"Klezmer: a timeless musical Journey..." is a culmination
of Yale Strom’s achievements, comprising his work into a
multi-media show with Klezmer music and the Klezmer
musicians as its theme. Intertwined with pieces of his
documentaries, Yale Strom’s band, Hot Pastrami, will play
songs from their original and traditional repertoire. And
renowned actor Avi Hoffman (“Too Jewish?—a Mensch and His
Musical”)2, will perform dramatic readings and monologues
based on Yale’s interviews to klezmorim from the past.
Played by musical stars or beggars, Klezmer music never
missed a chance to lift us up in the good times or carry us
through the bad, always filling with meaning the saddest of
our moments or the happiest of our weddings. Let us not
miss this opportunity. Let us join Yale Strom’s “KLEZMER: a
timeless musical journey…” in this once in a life time
presentation

will present their original score to "Pass the Gravy," enlivening our rediscovery of the agile and inspired silent comedian Max Davidson. Davidson was extremely popular in the late 1920s when he starred in a number of shorts at the Hal Roach Studios, playing the roles of Jewish tailors, pawnbrokers, and junk dealers. Nearly forgotten today, Davidson infused American slapstick with agile antics and a unique brand of Eastern European moxie. The original score, which combines early Yiddish swing, klezmer, vintage "photoplay" music, and popular melodies, may be the first Yiddish-themed work in the emerging trend of accompanying silent films.

Saturday, May 8, 9 pm, Hillel, Winnick Chapel, 80 Brown St., Providence
Free music, food, and dance!!!
Ithaca: On Saturday, May 8th, promptly at 10 pm (after Shabbat), the Carriage House Café will present an evening of Jewish instrumental Klezmer music and Hasidic song as a part of the 'Crossing Borders' multi-cultural radio concert series, soon to be aired regularly on WVBR. Featured artists include Joel Rubin (clarinet, musical direction), Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl -- Eastern European Jewish hammered dulcimer), Rabbi Eli Silberstein (song and story) and The Cornell Klezmer Ensemble. The concert will be in honor of the Jewish festival of Lag Ba'Omer, which begins at sundown on that day. Lag Ba'Omer marks the 33rd day of the seven-week partial mourning period between the holidays of Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot, and is only day during this period where weddings, dancing and public performances of music are allowed to take place according to traditional Judaism.
Joel Rubin is currently a Mellon Humanities Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Music Department at Cornell University. For over two decades he has been one of the leading figures in the klezmer movement as performer, scholar, author and educator. Rubin directs the internationally acclaimed Joel Rubin Jewish Music Ensemble, and was a founder of Brave Old World. He has documented the music of traditional musicians such as the Epstein Brothers, recipients of the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship from the NEA in 1998, and Moshe Berlin, Israel's most prominent klezmer clarinetist, performing together with them. Rubin studied with Richard Stoltzman and Kalmen Opperman and holds a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from City University (London).
Rubin is joined by Pete Rushefsky of Syracuse and Rabbi Eli Silberstein of Ithaca in a performance of Eastern European klezmer music and hasidic nigunim. Rushefsky is a leading revivalist of the tsimbl. Rabbi Silberstein has played an integral role in Ithaca's spiritual life for over two decades, and is an acknowledged expert on hasidic nigunim. Also featured on the program will be the newly formed Cornell Klezmer Ensemble under Rubin's direction. The ensemble, made up of Cornell students, staff and faculty, Ithaca College students, and other members of the Ithaca community, will be performing music representing the New York and Philadelphia klezmer traditions, drawing on repertoire as it was performed there during the 1910s and 1920s.
The performance begins promptly at 10 PM (after sunset) and will be recorded for a future broadcast of "Crossing Borders", a multi-cultural concert series that will begin airing weekly in June on 93.5FM, WVBR. The series will take place at the newly renovated Carriage House Café and will eventually be broadcast live. Denice Karamardian is the host of the series. Radio personality Aron Gutman will co-host for the Klezmer presentation.
The Carriage House Café will officially open for business in September of 2004. The mission of the Café is to promote multi-cultural exchange and awareness by providing hospitality and entertainment to the local and international community through cultural presentation of arts, music, cuisine and educational programming (often in collaboration with various community, corporate and university partners). The Carriage House Café is located at 304 Stewart Avenue, Ithaca.

Two Internationally known super-groups of klezmer: FleytMuzik and Shreiml! Both on the same night! A rare opportunity to hear both traditional and new klez at its very best!
The incredible flutist, Adrianne Greenbaum on vintage instruments, with monster tsimblist Pete Rushefsky, phenomenal fiddler, Lisa Gutkin and multi-talented bassist Paul Morrissett, begin the double bill with "FleytMuzik", the freshest, traditional klezmer currently rocking both the flute and klezmer scene! "[Adrianne's] flute playing is inspired. It rocks.This is the sort of playing that makes clear how much of a difference amazing musicianship makes." "FleytMuzik is fresh, marvelously joyous and soulful at once - it's everything the best klezmer music, and the best music per se, should be; music that not only the ears listen to but the heart as well, and music that delights both." www.klezmerflute.com
While firmly in touch with the roots of Klezmer music, Shtreiml performs an electric mix of the centuries old genre. The group features, Jason Rosenblatt on diatonic harmonica, the inimitable Josh Dolgin (aka SoCalled) on accordion, Philly's queen of the slide trombone, Rachel Lemisch, and batteur extraordianire Thierry Arsenault. Shtreiml showcases Jason Rosenblatt's unique ability to play chromatically on the 10-hole diatonic harmonica or "blues harp." Rosenblatt, a Howard Levy protege, bends, twists and coaxes all manner of Jewish-inflected sounds from the instrument most often associated with the blues. www.shtreiml.com
