"Here was a person whose life in the 20th century encompassed and reflected some of the greatest
and worst moments, tragedies and triumphs of the human soul... and yet she continued...
to be true to her beliefs and to continue to create art. If this isn't a lesson about the power of the arts,
I don't know what is." (-Babette Inglehart)

ISA KREMER's life was marked by a fierce talent, independent mind and firm determination.
Her passion was Yiddish music - birthed in the kitchens in Russia.
The language of the lullabies mothers sang to their children. Isa was the first woman to bring
Yiddish songs to the world concert stage, and an incredible singer in 24 languages.
The documentary chronicles her life through footage, photos, and interviews with those who knew her.
Isa: The People's Diva profiles her remarkable career through five decades of turbulent world history
in a remarkable number of cities including Belz, Odessa, Constantinople, Berlin and Paris

Don't miss this film, produced by Lois Barr and WMG's Maya Friedler.

We have news!

Hello you loyal readers. I have some very exciting news:

Tomorrow night begins the WMG Film Series! This has been a long time coming, and this particular movie (Into The Fire, about the Spanish Civil War) is especially exciting because it features the beautiful voice of WMG's very own Jamie O'Reilly. And the event concludes with a talk-back with the film's director, Julia Newman.

Here's the rest of the information - make sure to get out to Facets tomorrow night!

"I went to Spain and I became a member of the human race.

I met some of the best people I ever knew." - Dorothy Parker
