ON JULY 11, approximately 60 people enjoyed Newport Classical Day. The daylong event culminated with an evening classical music concert by world-famous Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled.

The day started at Temple Shalom in Middletown with a talk “Journeys with My Jewishness,” which included entertaining personal stories interspersed with select pieces of Jewish music, including “Kol Nidre” and the well-known musical score from “Schindler's List.” There was time afterward for lunch and an optional tour of Touro Synagogue before the evening concert at the Newport Art Museum, where Peled played a selection of American classical pieces, accompanied by a pianist. The day ended at Stoneacre Brasserie with cocktails and appetizers sponsored by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.
