string instruments developed."
A graduate of Philadelphia's Curtis
Institute of Music, Rosen began play-
ing the cello when she was 9 years
old.
"I had tried out the violin and
viola but when I went to join my
school orchestra, they didn't need
either of those instruments. So I
played the cello instead!"
It was an instant success, and, by
the time she began attending
Interlochen Music Camp in the sum-
mer of 1969, she knew she'd become
a professional cellist.
Rosen has performed in recital
and with orchestras throughout the
world and in all 50 of the United
States. A founding member of the
world-renowned Mendelssohn String
Quartet, she has taught at Harvard
University, the North Carolina School
of the Arts, the Eastman School of
•
Music, the New England
Conservatory and the University of
Delaware. She now lives New York,
where she's on the faculty at both the
Mannes College of Music and Queens
College.
Immediately before coming to
metro Detroit, Rosen and the
Mendelssohn Quartet will perform in
Philadelphia and Reading, Pa. The
gfoup's program, titled "Night Music:'
includes works by contemporary
composers Dutillieux, Ligeti and
Schoenberg. In addition, she'll pres-
ent a recital with her colleagues at
Queens College of chamber music by
Schumann, Beethoven and Mozart.
And, she said, she'll be "avidly
practicing the Dvorak!' 1-1

A scene from What a Wonderful
Place
Israeli Entry
In the ironically titled What a
Wonderful Place, the focus is on
the mistreatment of foreign work-
ers, which is a real-enough Israeli
problem. .
But what we get from director
Eyal Halfon is a lineup of Israelis
who pimp and rape imported
Russian prostitutes, beat their for-
eign farm workers, cheat on their
spouses, humiliate their children
and commit suicide.
Oddly enough, the Israeli film
industry submits Wonderful Place
and similar downers even while
the overall level of Israeli movies
(Walk on Water and Yossi & Jagger
spring to mind) has steadily
improved.
And, ironically, the similarly
improved Palestinian movies,
while wasting no love on the occu-
pation, manage to present most
Israelis as recognizable human
beings.
One can surely admire Israeli
filmmakers for unsparingly criti-
cizing their society's shortcom-
ings. Similarly, the disinclination
of Israelis -to celebrate their mili-
tary triumphs on film, even after
the 1967 victory, is admirable.
But somebody needs to tell the
Israeli Academy that judges on the
Oscar selection committees, par- .
ticularly Jewish ones, may resent
heavy-handed portrayals of all
Israeli Jews as cheats, brutalizers
•
and all-around low-lives.
Little wonder that the last
Israeli film to be Oscar nominated
was back in 1984 and that none
has ever walked off with the gold-
en statuette.
Also of interest is Chile's entry,
Play, directed by young Jewish
filmmaker Alicia Scherson. It is
described as presenting "the social
fabric of the capital city, Santiago,
through a collision of oddball
characters." I 1
