  • Fanny Mendelssohn: A Trailblazing Composer in the Shadow of Society

    JCC of Syracuse 5655 Thompson Road, DeWitt, United States

    Fanny Mendelssohn was a gifted pianist and composer whose brilliance often had to contend with the societal constraints of the 19th century. While her brother Felix Mendelssohn gained widespread acclaim for his innovative compositions, Fanny’s remarkable talents and contributions to classical music remained overshadowed by the norms of her time. German historian Anette Isaacs delves into the life and legacy of Fanny Mendelssohn, exploring her groundbreaking journey, her struggles for recognition, and the cultural and Jewish heritage of the Mendelssohn family that shaped their enduring impact on the world of music. This live lecture will be Zoomed into the JCC. Presented by Anette Isaacs, M.A.
