it into a collaborative experience. Lopez, who is currently artist-in-residence at Bowdoin College in Maine, has performed internationally as a soloist with various ensembles and orchestras, including the award-winning Emerson String Quartet. Martin’s robust career, which spans more than 40 years, includes solo performances with the New York Philharmonic and collaborations with Grammy Award-winners Kathleen Battle, Fergie, Brooklyn Youth Chorus and cellist Eugene Friesen of the Paul Winter Consort. He also created "Jazzical” – a fusion of classical and jazz. The April 7 program will include: Rachmaninoff’s Études-Tableaux; Bach’s Italian Concerto BWV 971; a selection of Chopin’s Preludes and Carnaval Sonicals, which is adapted from Schumann’s piano cycle Carnaval, Op. 9.
