WEINER, LAZAR (1897–1982), composer and conductor. Born at Cherkassy, near Kiev, Weiner immigrated to the United States at the age of 17. He settled in New York, where he conducted choral societies and the Mendelssohn Symphony Orchestra of Brooklyn.

His son, YEHUDI (1921– ), was also known as a composer. Weiner's musical score to a Yiddish play, Generations of Green Fields, played by the Folksbiene, was produced in 1974 and was widely acclaimed.
