Maya Pennington’s concert at the Lithuanian Jewish Community August 4 drew a large crowd.

Maya spoke about her Litvak roots, her tender feelings for Vilnius which she is visiting for the second time to study Yiddish and her love of music.

Maya said music is the best international language.

The musician currently lives in Tel Aviv.

She performed tributes to George Gerschwin, Joni Mitchel, Nina Simone, Nirvana and a host of other legendary US and Israeli performers at the Community.
