Gabriel Bolkosky,
Professor Zvi Gitelman

Zvi Gitelman studies ethnicity and politics, especially in former Communist countries, as well as Israeli politics, East European politics, and Jewish political thought and behavior. His most recent book is Jewish Identities in Postcommunist Russia and Ukraine: An Uncertain Ethnicity. It draws on two large surveys at the beginning and end of the 1990s that he conducted with two colleagues in Russia. Professor Gitelman’s current project is on ethnic relations in the Soviet armed forces during the war and Soviet policy regarding the Holocaust. It is based on hundreds of oral testimonies of Soviet Jewish veterans of World War Two, and on Soviet archives.

Michele Cooker and Gabriel Bolkosky

Expressiveness, elegance and "virtuosity with abandon" are the hallmarks of violinist Gabriel Bolkosky.
Born and raised in Detroit, Bolkosky was 3 when he began studying violin. Today, he serves as guest artist-in-residence at the University of Michigan, from which he holds a bachelor's degree in music and two master's degrees, one in chamber music, one in improvisation. He also has a professional studies degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM), where he was a teaching assistant. Bolkosky has appeared in international music festivals from Mexico to Singapore, and in 2008 he made his debut at Carnegie Hall with the innovative music ensemble Opus 21. He is the winner of the CIM’s Darius Milhaud Performance Prize.
