Songs For Her Shanghailander Grandmother
Heather Klein was moved to create and sing a one-woman operatic program to honor her grandmother Rosa Ginsberg who escaped Nazi persecution, lived a challenging life in Shanghai, and was detained at Angel Island upon coming to America. Rosa was finally able to settle in New York. Backed by accompanist Joshua Horowitz, Heather shared her songs at a Shanghailander event at Congregation B’Nai Emunah.
