This week on Wednesdays at 8 with Lisa, I'm honored to have the presence of Tine Kindermann and Frank London, an accomplished and incredibly artistic couple. I am excited to chat about and experience some of their art that has come out of this turbulent time.

Tine Kindermann is a visual artist and musician from Berlin, Germany, who has been living and working in New York City since 1993. A figurative artist working in various media, her work, which includes miniature tableaux and dioramas, video, sculpture and painting, has been shown at Stephen Romano Gallery, the Governors Island Art Fair, RePop, Mark Miller Gallery and other galleries in New York City, as well as Neurotitan Gallery and Gallery Kurt im Hirsch in Berlin. Together with Deborah Ugoretz, Tine curates exhibitions for Yiddish New York, an annual cultural festival in NYC.

Sir Frank London is a Grammy-award winning trumpeter and composer. A member of the Klezmatics, he has played trumpet with Lester Bowie, David Byrne, Pink Floyd, They Might Be Giants, LL Cool J, Hector LaVoe, Karen O, Itzhak Perlman, Jane Siberry, Mel Tormé, LaMonte Young, John Zorn and is on over 500 CDs.

His compositions include the Yiddish-Cuban opera Hatuey Memory of Fire (with Elise Thoron), Salomé: Woman of Valor (with Adeena Karasick), the folk-opera A Night In The Old Marketplace (with Alex Aron and Glen Berger), Green Violin (with Elise Thoron & Rebecca Taichman), 1001 Voices: Symphony for a New America (with Judith Sloan & Warren Lehrer), and Tony Kushner’s A Dybbuk. In 2019 he’ll premiere Ghetto Songs at Hamburg’s Elbephilharmonie; From Shtetl to Stage at Carnegie Hall, and Kurt Weill in New York in Dessau. London was knighted by Hungary for his work advancing Jewish and multicultural Hungarian music and culture.
