Inter Alia, Boston, MA, Nov 29

I would like to invite everyone to a couple of performances by my
group Inter Alia.

Saturday, December 9th, 8 p.m. we perform "Reflections on Light:
Exploring the Intersections of Shadow, Projection and Perception" at
CasaNia, 46 Porter Rd. in Porter Square, Cambridge (www.casania.com)
Cost: $15 adults, $10 children and seniors.

Here is a bit of background on the group:
Inter Alia is an interdisciplinary improvisational performance
group. Our name is taken from the Latin: "inter" meaning "between"
or "among," "alia" meaning "others," "someone else," or "something
else." Each piece we perform is created in a completely
collaborative manner. We try, as musicians, dancers, visual artists
and performance artists, to open ourselves to the unique
vocabularies of each other's particular traditions, and to challenge
and be challenged by the borders between them. In the process, we
hope to create pieces which are innovative and thought-provoking
while remaining emotionally accessible and at times downright fun.
We are: Yael Bat-Shimon, violinist; Emily Beattie and Andrea
Cheatham, dancers; Joseph Darensbourg, vocalist; Mike Hall,
digital media artist; and Skye Schulte, painter. You can visit our
website at www.interalia.zoomshare.com.

Peri Smilow & Joshua Nelson + Jeff Klepper, Sharon, MA, Dec 9

On Saturday December 9th at 8 p.m., my synagogue, TEMPLE SINAI of SHARON, MA is hosting an End-of-year-balance-the-budget-get-ready-for- Chanukah-hunker-down-for-winter-heal-the-world-sing-your-guts-out- concert featuring two of my favorite singer/songwriters who are also treasured friends: PERI SMILOW, whose velvety, powerful and captivating voice and has brought thousands of people together in song and social action across the country; and JOSH NELSON, co- founder of Yom Hadash, now leader of his own group, The Josh Nelson Project, incredible singer and multi-instrumentalist, who is presently zooming upward into the top rank of Jewish contemporary musical artists. And, yes, JEFF KLEPPER, yours truly, is included at no extra charge, which is why we call this concert WHEN THREE STARS APPEAR. "Unplugged" might best describe the music, but with three voices, three guitars, piano, bass, mandolin and other surprises, who knows what might happen? The $36 general admission includes free finger-food before the show and a (cash) wine bar. A color flyer with pretty pictures and all the details is at our website:

www.temple-sinai.com/when_3_stars_appear/

Temple Sinai is about a half-hour south of Boston off Interstate 95, (just south of 128). There's directions at the website and lots of parking in back of the shul. Don't worry about it being sold out, if enough folks show up we'll just open the sanctuary wall a bit... Hope to see you there.
