Do you know who the first Jewish musician in Augusta’s symphony orchestra was?
The first Jewish musician in the city’s original symphony was Abe Schneider, followed by many others. Abe and his wife Anne ran a wonderful music store as did Jake and Betty Roseman – Jay’s Music, now run by daughter Vera and Doug Frohman. The outstanding ongoing involvement of Jewish Augustans in the performing arts has included: classical music, jazz and pop, dance instruction and performance, theater groups and dinner theaters as well as children’s theater.
