Selma Hausman, Emma Schaver and Sarah Lev enjoyed the concert.

become gorgeous after a lot of
hard work."
Rena was still in high
school when she first met
Richard Panush. She attend-
ed a Camp Ramah summer
seminar in Israel. Her room-
mate was Richard's sister.
Richard was attending the
University of Michigan, and
they began dating after Rena
started her freshman year
there. She received her
bachelor of arts degree, cum
laude, as Mrs. Richard
Panush.
During college, Panush ma-
jored in physiological psy-
chology and virtually gave up
singing. "I thought that when
you went to college you were
supposed to do something
serious," she said. "But even-
tually I went back to singing,
because it was something I
just couldn't give up."
After graduating, the
Panushes moved frequently.
Richard's career as a physi-
cian specializing in
rheumatology took them to
Durham, N.C.; Cambridge,
Mass.; Monterey, Calif.;
Denver, Colo. and Gainesville,
Fla., where they remained for
15 years before moving to the
New York area last year.
They were busy years for
Rena, who raised three
children, taught Hebrew
school almost everywhere
they lived, and received her
Master of Fine Arts degree
from the University of
Florida.
Although she continued to
sing in local groups and con-
certs, caring for her family
took precedence over pursu-
ing a professional singing
career, at least for a while.
Then she won a scholarship
from the Civic Opera of the
Palm Beaches, which placed
her in a summer musical
theater workshop.
"That experience really
whet my appetite for perfor-
ming on a professional level,"
she said.
She began attending opera
workshops every summer,
playing several lead roles in
the Oglebay (West Virginia)
Music Festival and giving

concerts throughout Florida.
Before long, she was com-
muting frequently to New
York City for voice lessons
and auditions. In 1987, she
made her New York debut at
Town Hall, in a performance
that was later repeated at the
Newport (Rhode Island)
Festival.
"It was clear that nothing
more could happen to me pro-
fessionally sitting in
Gainesville," she said. "I real-
ly needed to be in New York."
Rena's aspirations coincided
with a career opportunity for
Richard, and, once again, the
Panush fmaily moved.
Rena's career quickly gain-
ed momentum. Last April,
she made her Carnegie Hall
debut in a concert with the
Manhattan Philharmonic.
When asked why she chose
opera as opposed to another
type of singing, Panush
laughs. "I actually hated
opera as a kid. My father
would listen to it, and I'd
wonder what all those people
were screaming about. But
it's really the ultimate kind of
singing - it involves the
whole body and stretches the
voice to its limits."
Panush feels that many peo-
ple dislike opera because they
don't understand it. She is
adamant about making
translations available to au-
diences. She brought her own
translations, 250 copies, to
her recent Oak Park concert.
Panush says Yiddish
theater and singing are cur-
rently undergoing a "mini-
renaissance" in the New York
area. She has performed
several classical/Yiddish con-
certs for seniors, which she
greatly enjoys.

"The senior citizens are so
receptive, and often they're
more culturally educated
than younger audiences,"
Panush said.
At the JPM performance,
Panush was accompanied by
New York pianist Douglas
Stanton, who is a conductor
for the New York City Opera
and a pianist with the Metro-
politan Opera Company.
Together they performed
