Avi Wisnia is an award-winning composer, singer, performer, and educator, finding inspiration in Brazilian bossa nova, acoustic American folk, 1950’s west-coast jazz, and contemporary pop. Avi tours in support of his latest album, “Catching Leaves,” performing in prestigious venues around the world – from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City to The Kennedy Center in Washington DC to concerts in Poland, Japan, and Brazil.
Stay after the concert for a screening of the documentary “How Saba Kept Singing”.
“How Saba Kept Singing” reveals a touching firsthand account of Holocaust survivor Cantor David Wisnia’s past as he travels with his grandson Avi to Poland to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau’s liberation. The story is also brought to life through dynamic animation and David and Avi Wisnia’s music.
