Another Realm w/Hankus Netsky, Waltham, MA, Sep 30, 2007
Another Realm, featuring Hankus Netsky and Linda Chase at Temple Beth Israel in Waltham on Sunday, September 30th.
On Sunday, September 30th at 7 PM, Temple Beth Israel Coffeehouse will present Another Realm, a jazz, world music, and improvisation ensemble featuring four of the Boston area’s most adventurous and creative musicians. The group consists of pianist and reed player Hankus Netsky, flutist/composer Linda Chase, bassist Chris Rathbun, and percussionist Tupac Mantilla. Together, they explore a repertoire that includes pieces from South American, Eastern European, Asian, and Jewish traditions, jazz standards, music of romantic and impressionist European composers, poetry-based improvisations, and original songs and compositions.
Hankus Netsky is an instructor in jazz, contemporary improvisation, and Jewish music at the New England Conservatory in Boston, Vice President for Education at the National Yiddish Book Center, and founder and director of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, an internationally renowned Yiddish music ensemble. "Another Realm" gives Netsky a chance to go beyond the traditional klezmer music he is best known for and explore a variety of improvisational genres.
Linda Chase teaches composition, arranging, world music, jazz and improvisation at Berklee College of Music. She is the recent winner of the Kaji Aso Studio's "Tanabata" Composition Prize, the recipient of a Berklee faculty composition grant, has composed for the American Repertory Theatre Institute in Cambridge, and is a featured performer in concerts and at clubs throughout the Boston area. Tupac Mantilla is a native of Colombia, where he is well known for his percussion work in both traditional, and contemporary music. Bassist Chris Rathbun has performed with "Papa" Jo Jones, Tiny Grimes, Terry Lynn Carrington, Sir Charles Thompson, Herb Pomeroy, The Artie Shaw Orchestra, and numerous other artists.
Temple Beth Israel (www.tbiwaltham.org) is located at 25 Harvard Street, a block from Main St. in Waltham (on the 70 Bus line from Central Square, Cambridge). Tickets are $15 ($12 for Temple Beth Israel Members and students). For more information, call 781-893-5734.

song
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 10PM
Angel Orensanz Foundation - www.orensanz.org
172 Norfolk Street (bet. Houston and Stanton), LES
FREE ADMISSION--OPEN BAR!
Be still and you will hear it--the rumble of the snare drum and the
high pitched cackle of the double-reed shawm...
Planning to attend? Let us know. RSVP at newyork.going.com/swaymachinery
On September 12, 2007 The Sway Machinery will unveil its most ambitious project to date: Hidden Melodies Revealed. Taking place on the night of Rosh HaShana, the Jewish lunar new year, and falling at the intersection of storytelling, theater and mass hysteria, this event will bring the band's blistering live show to a new level. Taking the traditional New Year ritual music as jumping off point, Hidden Melodies Reveled will showcase the band's powerful ability to transform the ancient arts into an experience that is living, joyful and transformative. A companion EP featuring music from the concert will also be released on September 12. Not to be missed!
To add to the festivities, we are happy to inform the public that there will be an open bar from 9:45 until 11PM on the night of the performance, courtesy of the Moet Hennesy Company. The bar will be offering Ardbeg "the Ultimate Single Islay Malt Scotch Whiskey" and Greenpoint Chardonnay and Cabernet Shiraz from Australia. Greenpoint, founded by Moet and Chandon, is a high quality cool climate wine that is committed to ecologically friendly wine making practices.
Planning to attend? Let us know. RSVP at newyork.going.com/swaymachinery
Employing music, storytelling and the debut of an animated film (directed by Guggenheim Fellow Shawn Atkins using puppets designed by Paul Andrejco and created especially for this event), Hidden Melodies Revealed will be a visceral feast. This event takes as its goal the creation of an emotional state in which the musical folklore of the New Year liturgy can be absorbed by a modern audience. We are excited to invite you to be a part of this experimentation!
For this special event, the band will feature both special guest, drummer Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and founding member, percusionist Tomer Tzur, tag teaming on drums and percussion. Our usual team, Jeremiah Lockwood (Balkan Beat Box) on guitar and voice, Colin Stetson (Tom Waits, Arcade Fire) on bass saxophone, and the inimitable tenor sax and trumpet combo of Stuart Bogie and Jordan McLean (Antibalas), will be presiding.
In the spirit of the holiday, there will be no charge for admission however, we will be accepting donations and offering copied of our new EP for sale. We sincerely look forward to seeing you there!
Be still and you will hear it--the rumble of the snare drum and the high pitched cackle of the double-reed shawm. The marching musicians are coming through the ruined gates of the city and the singer of epic tales is rising from the half darkness in which he reposes. The singer will no longer be silent. He will tell us those stories that spur us onward, away from the ruins of the city, away from the half-rotten corpses that we call a life and he will drive us forth into the desert. There, in the midst of the plateau that spreads like a veil over all of the world, you will loose yourself and come to know joy.
Hidden Melodies Revealed is supported by The Six Points Fellowship for Emerging Jewish Artists, a partnership of Avoda Arts, JDub Records, and the Foundation for Jewish Culture, and is made possible with major funding from UJA-Federation of New York.

Sunday, September 9
Soviet Yiddish Writers Memorial Program
Workmen's Circle building, 1762 Beacon St., Brookline, MA
2:00pm – 4:00pm
The Yiddish committee invites you to join us as we commemorate the 55th anniversary of Stalin’s murderous assault on Yiddish culture in the Soviet Union. We will read from the works of a number of leading Yiddish writers who were arrested, tried secretly on trumped-up charges of treason and finally executed by firing squad on August 12, 1952. Most readings will be in Yiddish but wherever possible, we will provide English and Russian translations. The musical portion of the program will feature klezmer clarinetist, Dena Ressler.
The musical portion also includes Elka (Ellie) Kelman, Yiddish instructor at Brandeis, who is in possession of a fine voice, singing songs of Kulbak and Izi Kharik. Ressler will deliver a short bio of the latter (af yidish with English translation) and try to read a couple of his poems. And she will play.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SHORASHIM (INCLUDING DETAILS FOR THOSE COMING
FROM OUT OF TOWN) & SOME NEW THINGS FOR THIS YEAR
* On the opening Friday night, Seadia Amishai will conduct a Yemenite
Kabalat Shabbat which he is known for at the popular Kibbutz Ginegar
end-of-month Oneg Shabbat dance session (also on August 31).
* To kick off the 20th anniversary year of our Rikuday Dor Rishon dance
session, we will honor the early choreographers of Israeli folk dancing
who are no longer with us. Ayalah Goren, who knew all of them personally,
will give three special workshops teaching some of their best dances.
* Shorashim continues the tradition of providing the best teachers
at an affordable cost. Regular rates per session are the same as last
year. By popular request, we are offering a special reduced rate for the
whole weekend of only $130.
* You can pick and choose the workshop(s) and party/marathon nights that
are appropriate for you, which can result in a considerable savings. Make
your plans based on the preliminary schedule listed above.
* Much of the day is free, with workshops by our guest teachers scheduled
in mid-afternoon, so you can sleep late or take advantage of the numerous
attractions in New York City during part of the day.
* All registration is on-site and there is no formal pre-registration.
However, reservations for those coming from out-of-town will be accepted.
Since space may be limited, entry will be on a first come-first serve
basis and latecomers will be admitted as space permits to each event.
* As a courtesy to visitors to New York City attending Shorashim, a list
of reasonably priced hostels and hotels within walking distance of Bridge
for Dance will be provided, if requested.
* A video will also be available of all the dances taught at the weekend
from Ben Hole (who also has videos of previous Shorashim weekends).
