Wild BohemiansWild Bohemians Mardi Gras Parade on South Street The next best thing to Bourbon Street Sun, Feb 15, 2009, 1:30pm - 6:30pm Start at Fat Tuesday's at 1:30pm 431 South Street Philadelphia, PA The WILD BOHEMIANS are celebrating their 25th year of bringing the sounds, dance, and raucous joy of Mardi Gras to Philadelphia. Founded by Pete Gumbo, who also leads Philly Gumbo and Zydeco-a-Go-Go, the band’s repertoire consists of any and all music from Louisiana, including Cajun, Zydeco, Dixieland, Mardi Gras Street Music, Jazz, R&B, and a specialty the Bohemians called Swamp Stomp. Each Mardi Gras the Wild Bohemians play to jubilant dancing audiences. The celebration includes a parade held on a Sunday afternoon before Mardi Gras (February 15th this year) featuring the band marching down South Street, trailed by costumed revelers, stopping in every bar along the route for a short set and a tall drink. Then on Mardi Gras night, Fat Tuesday (Feb 24th this year), the band blows the roof off the joint, bringing an uplifting and almost religious experience to their fans. The band members are professional musicians who play in other bands and venues all year round, but wouldn't miss this date with The Wild Bohemians. The lineup at times, consists of over 20 players on stage. Mardi Gras with The Wild Bohemians in Philadelphia The next best thing to being on Bourbon Street!

Girls in Trouble is an art-folk song cycle about the women of the Old Testament created by Brooklyn-based violinist, singer, and writer Alicia Jo Rabins. Drawing from two years spent studying holy texts in Jerusalem and playing in rock clubs at night, Girls in Trouble combines mysticism, poetry, and ancient women's tales to weave improbably beautiful songs about androgyny, knives & leprosy. This performance celebrates the release of Girls in Trouble's 2nd album, 'Half You Half Me.'

Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn has been at the heart of the vibrant Northwest independent and alternative music scene ever since releasing her debut album 'You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This' in 2001. Her music is characterized by an evocative mix of striking lyrical poise and unabashed emotional honesty. Her
performance at the Subterranean Arthouse is a bit of a secret, but we're letting you in on it. Shhhhhhhhh.

Real Vocal String Quartet was formed in 2003 by premier San Francisco violinist/composer Irene Sazer. Since then, the quartet has performed to sold out audiences around the Bay Area. The group is thrilled to announce the release this February of their first studio album. RVSQ's influences range from traditional American string band music to contemporary improvisation, from Brazilian folk rhythms to hypnotic meditations from West Africa. Through it all, the threads of spine-tingling vocal and instrumental harmony and fearless, inspired improvisation weave a web of original acoustic music played with a deep groove.

"A Kadish for Bernie Madoff," NYC, 8 Nov, 2012

Madoff posterAlicia Jo Rabins' new song cycle, A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff, will premier November 8th and 15th at Joe's Pub!

Thursdays, Nov 8, 15th, 2012, 7pm
Joe's Pub
425 Lafayette St
New York, NY 10003

Interweaving religious texts about money with interviews Rabins conducted over the course of two years (including with an FBI agent on the case, Madoff victims, and a Buddhist monk), A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff will investigate the intersection of mysticism and finance, the inevitability of cycles, and the true meaning of wealth.

Inspired by personal finance blogs, kabbalistic numerology, and the Kaddish, Rabins explores connections between Madoff's individual crimes and their larger communal and cultural impacts. Ordinary-seeming actions come to reveal truths about the deeper significance of Madoff's deception and the surprising interconnectedness of humans to one another.

DOIN’ WHAT COMES NATUR’LLY: A TRIBUTE TO COMPOSER/LYRICIST IRVING BERLIN
With Musical Theater Historian Bonnie Weiss

For tickets, click here or visit the 28th Jewish Music Festival Office

Irving Berlin arrived from Russia at age five. A native Yiddish speaker, he quickly mastered English and taught himself to play piano. With these basic skills and remarkable raw talent, he composed some of the most cherished songs of the Great American Songbook, including “Alexander’s Rag Time Band,” “Always,” “God Bless America,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Cheek to Cheek” and the best-selling pop song ever, “White Christmas." He also wrote the music and lyrics to such wonderful hit shows as Annie Get Your Gun and Call Me Madam and films such as Top Hat, Blue Skies and Easter Parade.

In this multimedia presentation, you’ll learn about Irving Berlin’s personal and professional life and see scenes from his Broadway and Hollywood musicals featuring superstars such as Ethel Merman, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Donald O'Connor, Betty Hutton, and Michael Feinstein. Plus you’ll see video of Berlin himself performing his melodies and lyrics.

This is an encore presentation by Bonnie Weiss, whose multimedia talk on lyricist Yip Harburg in February for the 28th Jewish Music Festival delighted a sold-out audience. She teaches musical theater appreciation at San Francisco State and Dominican Universities.

Charming Hostess, San Francisco, CA, 2 Jul 2013

imageCharming Hostess

Excited to open for Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino one of Italy’s leading traditional music ensembles, hailing from the Salento, the heel of the Italian boot. This seven-piece band draws from the ancient ritual of pizzica tarantata, said to cure the taranta spider’s bite with its frenzied trance. Tarantism, the cultural phenomenon of trance and possessions, has endured to the present day in Salento. We will be playing mostly Italian anarchist songs with a little bit of Leone Ginzburg in there for fun. Dance, get sweaty and trance out!

City Winery's brunch on Aug. 11, 2013 features Lisa Gutkin.

Can one artist be both unpredictable and a surefire bet? If that artist is Lisa Gutkin, the answer is an emphatic yes! As the longtime violinist for the Klezmatics, the Grammy-winning outfit that has taken Jewish klezmer music to previously unimaginable places, Gutkin has consistently proven a masterful musician and a boundlessly creative force. But, in her solo performances and in collaboration with other musicians, Gutkin might swing seamlessly from traditional Irish fiddle tunes to a blues, to Balkan or bluegrass sounds. Or she might just put the violin down altogether, pick up a tenor guitar and sing one of her own universally resonant compositions.

The Klezmatics, known for their dynamic re-imagining of Klezmer, join with Joshua Nelson, an African-American Jew known as the "Prince of Kosher Gospel." Brother Moses Smote the Water is a cross-cultural celebration of freedom songs from the Jewish and African American traditions, illustrating the spiritual common ground of both traditions and weaving a musical story of inspiration and social action. Special guests will be Baltimore's Bethel AME Church Outreach of Love Gospel Choir. This exciting collaboration will leave you inspired by Dr. King's vision of a unified community.

Since their emergence more than 25 years ago, the Klezmatics have raised the bar for Eastern European Jewish music, made aesthetically, politically and musically interesting recordings, inspired future generations, created a large body of work that is enduring, and helped to change the face of contemporary Yiddish culture. Often called a “Jewish roots band,” the Klezmatics have led a popular revival of this ages-old, nearly forgotten art form.

Pre-concert multimedia presentation by Nora Guthrie

Sun, 8 Mar 2015, 3pm
Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College
Campus Road at Nostrand Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11210

Flash back to 1940s Coney Island, where Woody Guthrie and his wife settled into the raucous life on Mermaid Avenue. Inspired by his Jewish family and their community, he wrote hundreds of lyrics rich with spirituality, tenderness, and a passionate belief in the human fight for peace and justice. Now Guthrie’s poetry is given new life by the Grammy-winning Klezmatics, infusing his words with Eastern European, klezmer, Celtic, Afro-Caribbean, and folk flavors in a lively dialogue about the spiritual power of music to unite.

Note: Please join us at 12pm in the Woody Tanger Auditorium (located in the Brooklyn College Library) for a pre-show event with Nora Guthrie, founder and president of the Woody Guthrie Institute and Woody Guthrie Archives (and Woody's daughter), who will make a 90-minute multimedia presentation, entitled “Holy Ground: Woody Guthrie’s Yiddish Connection,” focusing on the artistic implications of Woody's relationship with his Jewish mother-in-law, Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt, and the eclectic life of the Guthrie family in 1940s Brooklyn. RSVP'S REQUIRED. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEATS (MAXIMUM 2 PER RESERVATION).

Tickets: $30

The eclectic and wonderful Kinky Friedman comes to the Leventhal Sidman JCC on Saturday, May 2nd at 8 PM. (Alas, his band, The Texas Jewboys, won't be making the trip with him). If you don't know this singer/satirist, you've got a treat in store. Texas born and bred, he ran for Governor of Texas in 2006, driving the state in "The Yom Kippur Clipper" (his "Jewish Cadillac," as he calls it); among his most famous songs is "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore."

Opening for Friedman will be Joe Kessler and Josh Lederman of the Klezwoods. It will be an evening of fun.

The BJMF is co-sponsoring this event with the Ryna Greenbaum JCC Center for the Arts.

From American classical music to Broadway show tunes, Jewish-American composers defined much of American popular music in the 1920s-50s. In this lecture-concert, Orin Grossman (Fairfield University) and the artists of the Sidney Krum Concert Series explore three giants of American music and the Jewish influences on their work: Aaron Copland (1900-1990), George Gershwin (1898-1937), and Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990). Works performed and discussed will include Copland’s “Vitebsk,” Gershwin’s “Mischa, Yascha, Toscha, Sascha,” and Bernstein’s “I Am Easily Assimilated.”

The Sidney Krum Young Artists Concert Series is made possible by a generous gift from the Estate of Sidney Krum.
