Jona Rapoport to Represent Celebrated American Composer Lori Laitman
“It is difficult to think of anyone before the public today who equals her exceptional gifts for embracing a poetic text and giving it new and deeper life through music.” (Journal of Singing, 2007)
Canadian artist manager and publicist Jona Rapoport will be representing American composer Lori Laitman worldwide. Ms Rapoport has managed the career of several classical vocalists in the past, and is currently the producer and host of the radio program “Art & Fine Living with Jona” on CJRS 1650 in
Montreal. She is listed in the international directory of Musical America.
Lori Laitman is one of America’s most prolific and widely performed composers of art song. She has composed nearly 200 songs, setting the words of classical and contemporary poets to music, among them the lost voices of poets who perished in the Holocaust. The composer’s first opera, “Come to Me in Dreams” premiered by Cleveland Opera in 2005, and her upcoming opera, based on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter”, to libretto by poet David Mason, will premiere at The University of Central Arkansas in the fall of 2008.
Laitman’s songs have been released on Albany Records, Naxos, Channel Classics and others, showcasing the talents of some of today’s top musicians. Among the many artists are: vocalists Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Jennifer Check, Patricia Green, Sari Gruber, William Sharp and Randall Scarlata; pianist Warren Jones; bassist Gary Karr; cellists Thomas Kraines and Marcy Rosen; saxophonist Gary Louie and violinist Juliette Kang. In a review of her latest compilation, “Becoming a Redwood”, the prestigious Gramophone Magazine remarked: “An extraordinarily impressive achievement… [which indicates] increasing evidence of a major talent. Lori Laitman’s beautiful, sensitively crafted songs deserve to be performed widely”. A review of her 2000 release, “Mystery – The Songs of Lori Laitman” by Opera News says: “Composer Lori Laitman knows how to let the voice soar and explore…spinning lyrical neo-romantic vocal lines over shifting post-modern sonorities”.
A Journal of Singing review of her 2003 album, “Dreaming”,posits her firmly alongside another legendary composer: “This is a stunning collection of widely varied songs by one of the finest art song composers on the scene today…Lori Laitman deservedly stands shoulder to shoulder with Ned Rorem for her uncommon sensitivity to text, her loving attention to the human voice and its capabilities, and her extraordinary palette of musical colors and gestures”.
Lori Laitman graduated magna cum laude from Yale College and received her Master of Music degree in flute performance from The Yale School of Music. Her recordings are available on her website, www.artsongs.com, as well as Amazon and ITunes.
Sheet music can be ordered from Classical Vocal Reprints (1-800-298-7474), www.classicalvocalrep.com.

Film and television producer Itzik Kol, 75, died yesterday morning in Kfar Sava’s Meir Hospital of complications from pneumonia. Kol, one of the most prominent film and television producers in Israel from the 1970s to the 1990s, was involved in making leading films. His funeral will take place at 7 P.M. this evening at the Yarkon Cemetery.
Kol was born in Petah Tikva in 1932. He joined the film industry in 1960, when director Baruch Dienar invited him to work with him on “Hem Hayu Asara” (”They Were Ten”). He switched to theater later, serving for several years as director general of Tel Aviv’s Cameri Theater.
In the late 1960s, Margot Klausner hired Kol to head Herzliya Studios. Klausner dreamed of creating a “Hollywood of the Middle East” in Israel, and Kol was charged with making the dream come true.
Several of the most prominent Israeli films from the 1970s were made under his stewardship of the studio. These included “Hashoter Azulai” (”The Policeman”), directed by Ephraim Kishon and nominated for an Oscar in the best foreign film category; “Metzitzim” (”Peeping Toms”); “Einayim Gedolot” (”Big Eyes”); “Hatzilu Et Hamatzil” (”Save the Lifeguard”), directed by Uri Zohar; and Avi Nesher’s “The Troupe.”

New Radio Show Draws Accolades by jona rapoport on February 23rd, 2008 Art & Fine Living with Jona is the brilliant initiative of producer/host Jona Rapoport on Radio Shalom in Montreal.
The almost unbearably moving story of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, I Have Never Forgotten You takes us from his shtetl childhood to his 90th birthday party at Vienna’s Hotel Imperial, where Hitler once kept a suite. (”Now he is dead,” Wiesenthal tells the camera joy-fully, “and we are still dancing and singing.”) In between, director Richard Trank (The Long Way Home) gives us a spare, unblinking portrayal of the Holocaust, in which Wiesenthal lost his mother and 88 other relatives; after- ward, feeling purposeless, he devoted the rest of his days to nosing out Nazis across the globe, from Eichmann in Argentina to Hermine Braun-steiner in Queens. Wiesenthal’s motive, he always insisted, was not revenge but justice. Celebrity narration (by Nicole Kidman) and deft filmmaking necessarily take a backseat here to the anger, grief, and incongruous good humor of the man himself.
