Michigan and has returned for per-

Symphony Orchestra, adds his tal-

Working with the Berlin Radio
Orchestra, he conducted Joseph
Achron's Violin Concerto with Elmar
Oliveira on violin and Stefan Wolpe's
Man from Midian.
"These pieces represent very different
phases of Jewish music," Silverstein
says. "The concerto uses a cantorial

will be available in music stores and
on the Web. The dissemination of
the music is being encouraged with
concerts and events to help generate
awareness and appreciation.
