The concert is sponsored by the Jewish Temple, the Bindursky-Fuhrer Concert Fund and the Rapides Parish Library.  It is free and open to the public.  A reception will follow.  Don’t expect a stuffy piano concert.  Tal Zilber is young and innovative and you will be very entertained.  So, come enjoy a Sunday afternoon of great music, warm company and refreshments.  For information, please call the Jewish Temple at (318) 445-3655.
