Kabbalah, Paris, France, Mar 28, 2008
Kabbalah et toute l'équipe de la Meson vous présentent leurs meilleurs voeux pour cette année 2008…
Avant une série de dates parisiennes, Le groupe donne rendez vous au public marseillais ce week end :
Vendredi 28 Mars à 21h – Kabbalah – Centre Fleury Goutte d'or – Paris (18e)
Kabbalah propose un spectacle qui s’articule autour des nouvelles musiques juives et s’inspire de la tradition klezmer tout en intégrant des influences actuelles : rock , afro-américaine, orientale…
Depuis sa formation en 2004 à Marseille, les cinq membres de Kabbalah ont constitué un répertoire original qui sait mettre en valeur les orientations musicales et culturelles de chaque musicien (les échos des chants traditionnels hassidiques répondent aux spoken word et les climats obsessionnels évoquent la transe et le mysticisme) et leurs talents respectifs : une palette sonore d’une grande richesse musicale où la virtuosité est convoquée à chaque instant ; l’extraordinaire profusion d’instruments (saxophones, violon, contrebasse, xylophone, mandoluth, percussions…), de langues (anglais, yiddish, russe) chantées, parlées permet l’expression d’un style coloré propre à Kabbalah. Leur album « Shlomo » est une pure réussite et rarement métissage n’a été plus convaincant.

Vampire Suite CD release, Brooklyn, NYC, Mar 27, 2008
Vampire Suit is excited to announce the imminent release of 'A New Song', a follow up to 'Gaze at Your Omphalos', its debut release from 2004. In support of the new release, Vampire Suit will perform at Barbes, 376 9th St., Brooklyn on March 27th at 10:00 pm.
'A New Song' continues the concept that is at the heart of Vampire Suit's music—to forge musical materials from around the world into a new, unique whole—a new tradition for a generation that draws upon so many traditions—and to create music that taps into our collective unconscious, while being unmistakably new. The texture of the music defies definition, owing as much to Balkan and Middle Eastern rhythms, as it does to forms and harmonies of contemporary chamber music, with extended emotional improvising rooted in jazz and blues. The fire and spirit of folk dance music underlies everything, while the contemporary touches make the music a joy to the mind as it is to the body.
"The music has enduring beauty that touches on the heart of the Middle East's musical culture while exhibiting western flair. Open improvisations and the spirit of the belly dance coexist, encouraging the traditional undulated hip movements as a supplement to the solid instrumentation.… —Frank Rubolino Cadence Magazine
"If Bram Stoker's imaginary Transylvania had a jazz scene, the music might sound something like this." —Jazz Review

Launched in the 2005-2006 season, the Pocket Concertos Project has been one of Miller Theatre's most popular new innovations. Each year, a handful of world-class composers have been commissioned to write concertos for soloist and small orchestra, inspired by such examples as Gyorgy Ligeti's Piano Concerto and John Adams's Gnarly Buttons. The results have been spectacular. The past two years included such wonders as Julia Wolfe's transformative Accordion Concerto, Benedict Mason's circus-like Double Concerto for Bass and Tuba, Charles Wuorinen's adrenaline-filled violin concerto Spin 5, Sebastien Currier's witty and sonorous Piano Concerto, and Huang Ruo's heartbreaking cello concerto People Mountain People Sea. This year, in the final installment, Miller proudly presents three new world premieres: Laura Elise Schwendinger's violin concerto for Jennifer Koh; Ichizo Okashiro's piano concerto for Christopher Taylor; and a virtuoso showpiece by John Zorn for flutist Tara Helen O'Connor, with percussion and electronics.

Danny Sanderson, Newton, MA, Mar 24, 2008
One of the most popular performers and songwriters on the Israeli cultural scene, Danny Sanderson, along with his band will perform at the Leventhal-Sidman Jewish Community Center on Monday, March 24 at 8pm. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased by calling the JCC Box Office at 617-965-5226 or online at www.lsjcc.org The Leventhal-Sidman Jewish Community Center is located at 333 Nahanton Street in Newton.
Danny Sanderson is both a legendary and contemporary pop icon. He is a founding member of the band Kaveret, dubbed “the Beatles of Israel” and a top concert ticket-seller for over 25 years and through five reunions. Danny Sanderson also formed the groups Gazoz and Doda, both of which are considered among the cornerstones of Israeli rock music.
Sanderson was born in Kfar Blum in Israel, grew up in Haifa and Savion, and at the age of 10 moved with his family to the U.S., where he lived until he was 18. Sanderson was drawn to music early in life, and played in several rock bands, influenced mainly by mid-60s American pop and rock. At the age of 18 he was conscripted to the Israeli Defense Forces and played guitar with the Nachal military singing band. Sanderson was mainly noted at the time as a phenomenal guitar player, but soon also gained a reputation as a composer and arranger. In 1972, along with friends Alon Oleartchik, Efraim Shamir, Gidi Gov, Meir Feningstein and later Yoni Rechter and Yitzchak Klepter, Sanderson founded a band called Kaveret (“Beehive”). The original idea for the band, formulated by Oleartchik and Sanderson, was to create a pop rock operatic show, centered on the fictional figure “Poogy”, which Feningstein and Sanderson created. The operatic show failed to catch on, but when separated into individual songs the band became an instant hit in Israel, catapulting Kaveret into the position of the most successful pop-rock band in Israel then and since. Sanderson was the dominant force in Kaveret, writing the music and lyrics, filled with humor, to most of the songs, making him the leading songwriter of his generation. In 1976, after three albums and a short tour of the U.S., many of the band members were eager to embark on their own individual careers so Kaveret disbanded. However, the band has had several reunion tours, resulting in two more albums.
Danny Sanderson has enjoyed a successful solo recording career, resulting in 11 albums, most recently Congo Blue, a more somber album recorded in response to the death of his wife. He has produced several albums for other Israeli performers and has succeeded in other media, writing two more books and appearing on Israeli television as musician, comedian and host. Sanderson’s prolific and successful career has won him a prominent place in Israel’s cultural history.
This concert is presented in partnership with the Consulate General of Israel to New England.

Peretz. The groundbreaking score mixes Jewish music, jazz, classical, rock, and world beats with a dose of Kurt Weill and Tom Waits. A stellar group of international musicians come together to spin this magical tale of villagers who wrestle with ghosts in order to right a past wrong, in a fantastic journey to rediscover the meaning of faith.

Klezmatics, Rome, Italy, Jan 22, 2008
Grammy winners The Klezmatics
Martedì 22/01/2008
Teatro Studio, ore 21
Roma
Arrivano i Klezmatics con il loro ultimo album "Wonder Wheel" per cui hanno ottenuto il Grammy Award come Best Contemporary World Music Album.
I Klezmatics, giovani musicisti del Lower East Side di New York, hanno studiato l’idioma della tradizionale musica delle feste ebraiche dell’Est Europa e se ne sono impadroniti, apportandovi sensibilità contemporanee. Sono per gli appassionati il simbolo di quel klezmer che fonde le tradizioni askenazite con le influenze dell’avanguardia jazz più tipiche del nuovo continente. L’essenza è quella di una musica di festa, che celebra la natura estatica delle sonorità yiddish e crea sonorità di volta in volta riflessive, ballabili e liberatorie. I loro progetti annoverano collaborazioni così varie quanto creative: dal virtuoso del violino Itzhak Perlman alla cantante israeliana Chava Alberstein, dal poeta Allen Ginsberg all’attore Robin Williams, dagli artisti della scena downtown newyorkese Elliot Sharp, John Zorn e lo stesso Marc Ribot agli ex Led Zeppelin Robert Plant e Jimmy Page, ai membri del Flying Karamazov Brothers.

This is a joint concert with composer/performer Anthony Coleman; c)i will premiere a new work, as well works by Boyce, Kurtág and Kagel. The first half of the concert will feature Coleman and friends performing Kagel's rarely heard Der Schall, quite possibly a once in a life time opportunity.
