Last year, the JPPC's repertoire was devoted to Yiddish music about America. This year's concert takes you across the ocean, featuring old and new Yiddish songs about Paris, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere, including these songs:

Beltz (in Moldavia)
Rumeynye (Romania)
Varshe (Warsaw)
Vilne (Vilnius)
and
Ba di taykhn fun Bovl (By the Waters of Babylon)

And musical settings of works by I.L. Peretz, the Father of Yiddish Literature:

The cantata Oyb nisht nokh hekher (If Not Higher Still)

And his poem Ale mentshn zaynen brider (All People Are Brothers) inspired by and set to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"

Oh, and this will be a Beethoven World Premiere - an instrumental section of Beethoven's 9th Symphony newly adapted for chorus!

Duo Doyna CD release, Bremen, Germany, 31 May 2015

Duo Doyna - CD Release Konzert

Sun, May 31, 2015, 5pm
Burg Blomendal
Auestr. 9,
28779 Bremen, Germany

Annette Maye – clarinet, bassclarinet
Martin Schulte – guitar

In temperamentvollen Frejlachs und schnellen Bulgar-Tänzen aus der traditionellen Hochzeits- und Tanzmusik der osteuropäischen Juden, in sephardischen Klängen aus dem Mittelmeerraum und Eigenkompositionen verbindet das Duo Doyna musikalische Welten: Die berührenden und mitreißenden Klezmer-Melodien, welche über Jahrhunderte hinweg verschmolzen sind mit den Bauerntänzen der ost- und südosteuropäischen Länder, wachsen in den virtuosen Improvisationen des Duos über sich selbst hinaus und verbinden sich mit Anklängen aus dem Jazz, Rock und Funk. Nun präsentiert das Duo Doyna seine Debüt- Live CD "Sammy´s Frejlach" (Konnex Records).
