The play incorporates events pre and post immigration and the transformation of these lives throughout those times. The production reflects a series of snapshots and intertwines dialogues between the past and the present.

Lost&Found was founded by Anna Zicer. Sponsored by CWW (a project of COJECO- supported by the UJA-Federation of NY) and Genesis Philanthropy Group. With the generous collaboration of Bryna Wasserman, of the National Yiddish

L'entrepôt - Musique
7/9, rue Francis de Pressenssé,
75014 Paris

Cette fois-ci les festivités commencent avec les MENTSH, un duo fidèle à la tradition de voyage et de fête, qui fait revivre cette musique de l’âme et la réinterprète avec fougue, énergie, malice et liberté. Le public est transporté dans un univers inversé et farfelu. Les émotions se mélangent entre euphorie et recueillement.

En deuxième partie de soirée, l'Entrepôt accueille FINZI MOSAIQUE ENSEMBLE, une nouvelle formation issue de la scène tsigano-orientale parisienne, qui interprète des musiques issues des balkans. Un spectacle ou se mêle danse, chant et musique. L’orchestre, formé par des musiciens d’origines cosmopolites (France, Roumanie, Turquie, Espagne), donne une nouvelle vie à ces répertoires traditionnels.

Eve's Women, NYC, Jul 12

I just wanted to let you know about the U.S. debut of "Eve's Women" from Israel who play both traditional klezmer as well as an "Israeli style" of klezmer with strong Middle Eastern, Latin and African influences.

They will be playing along with Chava Alberstein in Brooklyn's Prospect Park in the Celebrate Brooklyn! summer concert series on Saturday, July 12th at 7:30 pm. Here is an article that just came out about them in Israel21c.

These are four top female talents from Israel, coming from a variety of musical backgrounds - from symphony orchestras to the country's hottest rock bands. Consequently, they bring a truly unique and fresh blend of klezmer, jazz, rock and world music sounds.

Klezfest, St. Petersburg, Russia, July 12-16

An international seminar on the traditional music of Eastern European Jewry, to be held July 12-16, 2003 in St. Petersburg, Russia. KlezFest in St. Petersburg," now in its seventh year, is the oldest Klezmer seminar in Russia.

Hankus Netsky in Jam, Boston, MA, Jul 24

So, as I announced last week, this year's NEC klezmer institute was cancelled.

But.....since there was a fairly well-publicized concert scheduled for
Thursday night, July 24 at 7:30 PM in room G14 in the St. Botolph Building (241 St.
Botolph St., Boston)

And since people might show up for that concert anyway...

I've decided to host a klezmer and Yiddish jam session that night, which will
at least feature myself and Michael Winograd.

And if there's an audience, we can pretend it's a concert. A really good
concert.

One word of warning - If you want to get in, be sure to arrive before eight -
they lock the doors (street entrance) to the building at 8.

Also, I think they lock the parking lot entrance even earlier.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to maybe bring something to eat or drink
(non-alcoholic, but we can pretend).

Klezmer music workshop, Weimar, Germany, Aug 3-10

Bridges: Between Klezmer & New Jewish Music"

In response to the wishes of many participants in the Weimar workshops in 2000 and 2002, we've chosen a focus this year which is contemporary as well as historical. In addition to the musicians of Brave Old World, we're delighted to have Frank London and Sophie Solomon as teachers in 2003, both musicians internationally known for their innovative Jewish music projects (see biographies). The workshop is aimed at experienced players of klezmer or other Jewish music. In lectures, master classes and ensembles, we will investigate questions of style, repertoire and performance practise relating traditional klezmer music to contemporary Jewish musics. Particular attention will be paid to improvisation and innovations in rhythm, harmony, melody and form.

Klezmer Jam, Brookline, MA, Aug 3

Klezmer jam at the Workmen's Circle, 6-8 PM . We hope you will come and enjoy a great jam led by clarinetist Michael Winograd.

We have been playing mainly from printed music, which we will have available in C and B-flat. All levels of players are welcome.

The WC is at 1762 Beacon St in Brookline, about 5 blocks west of Washington Square, which is about 12 blocks west of Coolidge Corner. The Green Line Beacon Street route goes right to the WC (just tell the conductor, "Ich gay in Arbeter Ring," and they'll know where to let you off).

We recommend a contribution of $5-$10, but no one should be kept away on account of money.

8th Annual KlezKanada, Quebec, Canada, Aug 19-24

One of the best Klezmer/yiddish culture camps in North America is the annual "KlezKanada", held each years in the spectacular Laurentian mountains north of Montreal. Organized, in part, by the folks in Brave Old World, the program is always spectacular.

Events include lectures, a mini film festival, and of course, intensive workshops in singing, klezmer music, theatre, and dance. The "Kidz for Klez" program is also great. This is the best summer camp in the world (in fact, the event is hosted at a Jewish summer camp). Register early to get the best bunks.

Although most events start on the 20th, today is the day to arrive, get oriented, and get in some preliminary jamming.

School of Management Auditorium
595 Commonwealth Ave.

Violinist Alicia Svigals, who is considered by many to be the world's leading klezmer fiddler, was a founder of the renowned Jewish roots groups the Klezmatics, and of her current band, the all-female Mikveh. As a musician and composer, she has worked with Itzhak Perlman, the Kronos Quartet, playwrights Tony Kushner and Eve Ensler, Allen Ginsburg, Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Hasidic superstar Avraham Fried, and singer/songwriter Debbie Friedman.

She has been at the forefront of the Klezmer revival, rediscovering and reinventing the sound of the Klezmer fiddle, the central instrument in klezmer music before the Holocaust. A musician and composer, Svigals is widely acclaimed for her virtuosic technique and lyricism.

Svigals will be joined by an old-world string band made up of Boston's finest klezmer musicians, including members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and of Andy Statman's ensemble: Jim Guttman, bass; Miriam Rabson and Rohan Gregory, violins; Pete Rushefsky, tsimbl; and Larry Eagle, percussion.

This innovative ensemble from Cracow, Poland takes the traditions of klezmer music, with all its wild and festive roots, and turns it into thoughtful and virtuostic performance art. In an era in which many bands exaggerate and vulgarize, this group is headed in the other direction, creating original compositions and intricate inprovisations based on particular elements of klezmer. This will be their first time in Boston! "Of all the ensembles that have emerged in recent years to explore the meaning of klezmer in a new era, few have reached as high as the Cracow Klezmer Band, and fewer still have attained comparable results."- Chicago Tribune.

The Cracow Klezmer Band is: Jaroslaw Bester, accordion; Jaroslaw Tyrala, violin; Oleg Dyyak, accordion, clarinet and percussion; and Wojciech Front, double bass.

Casco Bay Tummelers, Bar Mills, ME, Oct 11

The Casco Bay Tummlers will be performing a concert of emotionally charged klezmer music, danceable folk melodies of Eastern Europe, Yiddish "favorites" and original tunes at The Saco River Grange Hall on Saturday, October 11th. Back by popular demand - this is their third annual appearance at the Saco Grange. For those who haven't been there, the Grange is a wonderful, friendly room with great acoustics, right on the Saco River and just a 20 minute drive from Portland.

Over the last year the Tummlers have been working with a new clarinetist, Steve Gruverman. Steve has an extensive background in international folk dance music. As a result, the Tummlers have been broadening their repertoire, learning music which is closely related to klezmer and comes from countries such as Macedonia and Bulgaria. They've also added some beautiful Ladino songs from the Jewish community of Salonika in Greece which feature Julie Goell on vocals. The concert will include original music by bandmembers Carl Dimow and Hayes Porterfield, lots of joyful klezmer standards and the classic Yiddish theater showstopper, "Roumainia, Roumainia," sung by the delightful Nancy 3. Hoffman.

The concert is at 7:30 pm, $10 for adults, $8 for children and seniors. Call the Grange at 929-6472 for reservations and directions, or get tickets at the door.

David Krakauer at Helsinki Klezmer Fest, Oct 25

Helsinki Klezmer Festival, the festival of traditional instrumental music of the Yiddish-speaking people is organized for the third time already in Finland. Savoy Theatre as its venue, the event aims to make klezmer music better known in general and to give people a possibility to get to know one of the Europes most interesting cultural traditions. Klezmer music has its roots in the medieval Europe, where the Jewish people of the Eastern Europe traveled from town to town in order to play in weddings and other events. By the end of the 18th century klezmer music had become a well-developed music style, gathering influences from the Jewish culture and from outside of it.

Nowadays klezmer music is played almost all around the world, but mostly in the United States and in Europe. Klezmer music is constantly evolving and mixing with other music styles such as jazz and pop music. In order for the style to survive it is still important that there are also bands trying to find out the origins of klezmer music and ways to maintain it as authentic as possible. The authenticity of the music will not bring back the culturally rich community that once lived in the Eastern Europe but will give the listeners a possibility to get a bit closer look at the life of the society that lived at that time.

We recommend a contribution of $5-$10, but no one should be kept away on account of money.

If you have your own list of people who might like to attend, please forward this to them.

The December jam will probably be held on Dec 14, since the Klezmatics are playing on Dec. 7 - keep tuned for definite date.

Adrianne Greenbaum writes:

On December 21 I will be performing with Pete Rushevsky and Marty Confurius (Cookie MAY join in on a set if she can briefly tear herself away from a family fete...) at Tonic. We'll be performing most of the Fleyt album but also additional Gulerman and Triplik/Beregovski tunes, a couple of which will hopefully performed on my "new" simple-system J. Zimmermann flute, c. 1899. It's a great sounding gem of an instrument if I can remember most of the fingerings... I'm gettin' there.... Anyway, I'd love to see many of you and maybe it'll be a nice warm afternoon like it's supposed to be this Sunday :-) Each set will be different so come to both and shmooze in between.

Klezmer Jam, Brookline, MA, Jan 4

Dear klezmorim

We are back from KlezKamp, bursting with energy from the week of wonderful Jewish music and culture. We are sure this energy will rub off on everyone who attends our January Jam.

The January jam at the Workmen's Circle is Sunday January 4, 6-8 PM. Our regular jam leader, Michael Winograd, played at the opening night staff concert and at the closing night's festivities with Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars. Michael is out of town January 4, but we'll have a great jam led by Jim Guttmann, bassist with the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and just returned from teaching at KlezKamp.

We have been playing mainly from printed music, which we will have available in C and B-flat. All levels of players are welcome.

The WC is at 1762 Beacon Street in Brookline, about 5 blocks west of Washington Square, which is about 12 blocks west of Coolidge Corner. The Green Line Beacon Street route goes right to the WC (just tell the conductor, "Ich gay in Arbeter Ring," and they'll know where to let you off).

We recommend a contribution of $5-$10, but no one should be kept away on account of money.

alicia svigalsBefore the big klezmer bands of New York arose with their brass and clarinets, there were the archetypical Jewish orchestras of the old world, led by the fiddle and borne aloft by the otherworldly sounds of the harp-like "tsimbl", or Jewish hammered dulcimer. This evening, the world's leading klezmer fiddler, the renowned Alicia Svigals, co-founder of the legendary Klezmatics, presents a program of these ancient and ecstatic Jewish melodies, accompanied by "tsimbler" Pete Rushefsky, one of the few musicians in the world to have mastered this traditional instrument. Join these two great figures in the revival and revitalization of "Old World" Jewish music a week before Purim for a musical communion with beloved ghosts from this Eastern European past.

"Groyse" Klezmer Concert, Montreal, Canada, Feb 29

The GROYSER KONCERT is coming to Montreal.

A popular feature of the KlezKanada Festival of Yiddish/Jewish Music and Culture held annually in the Laurentians, the GROYSER KONCERT is relocating to Montréal and the first concert will take place Sunday, February 29 at the Monument National Theatre, 1182 Boulevard Saint-Laurent.

Three internationally acclaimed groups will headline the program: New York-based Brave Old World, which has stood at the forefront of the Klezmer revival around-the-world for over two decades; Beyond the Pale, a Toronto group that has been winning raves across North America for its contemporary approach to traditional Klezmer music; and Montreal’s Shtreiml, just back from a successful European tour that won raves for its Klezmer, gypsy and jazz music.

Broadway singing star Joanne Borts and Yaela Hertz, violinist and concertmaster emerita of the McGill Chamber Orchestra, will also be featured. Michael Wex, the celebrated author, raconteur and itinerant teacher of Yiddish, will be the MC.

Jointly sponsored by KlezKanada, the YM-YWHA Montreal Jewish Community Centres and the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts, the GROYSER KONCERT signals the beginning of a collaborative relationship between the organizations, with the intent of creating a permanent base for Klezmer music in Montréal.

Proceeds help support KlezKanada’s unique youth scholarship fund and the cultural programming of Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts.

Patron tickets at $250 and Supporter tickets at $100 are available with partial tax receipts. General admission (Balcony seats) is $36 and tickets are on sale at the Saidye Bronfman Centre Box Office, 5170 Côte Ste-Catherine Road, or by telephone at (514) 739-7944.

Silent Film showing w/Klezmer Score, Columbia, MO, May 7

Klezmer and Yiddish swing orchestra The People's Republic of Klezmerica
May 7, 2004, at the Missouri Theatre in Columbia, MO:
Time: 8pm

$8 for adults, $6 for children under 12.
tel: (573)446-0608

will present their original score to "Pass the Gravy," enlivening our rediscovery of the agile and inspired silent comedian Max Davidson. Davidson was extremely popular in the late 1920s when he starred in a number of shorts at the Hal Roach Studios, playing the roles of Jewish tailors, pawnbrokers, and junk dealers. Nearly forgotten today, Davidson infused American slapstick with agile antics and a unique brand of Eastern European moxie. The original score, which combines early Yiddish swing, klezmer, vintage "photoplay" music, and popular melodies, may be the first Yiddish-themed work in the emerging trend of accompanying silent films.

Pharaoh's Daughter, Rashanim, NYC, May 23

Counting Sheaves: Def Midrash Jam!! The Jam will bring together poetry and music dedicated to the dearest, the funkiest, and the most obscure midrashim, as well as our poets' own erratic interpretive inventions a-la midrash. Some of the hippest Jewish musicians in New York, Pharaoh's Daughter (middle-eastern psychedelic rock) and Rashanim (experimental jazz-rock) will continue the theme of artistic interpretation through their beats, rhythms and solos. Nehedar, the radical all-chick roots-and-funk band, hailing from Stern College, will open the show. Bring your own midrashic inventions: the open mic section will go late into the night (sign up starts at 7 pm). Sunday May 23rd, 7 pm * 308 Bowery, b/n Houston and Bleecker * $10 cover The event will be held at the famed Bowery Poetry Café in Greenwich Village. Please see our website for a preview of the event's poetry, music, photos, bios, links, directions and more: www.mimaamakim.org This is going to rock!!

Disciples of Goldenshteyn, Seattle, WA, May 31

Still wanting more after this Sunday night's Northwest Folklife Balkan bash? Grab your latte, chase off that hangover and boogie the morning after to "Disciples of Goldenshteyn," a trio playing old-time Bessarabian Wedding Band music.

Andrew Ehrlich (violin), Milton From (clarinet) and Martin Morgenbesser (accordion) will wake you up with tunes we've learned from our beloved teacher and personal hero, clarinetist German Goldenshteyn. This lively and soulful traditional dance music blends Jewish, Moldovan, Roma, Romanian and Ukrainian influences into a heady Klezmer brew once performed throughout Bessarabia for weddings and communal celebrations.

"Disciples of Goldenshteyn" will perform at Northwest Folklife, Seattle Center, this Monday, Memorial Day, May 31st from 11:00 till 11:30 AM at the Exhibition Hall Lawn Stage.

To learn more about German Goldenshteyn and the music he plays go to Interview with a Bessarabian Klezmer, German Goldenstyn. German Goldenshteyn teaches every year at KlezKanada. Check it out! Learn from our master!

Set in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains on the lush 300+ acre campus of Albuquerque Academy, this weeklong workshop features Veretski Pass, including tsimbalist and accordianist Josh Horowitz, fiddler Cookie Segelstein, and Stu Brotman on bass. This year we are offering optional afternoon classes including 2 sessions of Yiddish dance, a lecture and slide show on 18th and 19th C. Yiddish life, and a film screening and discussion. You can also hike on our private wilderness tract and on the many acres of public land nearby. Or you may want to explore the cultural resources of the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area.

This class is open to anyone who can play simple tunes on their instrument. You do not have to read music or be familiar with Klezmer style. We encourage both solo players and existing ensembles to participate. Class will run daily from 9 AM until noon with optional afternoon programs as describged above. $210.

The week will conclude with a student concert, and a concert by Cookie, Josh and Stu on Friday evening.

This weeklong workshop could be a great start or end to a southwestern summer vacation or a vacation unto itself.

9th KlezKanada, Quebec, Canada, Aug 23-29

Musicians begin today

One of the best Klezmer/yiddish culture camps in North America is the annual "KlezKanada", held each years in the spectacular Laurentian mountains north of Montreal. Organized, in part, by the folks in Brave Old World, the program is always spectacular.

Events include lectures, a mini film festival, and of course, intensive workshops in singing, klezmer music, theatre, and dance. The "Kidz for Klez" program is also great. This is the best summer camp in the world (in fact, the event is hosted at a Jewish summer camp). Register early to get the best bunks.

Although most events start on Wednesday, the 25th, musicians should arrive this morning with the first workshops scheduled for this afternoon. Today is the day to arrive, get oriented, and get in some preliminary jamming.

Brave Old World, NYC, May 11-15

brave old worldStu Brotman writes about the "great lost" Brave Old World program, now being released on CD, and now appearing in NYC!

Brave Old World will be presented by the Folksbiene Theatre in New York this May 11-15. We¹ll be performing our program called "Song of the Lodz Ghetto," which has just been released as a beautiful new Winter and Winter cd called "Dus gezang fin Geto Lodzh."

From the Folksbiene's announcement on their website, folksbiene.org/!musical-events.html:

The New York premiere of the innovative klezmer group's moving, theatrical musical program blending Yiddish tradition, classical music, jazz, and rare Jewish street and cabaret songs from the Nazi ghetto of Lodz, Poland between 1940 and 1944. (At the Triad Theater, on West. 72nd Street, 9pm, $20.) The New York premiere of the innovative klezmer group's moving, theatrical musical program blending Yiddish tradition, classical music, jazz, and rare Jewish street and cabaret songs from the Nazi ghetto of Lodz, Poland between 1940 and 1944. (At the Triad Theater, on West. 72nd Street, 9pm, $20.)"

I¹m very proud of this show. It¹s essentially a through-composed tone poem, a one-act musical play, in suite form, in Yiddish and Polish, with English supertitles projected overhead. Long-lost songs of resistance from street-singers of the Lodz ghetto are contrasted with pre-war Polish and Yiddish songs; original klezmer laments and deep jazz improvisations, references to Beethoven, evoke powerful emotions.

World Premiere: Di Fusgeyers, Los Angeles, CA, Dec 4

In Collaboration with the Consulate General of Romania – Los Angeles
Present The World Premiere
“Di Fusgeyers”
Featuring Music Composed by
Yale Strom
Inspired by Stuart Tower’s popular historical novel “The Wayfarers,” this
string quartet is a musical tribute to the trek of thousands of young Romanian
Jews to Bremerhaven and other Atlantic seaports between 1890 and 1914 to
escape the intolerable political, social and economic anti-Semitism of their
native land in order to reach the Atlantic seaports for departure for a new life
in the United States. The Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity with
which Strom is affiliated, commissioned the creation of the composition as part
of its ongoing effort to broaden the horizon of Jewish culture. Its world
premiere will be:

Klezmer Jam, Brookline, MA, Feb 12

We had to change the jam to Sunday Feb 12 since we figured many people would want to watch the Super Bowl, even though the Patriots are not playing. You may remember that last year, the Invisible I-95 Foxboro Shetl Marching Band provided a stirring rendition of the Bobover Wedding March during the half-time show. Numerous sportscasters noted the inspirational impact this had on the Patriots.

This year's Super Bowl mysteriously does not include the Patriots (instead it is the Shtolers vs. the Yamfalks), but it does feature the Rolling Stones, and it is rumored that the Detroit Auto-Klez Ensemble will open for the Stones.

At any rate, come play music 7-9 pm on Sunday Feb. 12, 2006 at the Workmen's Circle, at 1762 Beacon Street in Brookline, about 5 blocks west of Washington Square, which is about 12 blocks west of Coolidge Corner, right on the Green Line Beacon Street route.

We play from printed music, which we will have available in C and B-flat. All levels of players are welcome. There is a piano, though keyboard players are welcome to bring a portable keyboard in case more than one pianist shows up.

Di Fidl-Kapelye, Enschede, the Netherlands, Feb 19

Een nieuw geluid van Di Fidl-Kapelye!
Project "Trumpets for Di Fidl-Kapelye"

Bekend om haar authentieke klezmer-sound is Di Fidl-Kapelye nu op weg naar nieuwe horizonten: blazende klezmer-experts componeren speciaal voor de snaren-kapelye nieuwe stukken.

5 beroemde klezmer-blazers hebben de afgelopen maanden gewerkt aan nieuw repertoire speciaal voor Di Fidl-Kapelye geschreven. Het project begon met drie trompettisten: Frank London (van o.a. de Klezmatics), Gijs Levelt (o.a. Amsterdam Klezmer Band) en Susan Watts (o.a. de Klezmer Brass Allstars). Inmiddels is het uitgegroeid tot een blazers-voor-strijkers-project, waarin ook klarinettist Yankl Falk (di Naye Kapelye) en saxofonist Job Chajes (Amsterdam Klezmer Band) componeren.

Première van het project: zo. 19 feb, Synagoge Enschede

Zhok Therapy, the rebellious child of the Casco Bay Tummlers, will be returning to the Little Dog Coffee Shop, 87 Maine St. in Brunswick, Friday, March 24. We'll be playing from 7:00 - 9:00.

We'll be back with pieces highlighting the improvisational skills of the band. Our inspiration for this will be original compositions and traditional Jewish, Roma, Balkan and Middle Eastern melodies. We'll also be doing some of our classic klezmer repertoire. Last month there was quite a bit of dancing going on, too, and we expect that will be the case this time as well.

The lineup for this event is Hayes Porterfield, percussion, Carl Dimow on flutes and guitars, Julie Goell, bass and vocals and Steve Gruverman, clarinet and sax.

There's no cover charge so we hope you'll stop by to enjoy a slightly different side of the band as well as try some of the Little Dog's goodies. And if you don't have a copy of our new CD, Journey, we'll have them for sale.

For more information you can contact the Little Dog at 721-9500.

Alicia's Klezmer Party brings the joyful sounds of traditional Ashkenazic Jewish dance music to young ears and feet. World-renowned klezmer fiddler Alicia Svigals, accordionist Art Bailey, and Yiddish singer Magda Fishman raise the roof with hot klezmer tunes and get kids and adults clapping and stamping along. Children learn Yiddish words and shtetl-flavored melodies to sing along and bring home to their own holiday celebrations. Alicia's Klezmer Party brings to life the ecstatic and poignant sounds that must have emanated from Chagall's original fiddlers, a magical journey for kids and parents of all backgrounds.

Author of "Klezmer: Tales of the Wild East" in book signing!, NYC, Nov 5

Monday, November 5, 2006, 8:00 PM: Joann Sfar, author of KLEZMER: BOOK 1: TALES OF THE WILD EAST (published by First Second Books). Internationally acclaimed graphic novelist Joann Sfar (author of THE RABBI'S CAT) will speak about his newest work, the ongoing saga of a wandering band of Jewish klezmer musicians in pre-World War II Eastern Europe. Following band leader Noah Davidovich and a misfit cast of characters, Sfar brings to mind both Isaac Bashevis Singer and Jewish folk tales with his loose, watercolor style and a dark, violent, but ultimately humanistic story of the itinerant klezmer musicians who performed at celebrations, festivals and cabarets. Fresh from a panel discussion at the 92nd Street Y, Sfar will use the more intimate setting of the McNally Robinson teahouse to answer questions and create conversation about the themes of his work. Free and open to the public. Book signing to follow.

23. November 20.00 Uhr im Gartensaal
1933 lebten 3.358 Juden in Karlsruhe. Über tausend fanden zwischen 1933 und 1945 den Tod. Auf Initiative des Stadtarchivs Karlsruhe und von diesem betreut, nähern sich Bürgerinnen und Bürger der Stadt dem Lebenslauf eines der ermordeten Menschen, indem sie Spuren seines Lebens suchen und schliesslich seine Biographie verfassen. Jede fertig gestellte Biographie wird mit dem Namen der Verfasserin und des Verfassers in ein Gedenkbuch eingefügt. Durch diese Biographien erfährt man nicht nur etwas über den Leidensweg der Opfer, sondern auch vieles über das Leben in Karlsruhe zu der damaligen Zeit. Wir werden einige dieser Lebensläufe aus den unterschiedlichsten Bevölkerungsschichten auswählen und deren Verfasser (von Schülern bis zu Rentnern) einladen, Auszüge aus diesen kurzen biographischen Skizzen selbst vorzutragen. Diese sind oft sehr persönlich und enthalten viele interessante Aspekte: z. B. über das Familienleben, oder von den materiellen Schwierigkeiten, sich als allein stehende Frau mit einem Kind durchschlagen zu müssen, vom Dasein eines Kleinunternehmers und vieles andere mehr bis hin zur traurigen und tragischen Zeit der Verfolgung.

Yitzhok Niborski, renowned yiddish teacher, lecturer and the director of the Paris Yiddish Center will be delivering a lecture (in yiddish with english translation) on Aaron Tseitlin's "Weitzman the Second - a visionary farce" For those not familiar with Dr. Niborski, he is to my mind one of the finest Yiddish teachers in the world and a very engaging and entertaining lecturer with a keen sense of humor.

Fabian Schnedler opens for Shirim, Boston, Dec 20

Fabian Schnedler, the Berlin Yiddish singer, half of the group "Shiker vi Lot"
Boston
20th of December (Wednesday),
8pm at Johnny's D (17 Holland Street, Boston, Sommerville, Maine).
It will be a concert of the Shirim Klezmer Band, and Fabian will sing before.

Fabian accompanies himself on guitar and has cool arrangements of known and unknown yiddish songs plus a beautiful voice. He is usually not to be heard in the US - so go and hear a talented singer from Berlin, who studied with Michael Alpert, Adrienne Cooper
and others, and is now presenting his own approach! Highly recommended by Janina Werb and Itzik Gottesman on the Jewish-Music mailing list. (Shirim, of course, is highly recommended by all.)

EXTENDED BODY:
The Ensemble Lucidarium, a famous international group of scholar musicians specialized in the works of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, will perform: "La Istoria de Purim," Jewish music and poetry from the Italian Renaissance, which was awarded first prize in 2004 by the European Association for Jewish Culture.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, northern Italy was a meeting place for three separate Jewish communities: Ashkenazi, Jews coming from northeastern Europe, Sephardic Jews from the Iberian peninsula, and Italikim who had been in Italy since the days of the Roman Empire. The music from this period is characterized by a fertile exchange of ideas and culture between Jews and gentiles. The texts transcribed into the Hebrew alphabet in four-verse stanzas are written in the colorful Jewish vernacular spoken in the Po valley during the sixteenth century. The rhymes were typical of the songs performed to celebrate the festival of Purim by recounting the story of Queen Esther. Ensemble Lucidarium has reconstructed the music through painstaking research into sixteenth-century music and oral traditions still alive in certain areas of the Tuscan and Emilian Apennines.

This concert has been organized with the support of Congregation Beth Shalom
of Naperville and E.A.J.C. (European Association for Jewish Culture).

Solomon and SoCalledJuMu présente

En concert unique a Paris
Sophie Solomon (Londres) + SoCalled (Canada)
L'avenir de la musique Klezmer

Inevitable rencontre parisienne a l'initiative de JuMu entre notre DJ Canadien national, SoCalled (aka Josh Dolgin), et la tres charismatique Sophie Solomon, violoniste britannique qui s'est illustree notamment au sein des Oi Va Oi, groupe electro londonien. Ces deux personnages, au centre de la nouvelle scene klezmer, n'ont jamais hesite a derouter leurs auditeurs en incorporant a la base de leur univers musical des elements exterieurs afin d'explorer de nouvelles marges. SoCalled, en collectionneur avise, mixe depuis toujours des vieux disques klezmer avec du hip hop et de l'electro mais ne laisse jamais son piano et son accordeon seuls trop longtemps, tandis que Sophie Solomon multiplie les projets les plus improbables sans se preoccuper des etiquettes, a coup de melange de sonorites russes, tziganes ou proche-orientales, sa virtuosite prenant toute sa dimension dans ces melodies tantot lancinantes, tantot enjouees mais toujours d'une grande dignité typique de la musique juive d'Europe de l'Est.

Late night hang--bon voyage to TOMER TZUR - 12 midnight
Sunday, April 1st, 2007
Zebulon - zebuloncafeconcert.com
258 Wythe Ave. bet N 3rd and Metropolitan
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11221
718 218 6934
Price: Free

As we prepare to enter the Springtime, the season of pilgrimage and slaughtered lambs, the season of feasting and rejoicing, the season of energies unbridled and blood flowing loose in the veins, we of The Sway Machinery prepare to say a fond farewell to TOMER TZUR, who will be moving back to his native land of Israel at the end of the month. For me personally, NYC without Tomer is almost as hard to imagine as New York without graffiti on the subway cars and the 2nd Avenue Deli standing proudly on the corner of E 11th Street. These things, too, we have seen pass. But before I start pulling out my third hanky, I'll have you all know, there's a party starting and it won't stop 'till we all drop. This Sunday night at Zebulon, starting at an unwholesome hour and going until it's time to go, we will regal our friends and fans with our music and enjoy the company of my man Tomer Tzur in good old-fashioned style.

"Song of the Lodz Ghetto"
featuring Brave Old World
Tuesday, May 29 7:30pm
Katz Theatre, JCC of Greater Pittsburgh 5738 Forbes Ave.

Song of the Lodz Ghetto is a song cycle in which memory and imagination freely interact to create a journey between present and past. Brave Old World's new Yiddish songs and compositions are interwoven with arrangements of the rare music created between 1940-44 in the Nazi ghetto of Lodz, Poland. This is music on the cutting edge of tradition performed by the celebrated quartet of the klezmer scene. Michael Alpert is renowned for his soulful renderings in the Yiddish language. Music director Alan Bern is acclaimed for his prize-winning compositions. Clarinetist Kurt Bjorling is internationally recognized as one of the most inventive interpreters of Klezmer music. And Stuart Brotman provides multi-instrumental virtuosity. You don't have to be Jewish to love this world-class band.

"I'll be back Andy along with drummer Larry Eagle at a fascinating concert that features him and Rick Skaggs at the Lincoln Center on August 19th.... He's playing both clarinet and mandolin and he asked me to bring a tuba along with a bass, so it should be quite the Jew-Bluegrass throw-down."

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.

Yiddish Dance class opens, NYC, Sep 30, 2007

New Yiddish Dance Class at NY's 92 St. Y presented by Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the 92 St. Y.

CTMD announces a new partnership with Manhattan's 92 St Y to offer a series of Yiddish dance classes beginning in September led by Walter Zev Feldman and other master dance leaders.

Building on our monthly Tantshoyz (dance house) series at the JCC in Manhattan, the 92 St. Y classes will provide intermediate and advanced dancers with a more in-depth opportunity to explore classic Yiddish and coterritorial dances such as the sher, hora/zhok, freylekhs, honga, hora moldavaneasca and bulgar. Special focus will also be given to the expressive power and gestures of solo dance. Classes will feature live klezmer music performed by Jake Shulman-Ment on violin and Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).

Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1. Cost for the series is $250 (interested participants must register for the entire series). To register or for more information, go to the 92nd St. Y website or call Pete Rushefsky at 212-571-1555 ext. 36 or email Pete.

And stay tuned for information about a new season of Tantshoyzen and a December 9 Symposium at NYU entitled Defining Yiddish Dance: Sacred, Secular, Borrowed and Transformed.

The Center for Traditional Music and Dance's Yiddish Dance Project is supported by the Forward Association, the New York State Council on the Arts Division of Folk Arts and public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Bardavon Opera House
35 Market St
Poughkeepsie, New York 12601

Thirteen of the world's most influential klezmer musicians gather for a concert and educational program inspired by the iconic 1958 photograph of jazz musicians "A Great Day in Harlem."

Conceived of and led by klezmer virtuoso Yale Strom, this gathering of musicians will highlight klezmer music, the traditional wedding and folk music played by Eastern European Jews. Klezmer lost popularity in the Unitd States after the 1950s as Jews looked to American musical sources. It began experiencing a revival in the 1970s as young musicians interested in their roots began to reclaim this tradition and incorporate American jazz and rock influences.

Join the Eldridge Street Project on its Great Day Tour with "A Great Day on Eldridge Street" in the beautful setting of the 1891 Fredonia Opera House.

New Yiddish Dance Class at NY's 92 St. Y presented by Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the 92 St. Y.

CTMD announces a new partnership with Manhattan's 92 St Y to offer a series of Yiddish dance classes beginning in September led by Walter Zev Feldman and other master dance leaders.

Building on our monthly Tantshoyz (dance house) series at the JCC in Manhattan, the 92 St. Y classes will provide intermediate and advanced dancers with a more in-depth opportunity to explore classic Yiddish and coterritorial dances such as the sher, hora/zhok, freylekhs, honga, hora moldavaneasca and bulgar. Special focus will also be given to the expressive power and gestures of solo dance. Classes will feature live klezmer music performed by Jake Shulman-Ment on violin and Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).

Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1. Cost for the series is $250 (interested participants must register for the entire series). To register or for more information, go to the 92nd St. Y website or call Pete Rushefsky at 212-571-1555 ext. 36 or email Pete.

And stay tuned for information about a new season of Tantshoyzen and a December 9 Symposium at NYU entitled Defining Yiddish Dance: Sacred, Secular, Borrowed and Transformed.

The Center for Traditional Music and Dance's Yiddish Dance Project is supported by the Forward Association, the New York State Council on the Arts Division of Folk Arts and public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Margotte Leverett et son Klezmer Mountain Boys s'intéressent aux affinités communes entre la country et le klezmer. La base instrumentale de ces deux genres est semblable, ces deux musiques parlent de l'âme, celle d'un peuple. C'est surtout ce dialogue qui a intéressé Margot Leverett. Une expérience d'ouverture qui fait tout le sel de cette musique de fusion.

CTMD announces a new partnership with Manhattan's 92 St Y to offer a series of Yiddish dance classes beginning in September led by Walter Zev Feldman and other master dance leaders.

Building on our monthly Tantshoyz (dance house) series at the JCC in Manhattan, the 92 St. Y classes will provide intermediate and advanced dancers with a more in-depth opportunity to explore classic Yiddish and coterritorial dances such as the sher, hora/zhok, freylekhs, honga, hora moldavaneasca and bulgar. Special focus will also be given to the expressive power and gestures of solo dance. Classes will feature live klezmer music performed by Jake Shulman-Ment on violin and Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).

Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1. Cost for the series is $250 (interested participants must register for the entire series). To register or for more information, go to the 92nd St. Y website or call Pete Rushefsky at 212-571-1555 ext. 36 or email Pete.

And stay tuned for information about a new season of Tantshoyzen and a December 9 Symposium at NYU entitled Defining Yiddish Dance: Sacred, Secular, Borrowed and Transformed.

The Center for Traditional Music and Dance's Yiddish Dance Project is supported by the Forward Association, the New York State Council on the Arts Division of Folk Arts and public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Klezmokum, Groningen, the Netherlands, Jan 1, 2008

Starting on Satuday 17 November, Klezmokum will be touring Holland and in Belgium) with "Ancient & Newer Roots", a program of original works by Jewish composers dating back to the period around World War Two, now updated into contemporary comopositions. The works by Mikhl Gelbart, Kasriel Broydo, Beyle Schaechter Gottesman and others are in new arrangements by Burton Greene, pianist and leader of Klezmokum. The tour has been made possible by funding from Maror in Amsterdam and the Levi Lassen Foundation in The Hague. Most of the concerts will be at synagogues or other Jewish locations.

1 January 2008 New Year's Day Concert,
Synagogue in Groningen.
3--5PM,
Folkingestraat 60.

In addition to traditional Chassidic melodies, there are also modern works by Matt Darriau (Klezmatics) and Bill Averbach (Austin Klezmorim), and by Sylke Rollig/Burton Greene included in Burton's arrangements. Nine of the compositions have already been recorded on a CD (BVHAAST CD 1205). Klezmokum combines originally Jewish music with Jazz and spontaneous improvisations, resulting in surprising modern music that retains the original atmosphere.

CTMD announces a new partnership with Manhattan's 92 St Y to offer a series of Yiddish dance classes beginning in September led by Walter Zev Feldman and other master dance leaders.

Building on our monthly Tantshoyz (dance house) series at the JCC in Manhattan, the 92 St. Y classes will provide intermediate and advanced dancers with a more in-depth opportunity to explore classic Yiddish and coterritorial dances such as the sher, hora/zhok, freylekhs, honga, hora moldavaneasca and bulgar. Special focus will also be given to the expressive power and gestures of solo dance. Classes will feature live klezmer music performed by Jake Shulman-Ment on violin and Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).

Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1. Cost for the series is $250 (interested participants must register for the entire series). To register or for more information, go to the 92nd St. Y website or call Pete Rushefsky at 212-571-1555 ext. 36 or email Pete.

And stay tuned for information about a new season of Tantshoyzen and a December 9 Symposium at NYU entitled Defining Yiddish Dance: Sacred, Secular, Borrowed and Transformed.

Advance Tickets are $20/$10. Tickets at the door are $25/$15. Subscribers receive the greatest discount. Brandeis Tickets: 781-736-3400.

The prophetic visions of Ezekiel are some of the most fascinating and vivid of all ancient texts. The traditional melodies used to chant them in the synagogue have been with us for ages, and serve as the inspiration for saxophonist Greg Wall’s Later Prophets. Featuring master percussionist and long time collaborator Aaron Alexander, seriously grooving bassist David Richards, and keyboards phenom Shai Bachar, the quartet manages to simultaneously straddle the gates of the ancient and avant-garde, while creating a musical experience that is as timeless as the texts themselves.

Okay, so that's a town???? Well, sort of. They have their own city and now they have their new synagogue, which we are "opening" with this concert. Officially? Oxford, Florida. Still not on your visionary map? The complex is drivable from Sarasota or Tampa or Orlando....

The synagogue is Temple Shalom, "Home of the New Jewish Congregation of Central Florida". The URL for the concert itself is: www.newjewishcongregation.org
For tickets call the office at 352-259-8773.
Price for the grand evening of the concert and dance party and dessert is $25.00

I'll be rockin' it out with Pete Rushefsky, Jake Shulman-Ment, and Brian Glassman and THAT should be enough to entice you to come. The concert will feature many of my compositions as well as goodies from our best sources, ones that particularly fit the flute. Then, at the dance party and dessert afterwards we'll be playing and dancing a new sher and a patch tanz! Locals: Be there!
Not local? Book your flight today! The weather is going to be great as well.

Once again the Patriots have shown themselves unable to accommodate our jam schedule. We have agreed to postpone the jam. In exchange, the halftime show will include a klezmer performance by a group to be chosen at random from an unknown drawing at a secret location.

Klezmer Jam Sunday will be Feb. 10 instead of Feb. 3 because of the Super Bowl.

Workmen's Circle building, 1762 Beacon St., Brookline
7:00 - 9:00pm

It's a place to enjoy the wonderful legacy of Klezmer music in an informal and friendly atmosphere. We play from music, available at the jam. We have a variety of instruments, and welcome players at all levels. Keyboardists should bring electric keyboards if possible.

Shirim 25th Anniversary concert, Arlington, MA, Feb 17, 2008

shirimCan you believe it? It is time for the 25th Anniversary concert of Shirim on Feb. 17, 2:00 at the Regent Theater, 7 Medford St., Arlington, MA. Tickets are $12.50, $8 for seniors and kids. Call the box office at (781) 646-4849 for tickets or visit www.regenttheatre.com. We are keeping the price low in the spirit of celebration and because we are making a video of the concert and want to have you there! Buy your tickets early!

Our first gig was 25 years ago at a Purim party at MIT, if I remember correctly. And since then we have played hundreds of weddings and Bar Mitzvahs in the Boston area- maybe yours? We have recorded 7 unique CDs, we have worked with Maurice Sendak and Ellen Kushner, played on the soundtrack of a Woody Allen movie, toured across the U.S.A., Canada and Europe, and we keep playing here in Boston through it all. Remember the annual December 25th concerts at Coolidge Corner? First Night at Berklee Performance Center? Hanukah celebrations at Downtown crossing in the freezing cold? It has been a long road, and we keep on going on!

So come and see us again! We’ll play some fresh music and some chestnuts. Hope to see you there!

"Common Chords II" A Celebration of Muslim and Jewish Music, Roslyn Hts, NY, Mar 1 2008

"Common Chords II": A Celebration of Muslim and Jewish Music is a concert occuring at Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn Heights (401 Roslyn Rd, 11577) on Saturday night 3/1/08 at 7:30 pm (5:30 pm for Mincha/Ma'ariv, followed by a 6:30 pm Lite Bite Middle Eastern Cafe). If you haven't heard the music of Salman Ahmad of the musical group Junoon & world leading klezmer artist Yale Strom, then you're missing something... You can get an idea about their styles by going to their respective web sites: www.junoon.com and www.yalestrom.com $10 adults, $5 students tel: 516-621-2288 www.tbsroslyn.org If your kids and teens were not planning on attending this concert, have them listen to the music on-line, I bet they'll want to go!!! This is not a concert like I've heard before, certainly not at a Conservative synagogue... these performers are more often at college campuses, central park, the UN General Assembly, and together they combine sufi-rock with klezmer, jazz, and Sephardic motifs. Salman Ahmad worked with Madonna and Bono from U2 in 2007 and has been touring actively, and has primarily focused on performing and addressing the U.S. universities such as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Purdue, Stanford, MIT, UT-Austin etc. Salman has been teaching a class on music titled "Islamic Music and Culture of South Asia", as a guest faculty at the Queens College of NY. Salman recently worked with Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan and Dave Stewart in a song for 'Green Peace'. In short, he rocks! Yale Strom is a violinist, composer, filmmaker, writer, photographer, playwright that is a pioneer among revivalists in conducting extensive field research in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans among the Jewish and Rom communities. Strom has become the world's leading ethnographer-artist of klezmer music and history. He has been composing his own New Jewish music, which combines klezmer with Hasidic nigunim , Rom, jazz, classical, Balkan and Sephardic motifs and has performed with many world renown musicians. Strom has lectured extensively throughout the Untied States and Europe and taught at NYU for the 4 years, where he created the course “Artist-Ethnographer Expeditionsâ. He is on the advisory board of the Center for Jewish Creativity, based in Los Angeles and an Artist-in-Residence in the Jewish Studies Program at San Diego State University. This is not your zadye's klezmer music!

Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1.

Maxwell St. Klezmer @ Summerdance

The 12th annual Chicago SummerDance series is organized and presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. This summer the Spirit of Music Garden in Grant Park becomes a unique outdoor urban dance space – the largest of its kind in the United States.

The Maxwell Street Klezmer Band, founded in 1983, brings a kaleidoscope of colors and moods and an old-fashioned spirit of fun to their performance of traditional Jewish music. The combination of dance music, folk songs, theatre medleys and jazzy Yiddish pop music from the 1930's to the 1950's creates a rich, multi-dimensional experience of the lost world of Eastern European Jewish culture, combined with vignettes of America as seen through immigrant eyes. Audiences of all backgrounds are delighted by Maxwell Street's high-energy performances that glow with warmth and humor.

Dance lessons by Steve Weintraub begin at 6pm, Music at 7pm. FREE!

Yiddish Summer Weimar world-premiere, Krakow, Poland, July 2, 2008

World-Premiere Concert of “The Other Europeans” project, with Kalman Balogh (director of the Roma band, cimbalom, Budapest), Alan Bern (project director, director of the Yiddish band, piano/accordion, Berlin) Dan Blacksberg (trombone), Paul Brody (trumpet, Berlin), Marin Bunea (violin, Chisinau), Christian Dawid (clarinet, Berlin), Matt Darriau (flute, Brooklyn), Csaba Novak (bass, Budapest) Petar Ralchev (accordion, Plovdiv), Stas Rayko (violin, Hamburg), Adrian Recean (clarinet, Paris), Mark Rubin (tuba, Austin), Guy Schalom (drums, London), Adam Stinga (trumpet, Chisinau).

In London, Berlin, Paris, and other centers of “world music” today, mixtures of klezmer, Roma, and Balkan musics are hot in the dance clubs. Does a deeper relationship exist among these musics, or is this just the latest pop music trend? “The Other Europeans,” created and directed by Alan Bern, sets out to explore the common roots of Yiddish and Roma music in Moldavia, Wallachia, and as far as Istanbul in the early 20th century. The project brings together 14 internationally renowned musicians to create two new bands – one Yiddish and one Roma. A two-year project, in 2008, the two bands will choose a common Moldo-Wallachian repertoire but play separately, focusing on what makes Yiddish and Roma styles unique from each other.

On July 2, Krakow audiences will be the first to hear the exciting results of this process in a double concert featuring both bands.

Don't miss the fireworks at the world premier concert of The Other Europeans!

di bostoner klezmer, New Bedform, MA, Jul 17, 2008

Free concert by di bostoner klezmer on Thursday, 7/17, 6:30 p.m. at New Bedford Whaling National Park, 33 William Street, New Bedford (for directions: www.nps.gov/nebe/planyourvisit/directions.htm

There's a Jewish connection to this area's whaling—a shnayder (shoemaker) supplied materials, and after the demise of the industry, the whaling captains used to hang around his shop and reminisce. We'll play original tunes composed by all three members (a world-premier of one of them!) and promise mostly rollicking and a couple of reflective moments.

Aug 8-10
Dieser Workshop (Englisch und Deutsch) ist für zwei unterschiedliche Gruppen von Teilnehmern konzipiert:

a) Folkmusiker mit etwas Kenntnissen von Musiktheorie, die die Grundlagen dazu kennen und verstehen lernen wollen und

b) klassisch ausgebildete Musiker, die möglicherweise viel über (klassische) Musiktheorie wissen, dieses aber für Folkmusik nutzbar machen möchten.

Intensives Klezmer-Ensemble-Coaching mit Kurt Bjorling
Aug 8-11
Kurt Bjorling ist für seine fundierten Kenntnisse zur Geschichte des Klezmers und dessen Stilistik, für seinen Unterrichtsstil und sein Wissen um die Spieltechnik aller Instrumente innerhalb eines Klezmerensembles bekannt. Tatsächlich haben nicht wenige Violinisten und Tsimbalisten wie auch Klarinettisten Nuancen des Klezmers von ihm gelernt. Dieser Workshop (Englisch) bietet eine intensive und fokussierte Untersuchung von Klezmerrepertoire und -Stil auf einem Mittelstufen-Level an, das auch erfahrene und fortgeschrittene Musiker als sehr bereichernd empfinden werden.

Josh Horowitz & Cookie Segelstein, Madison, CT, 11 Jan 2009

On Sunday Jan. 11, 2009 at 1:30pm, Friends of Scranton Library invite you to
kick off the new year with an energetic musical program by The
Horowitz-Segelstein Duo at Scranton Library, 801 Post Rd., in Madison, CT. Cookie
Segelstein
and Josh Horowitz, both accomplished and celebrated local
musicians, carry on the ancient tradition of klezmer in an unbound,
energetic village style playing Jewish instrumental music of historical
Eastern Europe. These two musicians represent a new generation of players of
Klezmer music which reaches back at least 125 years in time to Eastern
European Jews and traditional folk music using familiar and possibly
unfamiliar instruments—the tsimbl, a 19th century Button Accordion and a
violin. Program is free and open to the public of all ages. Light
refreshments will be served. Handicapped accessible. For directions to
Scranton Library or to RSVP, please call (203) 245-7365.

"exhilarating, full-flavoured stuff, often breath-takingly intricate but played with jubilation—the Bagel acquires the momentum of an express train"—The Herald

Rip-roaring, foot-stomping, traditional Jewish music fused with Balkan gypsy folk, jazz and Middle Eastern rhythms—all delivered with dazzling musicality and panache! Full of warmth and good humour, this highly danceable music is big on rhythm and alive with energy—little wonder their concerts are always so popular. Exhilarating both to hear and watch, catch this exciting klezmer/Balkan groove from some of Scotland's finest musicians.

“KLEZMERQUERQUE” Albuquerque New Mexico’s annual Klezmer music and dance festival celebrates its seventh year February 12-15, 2009 (Presidents Day weekend).
On Saturday morning, February 14th from 9:30am-11:00am the Strauss Warschauer Duo will lead “SHABBOS, MUSIC AND YIDDISH”, a hands-on workshop of Hassidic Niggunim (melodies) and Yiddish Sabbath songs for singers and instrumentalists. No previous experience necessary. All ages, levels and backgrounds welcome. Brin Ingber will teach dances from the Eastern European Jewish wedding repertoire including Rebbe Elimelech tanz and Kayzad merakdim. Classes cost $20-general and $16 for seniors, students and fixed income. From noon-2pm there will be a catered lunch. After the catered luncheon Brin Ingber will present "Why Jews Aren't Just People of the Book" with rare and historic dance illustrations and music for Jewish dance in far flung communities through the ages. Following her powerpoint presentation there will be time for questions. The price for the ‘Lunch ‘n Presentation’ is an $8-$15 suggested donation.

The dance will be accompanied by the chanting of Brin Ingber’s sister Rabbi Deborah Brin, who is also the Rabbi of Congregation Nahalat Shalom. “Roles Not Taken” a dance combining music theatre, ballet and Israeli folk dance presents a surprising view on issues of Jewish identity. The evening culminates with a concert by the Strauss/Warschauer Duo, “Dem Fideles Neshome” (The Fiddle’s Soul) and a dance party. Brin Ingber will also lead dances that she taught in her morning class. Price for this event is $18-in advance and $20-general, $18-seniors and students at the door.

"The Other Seder Songs", London, UK, 26 Mar 2009

The Other Seder Songs
Thursday 26th March, 7:30pm

Los Desterrados, Oi Va Voi and the Yiddish Twist Orchestra will rock out the JCC's Other Seder. For the third consecutive year, we present our unique take on the Seder, as each band performs a song inspired by the after-dinner songs as the launching point for their set.

Cualos son los uno
Six-piece Los Desterrados, who released their third album, Miradores at the end of 2008, bring their mix of ladino, flamenco, Moorish and Gypsy flavours to the Seder.

"Los Des take the Medieval music of the Sephardic Jews, with its strong Latin influences, and drag it effortlessly into the 21st Century with lashings of Spanish folk and Balkan Soul to deliver a series of rousing, melancholic songs that pulse with rhythm and feeling" (London Metro)

Adir Hu
London's superfly klezmer / punk / gypsy outfit Oi Va Voi give us a sneak preview of their forthcoming third album, Traveling the Face of the Globe.

"Kudos, culture, vision.Oi Va Voi. Remember the name"YTO Merlin
(Evening Standard)

Chad Gadya
The JCC's own creation, the fabulous Yiddish Twist Orchestra, will set the dance floor swinging with their hard-dancing, pulp fiction style 50s and 60s Yiddish surf twist!

Hosted by Judy Batalion and accompanied by the tunes of DJ Max Reinhardt and visuals by imagician Miki Shaw, The Other Seder Songs returns to the beautiful Wilton's Music Hall for a night of music and dance.

Hankus Netsky Presents The Music of Morris Hollender, Waltham, MA, 5 Apr 2009

Hankus Netsky, courtesy National Yiddish Book CenterHankus Netsky Presents The Music of Morris Hollender

On Sunday, April 5th at 4PM Temple Beth Israel of Waltham will sponsor a concert featuring nigunim, klezmer tunes, cantorials, and Yiddish folk songs from the repertoire of Morris Hollender, the temple’s long-time baal t’file (lay cantor) and baal korey (Torah reader). The concert, organized by local musician, ethnomusicologist, and Temple member Hankus Netsky, will feature prominent local singers and the twenty-piece New England Conservatory Jewish Music Ensemble.

Originally from Carpato-Ruthenia, Morris Hollender’s father, uncle, and brothers were all renowned for their singing and their knowledge of nigunim (melodies) from local and legendary Hassidic rabbis and traditional cantors. A survivor of Auschwitz and a former resident of postwar Czechoslovakia, Mr. Hollender emigrated to America with his wife, Edith (also a survivor) in 1968. The April 5th concert is the result of Hankus Netsky’s ongoing work with the Mr. Hollender through the National Yiddish Book Center’s “Discovery Project,” an activist Jewish cultural recovery project that he directs. “It is extraordinary to have the opportunity to bring this precious Jewish musical legacy back to life, and to be able to pass these treasures on our students and to the general public,” says Netsky.

Temple Beth Israel is located at 25 Harvard St.
in Waltham, one block from Main St. on the 70 bus line. Tickets are $10 (a special $5 rate is available for Beth Israel members). The synagogue is fully handicapped accessible. For more information call 781 894 5146, or contact the temple at www.tbiwaltham.org. Group discounts are also available.

Yom, New King of Klezmer Clarinet, Paris, France, 9 Apr 2009

YOM, NEW KING OF KLEZMER CLARINET
EN CONCERT AU NEW MORNING
LE 9 AVRIL 2009 A 20H30
+ invités (Wang Li et Farid D.)

BÉNÉFICIEZ D'UN TARIF RÉDUIT: 15 EUROS AU LIEU DE 20 EUROS

Présentation :
Reconnu comme un des grands Virtuoses de la clarinette
Klezmer, Yom rend hommage dans son premier album solo au pionnier
génial et mégalomaniaque du klezmer new-yorkais dans les années 20,
autoproclamé "King of Klezmer Clarinet"; Naftule Brandwein.

Le quartet (Denis Cuniot, piano; Alexandre Giffard, Tapan et Benoît
Giffard, Trombone) se pose comme une des grandes références,
virevoltant entre une écriture débridée et l'improvisation constante
des thèmes, entre virtuosité, spiritualité, émotivité et une vélocité à
toute épreuve; l'essence du klezmer.

Remarqué avec la sortie de son premier album ainsi que par son passage
à Nanterre avec l’ « Empereur » de la clarinette Giora Feidman, on le
verra cette saison au Orientales de St-Florent le Veil, à Jazz Sous les
Pommiers, Sziget Festival, Crest Jazz Vocal, Les Nuits Européennes et
les Nuits du Sud entre autres.

Avide de rencontres et de Création, c’est en compagnie de Wang Li
(Flûtes et Guimbardes chinoises) et de Farid D. (Violoncelle
Electrique) que Yom ouvrira en Duos intimistes les frontières du
Klezmer vers des horizons improbables et remplis d’une magie nouvelle.

Klezmer at the Lilypad, with a special emphasis on the Romanian roots of klezmer- some great Romanian tunes will be thrown into the mix. Also, we will be the Shirim Klezmer Quartet this month—core members Glenn Dickson, Michael, Eric & Jim, who have been playing together for longer than we can remember will be holding the klezmer fort alone this time. It should be a lot of fun. Bring your kids, bring your grandmother! The last show was packed, there was kozatski dancing and a line dance that went out onto the sidewalks of Cambridge! A real party! Let’s do it again!

Here are the details:

May 24, 2:00pm at the Lilypad, 1353 Cambridge St., Inman Square, Cambridge, MA Suggested donation, $10, $7/kids.

This special performance will feature the four members who have been with the band the longest: Glenn Dickson, clarinet; Michael McLaughlin, accordion; Jim Gray, tuba; and Eric Rosenthal, drums. They have been playing together for over 15 years and have a rapport and tightness that only comes with such experience together.

Fusing bluegrass and American roots music, avant-garde jazz, Jewish klezmer and Hassidic sources, Andy Statman has reached legendary status in the Jewish and non-Jewish music worlds. His virtuosity on the mandolin and clarinet garnered him a Grammy nomination in 2008 for Best Country Music Instrumental. He has collaborated with celebrated artists across the music world, including Itzhak Perlman, Jerry Garcia and Bela Fleck. Andy infuses classic American sounds with spirituality and Jewish mysticism, creating a truly unique experience for audiences of all ages. Accompanied by Larry Eagle on drums and James Whitney on the bass, the Andy Statman Trio puts on a stunning and versatile show.

“a music [not] bound by denomination but a beautiful, vital sound full of heat, heart and a love of God.”
—Rolling Stone

“The moods range from joyously vibrant to darkly plaintive. A fascinating and moving mixture.”
—Jazz Times

This performance is funded by the Arthur Tracy “The Street Singer” Endowment Fund. Honoring the memory and musical legacy of Arthur Tracy—the renowned radio, stage and screen singer and entertainer whose talent delighted millions around the world—the arts programs supported by this fund continue Tracy’s ability to entertain for years to come.

Kabbalah déboule comme une comète dans le paysage musical actuel et crée à l’évidence un son nouveau.

Au melting pot de la cité phocéenne, antique carrefour des langues et des cultures, Kabbalah abreuve sa musique d’autant de tradition que de modernité, d’autant d’Orient que d’Occident. Ces 5 virtuoses réunissent ainsi en un même univers, musique klezmer, hip-hop, chants hassidiques et spoken word.

NEW KLEZMER MUSIC and IT ROCK’S !!!

Kabbalah déboule comme une comète dans le paysage musical actuel et crée à l’évidence un son nouveau.

Au melting pot de la cité phocéenne, antique carrefour des langues et des cultures, Kabbalah abreuve sa musique d’autant de tradition que de modernité, d’autant d’Orient que d’Occident. Ces 5 virtuoses réunissent ainsi en un même univers, musique klezmer, hip-hop, chants hassidiques et spoken word.

Amy Horvey, well known as a contemporary music and klezmer trumpeter, will present her debut solo CD "Interview". The product of several years of research and live performance, "Interview" represents a collaboration featuring composers Cecilia Arditto, Anna Hostman, Ryan Purchase (renowned as the trombonist of the Lithuanian Empire) and Jeff Morton.

"Migration", by the string trio Cordame, combines musical explorations of sonic images with an unusual sensuality and sensitivity. Featuring Jean Falix Mailloux (double bass), Marie-Neige Lavigne (violin), and Julie Odile Gauthier-Morin (cello), accompanied by Rami Giguare (guitar) as well as Pierre Tanguay and Ziya Tabassian (percussion).

In the new CD by Nozen, a quartet of "ultraspace surfers" ride a wave of Jewish music and contemporary jazz, formed by Damian Nisenson (sax/composition), Bernard Falaise (guitar), Jean Falix Mailloux (bass), and Pierre Tanguay (drums).

Selections from the CDs to be launched will be performed on October 28th. Performances by other artists from the Malasartes Musique label will also take place, including Ironiko Orchestra, Bomata, and the Jean-Marc Habert Quartet.

Isle of Klezbos sextet performs in concert for the 36th Anniversary of Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, synagogue for NYC's LGBT Jews, family & friends.

Au melting pot de la cité phocéenne, antique carrefour des langues et des cultures, Kabbalah abreuve sa musique d’autant de tradition que de modernité, d’autant d’Orient que d’Occident. Ces 5 virtuoses réunissent ainsi en un même univers, musique klezmer, hip-hop, chants hassidiques et spoken word.

Barbès, 8pm and 10pm www.barbesbrooklyn.com Corner of 6th Ave and 7th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn A Purely Coincidental Night of Klezmer.

Lazarus Quartet, NYC, 27 Dec 2009

My name is Ben Holmes, I'm a trumpet player based in Brooklyn, NY. I've recently starting leading my own Klezmer/Eastern European/Jazz group called "the Lazarus Quartet".

Our repertoire draws heavily on the recorded works of Dave Tarras and Naftule Brandwein. We also perform material from the Bulgarian, Greek and Turkish musical traditions. My mission with the band is to present this music in a way that's reflective of my experiences as a Jazz musician living in New York, so there is a lot of improvisation and spontaneity on stage. The Lazarus Quartet is Ben Holmes (trumpet), Uri Sharlin (accordion), Dan Loomis (bass) and Jeff Davis (drums).

Night Songs from a Neighboring Village
JULIAN KYTASTY & MICHAEL ALPERT IN CONCERT
Ballads, Folksongs, and Instrumental Music from the
Ukrainian and East European Jewish Traditions

Friday, February 12th, 7pm
The Ukrainian Museum
222 East 6th Street, NYC
(between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)

"Night Songs from a Neighboring Village" brings together two musical traditions that have existed side by side in Ukraine for centuries, influencing each other profoundly. Join us for an evening of East European Jewish and Ukrainian music and song, presented comparatively by two of the finest performers in both traditions: internationally acclaimed Yiddish singer and klezmer multi-instrumentalist/composer Michael Alpert and internationally renowned singer/composer/master of the Ukrainian bandura, Julian Kytasty.

The program draws from the rich legacy of Ukrainian folk and liturgical song, the virtuosic art of the bandura (Ukrainian harp-lute), klezmer music, Yiddish folksong, and the music of the Hasidim. A first version of "Night Songs" was created to accompany the "Tracing An-sky" exhibition at New York's Jewish Museum. Since 1993, Alpert and Kytasty have performed the program internationally as a duo, in the company of other musicians, and in an ensemble version with Brave Old World and Paris-to-Kyiv.

Admission $15 for adults, with discounts for seniors/members.
For reservations call 212-228-0110. Reception to follow.

Big on rhythm and alive with energy, this is rip-roaring traditional Jewish music fused with Balkan gypsy folk, jazz and Middle Eastern rhythms. Brought to you by five of the best instrumentalists Scotland has to offer, this highly danceable, foot-stomping klezmer/Balkan groove is delivered with impressive technique and great style. Full of life and completely fearless, these fantastic musicians have a great sense of humour and are a real joy to be entertained by.

With a diverse and accomplished lineup of Philly musicians, West Philadelphia Orchestra is an unusual and exciting ensemble in today's musical world. They began playing music from Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and the klezmer traditions in late 2006, and have continued expanding and refining their sound and repertoire ever since. The band now plays original material that explores and experiments with traditional sounds, which can be heard on their 2008 release 'WPO.' As much a community as a band, WPO's performances are celebratory events. With their pounding drums and shimmering brass sounds, they inspire audiences to hold hands, dance, and sing along. Joined by trumpeter and vocalist Susan Watts, the West Philadelphia (Klezmer) Orchestra - a 6 piece ensemble with clarinetist Larry Goldfinger, trombonist Dan Blacksberg, pianist Adrian Banner, sousaphonist Jim Parker, and Gregg Mervine on drums - will play klezmer and Yiddish songs.

Trompette, clarinette et flûte en tête, si Untchak Attak c’est seulement dans l’intention louable de remuer quelques derrières, d’enflammer quelques danses, voire d’amener à la transe. Mais point de crainte, contrebasse, guitare, sax bar et grosse caisse assurent les arrières et si le tempo s’emballe c’est que la musique cavale.

Quand Untchak Attak, c’est toute la Méditerranée et les Carpates qui montent au créneau ; Grecs, Tziganes, Ashkénazes et autres Yougos s’emmêlent en rythme (malgré eux ?) pour un sirtaki en accéléré, un blues qui voit rouge, un freilach qui pleure pour mieux en rire.

A Klezmer Wedding Celebration with Kugelplex
Thursday, June 3, 6:00pm-7:30pm, Free
Jessie Square (Mission between 3rd and 4th Streets, San Francisco)

With Kugelplex, the Bay Area's most rockin' purveyor of old world Klezmer, join the wedding procession of Sharon and Amber into a madcap whirl of clapping, stomping and easy to follow dances led by Klezmer dance maven, Bruce Bierman. Enjoy the vocals of celebrated recording artist, Jewlia Eisenberg, and the comic antics of David Rosenfeld-as we celebrate love in a circle of dancing community.

Kugelplex will be celebrating marriage equality for all with a blowout dance party featuring our dear friends, Sharon and Amber, recently married when it was legal, and now very active in the fight for marriage equality. They are both wonderful spokespeople for legalizing same sex marriage. Unable to dance for their wedding ceremony at the time and because klezmer music and dance have their deepest roots in the Jewish wedding celebration, this will be the party we had always wanted to give them.

Let's Go Dance@Jessie is a free monthly open-air dance party in Jessie Square in front of the Contemporary Jewish Museum and next to St. Patrick's Church in downtown San Francisco on the First Thursday of each month from May to October from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. The series offers dance lessons and music from today's best Bay Area artists.

Beyond the PaleBeyond the Pale

Saturday June 5, 2010, 7:30pm
Koerner Hall, TELUS Centre for Performing Arts
273 Bloor St West, Toronto

Beyond the Pale will perform for the first time at Toronto's beautiful new downtown concert space Koerner Hall, as special guests with the Toronto Children's Chorus. The concert will feature the TCC in a program entitled "Around the World in 80 Minutes," a musical journey from Canada and the United States, to Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, and New Zealand. Featured composers include Srul Irving Glick, Allister MacGillivray, Paul Halley, Morten Lauridsen, Krzysztof Penderecki, Richard Oswin ... and BTP's own Martin van de Ven. Martin was commissioned to create a new piece for BTP with the TCC. The composition "Being Margolia," is based on the life of Manya Lipshitz, who grew up in a children's commune in 1920's Russia before moving to Canada, where she became a Yiddish teacher and an early member of the leftist Jewish community of Camp Naivelt. Still functioning today, Camp Naivelt's current corps of children engaged in an extended study of Manya's life 2 summers ago, connecting her social justice values and distinctly Yiddish worldview to their own 21st century lives. Martin's involvement in the original project led to the new composition, whose text was created by Ruth Howard of Jumblies Theatre.

BTP will also perform a short set of some of its own tunes within the concert.

NYBC Paper Bridge Fest: Hankus Netsky & Branches, Amherst, MA, 12 Jul 2010

NYBC Paper Bridge Festival logoOne of the most special New England events occurs not during the Fall leaf-gawking season, but in mid-July—starting today, in fact—when the National Yiddish Book Center opens its annual "Paper Bridge" festival, a week-long celebration of Yiddishkeit with lectures, workshops, film screenings, and of course, Jewish music new and old.

This year features two special exhibits, Mayer Kirshenblatt's paintings in a traveling exhibit titled: "They Call Me Mayer July" (so what more appropriate month!??). I am a major fan of the exhibit, and of his pictures, which capture life in pre-Holocaust Poland in a way that is both sweet and yet eschews the shmalzification of the period. Kirshenblatt's exhibit is balanced by a look at "Esn! Jews and Food in America. It's a hard combo to beat. [Off-topic, I note that the Jewish Women's Archive, where I work, has recently begun featuring regular guest blogs—is that an oxymoron?—on food and new kosher recipes. Yummy!

What matters most to KlezmerShack readers, of course, is that there will be music. Amazing music. New music. Tonight its Hankus Netsky's new ensemble, Branches, "… that uses Jewish musical tradition as a point of departure for creative exploration, performing repertoire drawn from klezmer, Yiddish theater, and cantorial traditions, along with new compositions and improvisations based on Yiddish poetry and other sources."

The festival finale, and another absolutely-must-see evening is the East Coast premiere of Veretski Pass's new piece, The Klezmer Shul. "Inspired by the synagogues of pre-war Eastern Europe, The Klezmer Shul is rooted in Jewish liturgical melodic principles and emotionals intonations. This four-movement instrumental suite transmits the emotional power of synagogue singing without the use of words, incorporating elements of jazz, avant-garde, classical, klezmer, and folk music."

Jewish Art for the New Millennium: 3 Alicias 3

Evening of Music and Poetry with Alicia Svigals, Alicia Ostriker, and Alicia Jo Rabins
Curated by Jake Marmer and Dan Friedman

Tuesday Aug 24th @ 7.00pm
325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd avenue)
$8 cover

The evening will feature these acclaimed artists who represent eclectic genres, mediums and generations. Each will perform a set, then all three will come together in a collaborative work, and finally, a panel discussion will follow.

Alicia Svigals, violinist/composer, a founder of the Klezmatics and of the all-women band Mikveh, is considered by many to be the world’s foremost klezmer fiddler. During the past decade, she almost singlehandedly revived klezmer fiddle playing, which came close to extinction in this century; traditional klezmer violin style is now being played again by hundreds of her students, including most of today’s best professional players. She taught and toured with violinist Itzhak Perlman, who recorded her compositions as duets with Ms. Svigals accompanied by the Klezmatics. She is a past winner of the first prize at the Safed Klezmer Festival. “She is without question the greatest living exponent of the klezmer fiddle…” - Seth Rogovoy, author of The Essential Klezmer. See www.aliciasvigals.com.

Alicia Ostriker is a major American poet and critic. Twice nominated for a National Book Award, she is author of twelve volumes of poetry, most recently “The Book of Seventy” (2009), which won the Jewish Book Award for Poetry. As a critic Ostriker is the author of two path-breaking volumes on women’s poetry, “Writing Like a Woman and Stealing the Language: The Emergence of Women’s Poetry in America.” Ostriker has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Poetry Society of America, the San Francisco State Poetry Center, the Judah Magnes Museum, the New Jersey Arts Council, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is Professor Emerita of Rutgers University and is a faculty member of the New England College Low-Residency Poetry MFA Program. Ostriker has taught in the Princeton University Creative Writing Program and in Toni Morrison’s Atelier Program. She has taught midrash writing workshops in the USA, Israel, England and Australia. See www.rci.rutgers.edu.

Alicia Jo Rabins is a fiddler, singer, songwriter, and poet living in Brooklyn, NY. She has toured Central America as a cultural ambassador for the United States. A regular fiddler with Golem, her own band, Girls in Trouble, plays art-pop songs about women in the Torah. “An entrancing one-woman string quartet” — The Forward. Check out Alicia’s Girls in Trouble Project here: www2.myspace.com/girlsintroublemusic.

Eatala: A Life In Klezmer: New documentary premiere & concert honors Elaine Watts and four generations of Philadelphia Jewish musicians
WHO: Elaine Hoffman Watts, Susan Lankin Watts & band
WHAT: Premiere of new documentary about a ground-breaking woman & concert of klezmer music from waltzes to freylechs, representing the legacy of four generations of Jewish musicians (Hoffman family) renowned in Philadelphia
WHEN: December 4, 2010 at 7:30 PM (Tickets: $10 - $30 through http://crossroadsconcerts.org)
WHERE: Crossroads Music / 801 S. 48th Street (Produced by the Philadelphia Folklore Project)

Tickets ($10 - $30) are available through Crossroads Music (http://crossroadsconcerts.org/)

“The documentary Eatala: A Life in Klezmer is a loving portrait of Elaine Hoffman Watts, a renowned klezmer percussionist. The film shows how Elaine (her Yiddish name is “Eatala”), a feisty and determined musician, has broken barriers—as a musician, a working mother, and in her persistent devotion to her family’s klezmer music. Drawing on performance footage, family movies, historic photographs, and interviews, Eatala traces a klezmer tradition sustained over four generations in a single family— with a good dose of humor and joy. Eatala features performances by Elaine Hoffman Watts, Susan Lankin Watts and an all-star klezmer band with Josh Dolgin, Jay Krush, Rachel Lemisch, Hankus Netsky, Henry Sapoznik, and Carmen Staaf. Directed by Barry Dornfeld and Debora Kodish. Produced by the Philadelphia Folklore Project.

A klezmer concert featuring Elaine and Susan Watts and other musicians follows the screening. A special reception with refreshments for Chanukah will conclude this evening celebrating the accomplishments of some extraordinary Philadelphia musicians.

Klezmerfest! ft. Greg Wall
Sixth Street Synagogue: 325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd Ave), NYC

Klezmerfest! is a outstanding klezmer band in the great Eastern European tradition. They have been delighting audiences for years at such venues as the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Eldridge Street Project, the Knitting Factory, and synagogues and schools throughout the Northeast. Featuring some of the top musicians in the New York area, they have two CDs out and are a great example of the New York klezmer/hasidic sound as played by such groups as the Epsteins, Beckerman, and Rudy Tepel. With Greg Wall-clarinet, Jordan Hirsch – cornet, Zevy Zions- accordion, Brian Glassman-bass, and Aaron Alexander- drums, as klezmer giant Pete Sokolow says in the liner notes to their most recent recording: “Make no mistake, dear listeners – this is the emese zakh (real thing)…… It is totally honest and completely true to the ideals of the music. It just doesn’t come any better.”

A Purely Coincidental Night of Klezmer. Featuring Ben Holmes (trumpet), Karen Waltuch (viola), Reuben Radding (bass), Uri Sharlin (accordion) & special guests. For the past two years, December 24th has proven to be an exceptionally lovely evening for klezmer, for no particular reason, really. The first concert certainly wasn't motivated by a book we found at an elementary school music program with the fascinating title of "Christmas Music for Everyone". This year, ditch the movie (but feel free to bring the Chinese food) and come to the continuation of the klezmer coincidence for a delightful evening of music, dancing and drink. Sets at 8 PM & 10 PM, $10 suggested.

"Good for the Jews," Klezmatics, Joshua Nelson, 11 Jan, 2011

clueless attempt at 'Jewish' humorGood For The Jews: Jewish music for people who don't like Jewish music. No songs about dreidels. And no Israeli folk-dancing.

We're proud to announce that Good For The Jews will be playing our first NYC show in more than a year, with The Klezmatics and Joshua Nelson, on January 11, 2011.

Tickets are priced at $22 to $28. But because you're on the KlezmerShack calendar, you don't have to pay retail. Click on this link to buy tickets for only $15.

The Cell Theater
338 West 23rd Street

Jazz Talmud Quartet ft. Jake Marmer (voice), Greg Wall (sax), Rob Henke (trumpet), and Uri Sharlin (keys).

Jazz Talmud is a poetry and music project where poems mimic Talmudic rhetoric, style and turns of phrase, as they reflect on the contemporary Jewish experience, jazz, dreams, loneliness and more, while musicians,
acting as Talmud’s interpreters Rashi and Tosefot spontaneously riff on the spoken material and each other’s reaction to it.

Some video samples are here:

Fleytmusik with Adrianne Greenbaum & Pete Rushevsky, 6th Street Synagogue, NYC, 18 January 2011

Prior to the existence of the larger klezmer ensemble or kapelye that included brass and clarinets, the flute – a popular instrument of all varieties throughout world history – was often part of the smaller klezmer band; as one of the quieter instruments allowed in religious settings, it was an obvious partner with the violin and cimbalom. Early photos of larger bands show one or more flutes. These flutes were generally of the multi-keyed variety, a few Boehm-system, but mostly simple-system and/or what we now sometimes refer to as transitional.

Flutes played an important role taking the high melodic lines and fills in the early American bands of Art Shryer, Harry Kandel, and Abe Schwartz, to name but a few. Shloymke Kosch and Israel Chazin, employing exemplary tones and technical facility, are among the unfortunately all-too-few recorded flute soloists.

Adrianne performs on vintage wood instruments, returning the flute to its rightful place in the traditional small klezmer ensemble.

19.02.2011, 10.00- 14.30 Uhr

Klezmer, die Hochzeits- und Festmusik der osteuropäischen Juden, erlebt seit den siebziger Jahren eine weltweite Renaissance, und inzwischen werden auch die traditionellen Tänze wiederbelebt. Der größte Teil des Klezmer-Repertoires sind Gemeinschaftstänze. Hora, Sher, Khossidl und Freylekhs bieten mal langsam, mal schnell, schlängelnd und kreiselnd, aufregend abwechslungsreiche Formationen. Die Kreis- und Reihentänze, Karree-Formationen und Paartänze beruhen auf einfachen Grundschritten, so dass Neulinge schnell ins Tanzvergnügen einsteigen können.
Tänzerische Vorkenntnisse und paarweise Anmeldung sind nicht erforderlich.
Mit Live-Musik-Begleitung auf Klarinette und Akkordeon; die Kosten sind in der Kursgebühr enthalten.
Bitte mitbringen: flache Tanz-, Gymnastik- oder Jazz-Dance-Schuhe mit Ledersohlen (keine Straßenschuhe) und bequeme Kleidung.

Tickets: $22.50 advance / $24.50 at door

A klezmer show as part of Black History Month: what's up with that? Let Don Byron and his powerful band show you tonight, as they illuminate one of the many fruitful musical collaborations between the African American and Jewish communities--and knock your socks off into the bargain! (For further examples of such collaborations, look no further than the jazz of Benny Goodman and Johnny Mathis' famed rendition of "Kol Nidre.") This show is dedicated to the music of the late great Mickey Katz, clarinetist, Yiddish humorist, klezmer bandleader, and musical director for Spike Jones. Featuring tunes like "Haim Afen Range" ("Home on the Range") and "Seder Dance" (an amazing adaptation of Khachaturian's "Saber Dance"), the performance explores the full range of Mickey's virtuosity and wacky humor.

The Purim Edition


Happy Purim 2011, everybody! The Gonifs’ favorite Jewish holiday involves crossdressing, pranks, silliness, & getting so inebriated you can’t tell your friends from your enemies. Perfect for San Francisco! Come celebrate with us on Sunday, March 27, with costumes, revelry, feasting, noise, & a shoutout to the antihero Esther, who lived a lie to save Yiddish culture.

Aaron Kierbel (drums), Daniel Fabricant (bass), Darren Johnston (trumpet), Jeanette Lewicki (accordion, vocals, hyperbole), Peter Jaques (clarinet, legs).

Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu, Paris, France, 22 May 2011

CONCERT / CONCERT

Avec Lloica Czackis et Sorin Gheraliu
with Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu

Dimanche 22 mai à 19h00 / Sunday, May 22, 7.00 p.m.

à la Maison de la culture yiddish - Bibliothèque Medem
29, rue du Château d'Eau 75010 Paris

La musique du peuple juif reflète son mouvement perpétuel d’un pays à un autre, d’une culture à une autre, des langues, des expressions diverses...
La rencontre de Lloica Czackis et de Sorin Gheraliu est celle d’une chanteuse de la chanson yiddish, héritière d’une vie nomade dans sept pays, et d’un cymbaliste tsigane de la Roumanie issu d’une famille de grands musiciens de Balkans.
Cette rencontre est également un lointain souvenir de klezmorim juifs et tsiganes qui jouaient ensemble pour les autres, mais aussi pour eux-mêmes, dans un monde de l’Europe de l’est qui n’existe plus.

Leur langue commune est la musique. Leur musique parle plusieurs langues.

Depuis cinq ans, Lloica, accompagnée parfois de Sorin, anime musicalement les voyages culturels juifs organisés par Valiske.
Si vous avez participé à leurs voyages, venez au spectacle revivre l ’émotion musicale d’autrefois, si vous n’avez pas voyagé avec Valiske, venez pour un départ musical vers l’Espagne médiévale, la Pampa juive, les cabarets de Varsovie et New York des années 1920, vers la Russie... Leur programme inclut de magnifiques poèmes chantés en judéo-espagnol, de chansons pour des enfants de colonies agricoles juives en Argentine, du jazz newyorkais en yiddish, de chansons d’amour en hébreu, de la musique classique en français...

The music of the Jewish people reflects a perpetual motion from one country to another, one culture to another, various languages and modes of expression.

The stage shared by Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu is an encounter between a singer of Yiddish songs, with a nomad's heritage through seven countries and a Gypsy cymbalist from Rumania, descendent of a family of great Balkan musicians. It also recalls the distant memory of Jewish and Gypsy klezmorim who once played together in a world of Eastern Europe that no longer exists.

Their common language is music. Their music speaks various languages.

For the past five years, Lloica, sometimes accompanied by Sorin, have provided musical entertainment for Jewish cultural tours organized by Valiske.

If you have taken part in their trips, come and relive the past emotion. If you have never traveled with Valiske, come and discover a musical journey through medieval Spain, the Jewish pampas, the cabarets of Warsaw and New York in the 1920s, to far off Russia... Their program includes poems sung in Judeo-Spanish ("Ladino"), children's songs from the Jewish farming colonies of Argentina, New York jazz in Yiddish, as well as love songs in French and Hebrew.

P. A. F. / Admission : 15 €. Membres / Members : 12 €.

Réservation obligatoire au 01 47 00 14 00.

New World Premieres and Old World Chestnuts

Concert by The The Casco Bay Tummlers klezmer band
Saturday, June 4th at 7 p.m.
at the Frontier Cafe, 14 Maine St - Fort Andross, Brunswick, Maine

Join us in the casual atmosphere of the Frontier Cafe where you can enjoy supper or a drink and share new and old music with The Casco Bay Tummlers. The Casco Bay Tummlers have been playing Jewish music from around the world in their personal, engaging style to audiences in Maine and well beyond for over twenty years. It's been a while since they've performed in the mid-coast area so they are happy to be presenting a concert of new repertoire - including a film score by flutist/guitarist Carl Dimow - along with some of the classic klezmer tunes that have endeared them to their fans.

You can look forward to hearing colorful instrumentation - Carl on flute, bass flute, electric and acoustic guitars, Phil McGowan on drum set and ethnic percussion, Julie Goell on bass and vocals, Nancy 3. Hoffman on accordion and vocals and Steve Gruverman on sax and clarinet - and contrasting styles: jazzy improvisation, witty show tunes, Middle Eastern grooves and, of course, soulful klezmer interpretations, some reflective and some that will tempt you to get up and dance.

The Tummlers are pleased to note that Carl's film compositions were funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Food, wine and beer for sale at concert.

+ homemade pickles by Mike Perlmutter!

at Yoshi's SF Lounge

1330 Fillmore San Francisco
Wed, Jul 27 9:00PM - 12:30 AM ; $10

Dance and listen to two very distinctive and adventurous takes on Eastern European folk music!

Klezmer music was made for dancing. Join Klezmer dance maven Bruce Bierman as he fits the moves of the ancestors to the grooves of your own imagination.

Zoyres performs original and Eastern European traditional music (klezmer, Balkan, etc.), approaching these from both a "€œtraditional"€ and stretched out /experimental framework.

Veretski Pass offers a unique and exciting combination of virtuosic musicianship and raw energy that has excited concertgoers across the world. The trio plays Old Country Music with origins in the Ottoman Empire, once fabled as the borderlands of the East and the West. . . .

Deb Strauss and Jeff Warschauer's performances are an integrated and intimate blend of songs, translations and instrumental music ­ grounded in tradition, yet thoroughly contemporary. They draw from Klezmer, Yiddish, Hasidic and liturgical music and culture, adding their own original compositions and song settings. As they sing and play in shifting combinations of violin, guitar, mandolin and accordion, they create a dynamic atmosphere with an exceptional range of feeling ­ from delicate and refined to exuberant and foot-stomping. Deborah Strauss will be leading dancing for all who wish to join in! Hank Savin, Teller of Jewish stories opens the show.

L’AVENIR DE LA MUSIQUE KLEZMER

L’ARTICHAUT ORKESTRA : T for Teresa

LE STUDIO DE L’ERMITAGE
8 rue de l’ermitage 75020 PARIS

Location : fnac, Digitick

Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).

Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).

Concert préfacé par Estelle Goldfarb & special guests : Ezra (beatbox) et Olivier Koundouno (cello)

Estelle Goldfarb fait corps avec son violon. C’est ainsi depuis toute petite. Elle eût pu rester dans le giron du classique, la destinée naturelle
d’une violoniste, ou bien enflammer les mariages, les baptêmes, bref, les fêtes, orientales, juives, tziganes... ou encore jammer avec tout ce qui groove. Mais voilà, Estelle chante. Pas elle, son violon, en fait, ça revient au même... Ses notes ont le poids des mots. Tout l’inspire, ses humeurs, ses
élans, son monde. Et LE monde, surtout. Elle travaille à façon : elle dessine les mélodies, coud les rythmes, brode les arrangements. Des envolées souvent lyriques sur canapé électro, pour tisser pleins et déliés du violon sur tapis synthétique. Histoire de mailler éternité et futurisme. Estelle Goldfarb prend son envol solo, que les cieux lui soient cléments

$15-30 suggested donation,
no one turned away for lack of funds
Advance tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com

The internationally-acclaimed and Bay Area based Red Hot Chachkas infuse the klezmer tradition of Eastern European Yiddish music with jazz, rock, oldtime, classical, and latin influences. Their hot sound and uptempo beat has folks up dancing. Bandleader and classical violinist Julie Egger is joined by seasoned musicians from disparate backgrounds: soulful Barbara Speed (clarinet), balkanized Diana Strong (accordion), bluegrass Tony Phillips (mandolin), jazzy Breck Diebel (bass), and rockin' Michael Arrow (drums).

Cradle Duende presents a combination of klezmer and flamenco, 'klezmenco,' with an infusion of reggae and cumbia dance rhythms. Cradle Duende takes its name from the Spanish word 'duende,' in reference to a musically heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity; and a merging of disparate musical traditions that each evolved from independent cradles of civilization. Cradle Duende brings the strength of deep cultural roots into the party atmosphere.

Skokie, IL

Bohemian Cabaret ensemble Vagabond Opera is described by the Washington Post as "A band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic."

The group delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer and vigorous originals meet a world of riverboat gambling queens, Turkish belly dancers, and the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich. Weaving elements of Kurt Weil, Duke Ellington and Edith Piaf with absurdist flair, theatrics and an old world mood, Vagabond Opera presents the new wave of opera–lusty voices singing in 13 languages and presenting a cabaret of rich musical phrasing, sparkling lyrics and indomitable stage presence, all played with exuberance, skill and a gritty Vagabond edge. This is Opera liberated and reinvented for everyone!

Le klezmer est la musique que les baladins juifs ont colportée de fête en fête et de shtetl (bourgade) en ghetto dans toute l’Europe de l’Est depuis le Moyen Âge.

Bercé dans la liturgie, nourri de mélodies extatiques hassidiques et de chants profanes, il s'est encanaillé dans les auberges et enrichi de théâtre et de danses populaires. En symbiose avec les musiques slaves, tsiganes et ottomanes, il a acquis une diversité et une richesse d'expression incomparables.

Avec ses variations de rythme, ses dissonances, ses ornementations et une touche d’improvisation, le klezmer incite à la spiritualité et à la danse en exprimant toutes les émotions: joie et tristesse, recueillement, amour ou ivresse, sans oublier l'humour… juif!

Extirpé d’Europe, par le nazisme et le stalinisme, il s'est bouturé au jazz en Amérique avant de redevenir populaire dans le monde entier.

Perpétuant la tradition sans la figer, GOYLEM ! joue depuis 1996 ses compositions originales et de nombreux thèmes klezmer, arrangés à sa façon et parfois métissés de chants séfarades, de musique classique et de swing…

Sunday, November 6 at 2 PM
Kligerman-Greenspun Performance Hall
National Yiddish Book Center,
Amherst, MA

The concert will explore the music, history, and stories about musician Dave Tarras—the “Benny Goodman” of klezmer clarinet. Hot Pstromi’s sound—a fusion of traditional klezmer, new Jewish music, Gypsy, hasidic, world beat, and Balkan music—is unique and celebrated. Bandleader Yale Strom (violin) is the world’s leading ethnographer-artist of klezmer music, culture and history. His prodigious klezmer research was instrumental in helping form the repertoire of Hot Pstromi.

כנורkēnòr will be performing at the

Lancaster Jewish Community Center, Oregon Pike

Lancaster, Pennsylvania

November 6th 2011, 2:00pm

כנורkēnòr is four musical listeners, playing violin, double bass, guitar and drums.

Together, they will be performing a selection of jazz standards and Jewish tunes, following contemporary jazz practice, including tastefully performed heads, sensitive ensemble, and insightful improvised solos.

Members

Christopher Brooks, violin, is former concertmaster of Orquesta Bética Filarmónica de Sevilla (Spain) and the Harrisburg Symphony, and violinist with the Susquehanna String Quartet. Brooks draws from deep classical and Jewish roots in his thoughtful and soulful improvisations.

Pete Bainbridge, bass ‘viol, supports the ensemble with a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation as well as offering tantalizing, free-ranging solos.

Jon Kunkle’s classically-trained and jazz-inspired electric guitar engoldens the sound of the ensemble, both while tastefully supporting the melody and during his elegant solos.

Dave Young has played drums with every important jazz musician in the region. Young has the rare ability to stitch an ensemble together, creating a whole much more than its parts.

Merita Halili thrills audiences with her masterful rendition of Albanian folk music. Known in her homeland as the "Queen of Albanian folk songs" and highly esteemed for her stunning voice, range and vocal technique, the award-winning vocalist is accompanied by her husband, Raif Hyseni, whose innovations and compositions for accordion have garnered praise for his "speed demon accordion." With an ensemble that also includes clarinet, guitar, keyboard and percussion, Merita Halili and Raif Hyseni will astound you with their vocal and instrumental artistry.

The Michael Winograd Trio, with Patrick Farrell, Benjy Fox Rosen and Michael Winograd, features three major voices in the international contemporary Klezmer community. Performing new music and reimagined traditional and folk music, this ensemble aims to present a fresh way of listening to and enjoying the rich genre of Yiddish music. Drawing on a variety of influences, Winograd's new trio provides a full and genuine experience of Klezmer and Yiddish song. Dr. Joel Rubin, clarinetist, said, "Perhaps the leading voice of the younger generation of performers and composers within klezmer."

Zoyres & Charming Hostess: Holiday show with winter songs (and sauerkraut!).

Charming Hostess makes lovely noise about complex ideas is at the intersection of voice, text and diaspora consciousness. Their music is based on the sounding body: voices and winds, handclaps and heartbeats, sex-breath and silence. They are known for their whirl of eerie harmony, hot rhythm, and radical smarts. This holiday show will feature winter songs of darkness, joy and mystery. Charming Hostess is also presenting music from their installation, The Bowls Project (Tzadik, 2010). Based on inscriptions from Babylonian Jewish amulets known as "demon bowls," The Bowls Project sings of sex, ritual and secrets of the home. File under: APOCALYPTIC-INTIMATE

Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment performs original and Eastern European traditional music (klezmer, Balkan, etc.), approaching these from both a “traditional” and stretched out /experimental framework. The name "Zoyres" derives from the Yiddish term for fermented vegetables, "zoyers." These foods have been transformed by culture and community (of the microbial sort) through incredible biochemical fermentation processes. These "cultural" transformations underlie our own cultural development, as humans have relied and reveled in fermented foods for millennia. Zoyres' music represents the geo-social analogue to the biochemical ferment. Our music, of Eastern European origin, brined in the contemporary cultural milieu, is akin to the pickle, still evident in its cucumbral origin, but with a taste and texture transformed.

KLEZMER CONQUEST: A Battle of The Bands

Temple Aliyah

1664 Central Ave-Needham, MA
December 11th at 7 PM
$ 5 ticket

Join our special guest MCs, our Natick neighbors, Cantor Ken Richmond and Rabbi Shira Shazeer for an entertaining evening of Klezmer as four local bands hit the Aliyah bandstand. Having performed klezmer and Yiddish songs up and down the East Coast, in Israel, and in Eastern Europe, Ken and Shira will keep the program moving with their musical taklents, Yiddishkeit, and humor..

Our four Klezmer Kontenders are:

Klezjam who have playing together for nearly 3 years. We play at nursing homes, assisted living centers, and an occasional bar mitzvah and wedding. The band got its name from the fact that we met playing at two regular jams -- the Workmen's Circle jam and the Watertown.jam.

JCC Klezmer ensemble is a class of The JCC in Newton lead by Barry Shapiro. Barry has been along-time member of the Boston music scene and was a founding member of The Klezmer Conservatory Band, Shirim, and the B.S.O. (Barry Shapiro Orchestra).

Shir Madness plays a mix of Yiddish show tunes, folk tunes and hits from the Borscht Belt. The band plays all of the distinctive dances and styles -- bulgars, Terkishes, freylakhs, horas, shers, hongas, waltzes and marches -- all of them popular in Eastern Europe and in the U.S. in the early part of the twentieth century. The band especially loves the wild and swinging music from the golden age of the great bandleaders -- people like Dave Tarras, Abe Schwartz, German Goldenshteyn, Harry Kandel, and Naftule Brandwein. We also play original pieces written by our clarinet player, Richard Yospin.

The Shpilkes Klezmer Band has become a mainstay of the Purim celebrations and congregational events at various synagogues in MetroWest. The name "Shpilkes" ..(שפּילקעס).. is a Yiddish word for "nervous energy". The word is also sufficiently like the Yiddish term "shpil", meaning play, that it can help to think of it as "playing instead of sitting still". That's where Shpilkes Klezmer Band is at, hyperactive, ready to play and certainly not to sit still. No one can listen to Klezmer by Shpilkes without wanting to dance to its lively, living melodies and relating to the instrumental voices that sing of the human experience.

Klezmer is the celebratory music of Eastern European Jews. "€œGoodnight Mishegas"€ is a line in the Hoffman family's Goodnight Waltz, composed close to a century ago, with words recently penned by Susan.

We are returning to one of our favorite venues, Johnny D's Uptown (Davis Sq., Somerville) for a show that will surely be remembered. We always love to play at this classic Somerville spot and are continuing the tradition of providing stellar and entertaining opening bands for the show. Last Spring we brought the Underscore Orkestra gypsy band from Oregon, this fall we had the Elephant Wrecking Ball, and this time around we are getting the Trubaci Balkan Brass Band! They will start the show off with a blast of brass that will surely get the party started right! They mix traditional eastern european flavors with intense improvisation and tight rhythms and harmonies. Trumpets, saxophones, trombones, tubas and drums will be blowing the roof off. Following Trubaci, Klezwoods will be rocking the house with our usual Klezmer/Eastern European blend of hard grooves, improvisation and melodies.

This is a particularly special show for us, as we will be hitting the studio the very next day to record our next full length album! We will be travelling up to Syracuse, N.Y. for a weekend of recording at More Sound Studios. We are very excited to get rolling on this one, as it will feature a lot of new and original material as well as some classic repertoire that will make for an interesting and fun album to listen to.

So come out and see us off with a night of great music, food, drinks and company! We hope to see you out this Thursday night!

Dave Levitt learned the music business from his parents. They got him started at age eight in Hollywood, Florida. He went on to appear with his folks at every one of their performances. First it was drums and clarinet. Later it became alto sax before Dave finally settled with the trombone at age fourteen. As a teenager Dave attended the famous Laguardia H.S. of Music and Art in New York. While a student there, he was a cast member in the Elizabeth Swados production "Swing" which had a run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. After completing High School, Dave attended Manhattan School Of Music on a scholarship. As student at MSM, Levitt had the good fortune of appearing with many notable jazz musicians. They included Red Rodney, Al Grey, Clark Terry as well as many others. It was about this time that Dave started to arrange and record Klezmer music with his father. These recordings also included their distant cousin Howie Leess on alto saxophone. After finishing his education, Dave took his artistry on the road which included the U.S. as well as Europe. Two of his European tours were with the Epstein Brothers Klezmer Band. Dave was the youngest member of the group as the brothers were well into their 70's. The eldest brother Max Epstein was in his early 80's. It was about this time that Dave started his own company called Progressive Music. The business operated as a rehearsal/recording studio for thirteen years. The business has since shifted gears and Dave is now involved in publishing as well as operating as a record label. The initial release of the label is called "Marty Levitt's Greatest Hits". It's a series of recordings with two generations in the ensemble. (Marty and Dave Levitt).

Workmen's Circle Klezmer Jam, Brookline, MA, 12 Feb 2012

Well, it happens, the Patriots get to the Super Bowl and then the klezmorim get invited to participate. Rumor has it that Loren Sklamberg will sing the National Anthem and that the Yeshiva University Marching Band will perform at halftime. Even if that doesn't really happen, the Hub-Klez will be likely glued to their TVs.

So, the February jam will be Feb 12 Sunday 7-9 pm at the Workmen's Circle.

Margot Leverett is one of the foremost clarinetists of the klezmer revival. Classically trained at Indiana University School of Music, she was involved in avant-garde music when she first heard klezmer, the dynamic East European music traditionally played at Jewish weddings. Leverett was a founding member of the Klezmatics in 1985 before moving on to establish a solo career. Her first CD, "The Art of Klezmer Clarinet," a tribute to classic klezmer of the 20's and 30's, was released in 2001 on Traditional Crossroads (CD4296) to glowing reviews. Her “Klezmer Mountain Boys” band has delighted audiences around the world. Margot will play in a classic klezmer trio format with Patrick Farrell on accordion and Aaron Alexander on drums.

Arkady Goldenshtein was born in Mogilev-Podolsk on the border of Ukraine and Moldova in 1963 and grew up in Moldova. He has lived in Israel since 1990. Goldenshtein has played klezmer on the clarinet since childhood, and performed regularly in affairs of the Jewish community during the Communist era, which was in those days a somewhat risky venture. He has participated in many festivals in Israel and abroad, most recently the KlezKanada Festival and has toured in England and Germany. His ensembles have been awarded prizes at the Safed and Raanana Klezmer Festivals in Israel. He currently conducts the Haifa Klezmer Orchestra, and teaches clarinet in conservatories and in the public school system.

Benjy Fox-Rosen's Quintet presents an arresting synthesis of Yiddis folk songs, art songs, Klezmer music, and original compositions. Band leader Fox-Rosen – singer, composer, and bassist – is joined by some of the most compelling klezmer musicians in New York City. Together, they focus on the poetry of beloved Krakow songwriter Mordechai Gebirtig, presenting his poems as alluring and engaging art songs.

This evening will be the US premiere of an as yet unnamed suite of compositions from the poetry of Gebirtig!

Featuring: Benjy Fox-Rosen: voice, bass, Michael Winograd: clarinet, Patrick Farrell: accordion, Avi Fox-Rosen: guitar, and Tyshawn Sorey: drums

Kurzkurs – Klezmertants mit Livemusik, Trafo, Germany, 18 Apr–9 Mai, 2012

Andrea Pancur18.04. – 09.05.12: Kurzkurs – Klezmertants mit Livemusik

Klezmer, die Hochzeits- und Festmusik der osteuropäischen Juden, erlebt
seit den siebziger Jahren eine weltweite Renaissance, und inzwischen
werden auch die traditionellen Tänze wiederbelebt. Der größte Teil des
Klezmer-Repertoires sind Gemeinschaftstänze. Hora, Sher, Khossidl und
Freylekhs bieten mal langsam, mal schnell, schlängelnd und kreiselnd,
aufregend abwechslungsreiche Formationen. Die Kreis- und Reihentänze,
Karree-Formationen und Paartänze beruhen auf einfachen Grundschritten,
so dass Neulinge schnell ins Tanzvergnügen einsteigen können.
Tänzerische Vorkenntnisse und paarweise Anmeldung sind nicht
erforderlich.
Mit Live-Musik-Begleitung auf Klarinette und Akkordeon; die Kosten sind
in der Kursgebühr enthalten.
Bitte mitbringen: flache Tanz-, Gymnastik- oder Jazz-Dance-Schuhe mit
Ledersohlen (keine Straßenschuhe) und bequeme Kleidung.
Ein Termin mit Live-Musik-Begleitung.

L’ARTICHAUT ORKESTRA (Toulouse)

Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir
musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).

Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).

Line Up
Camille Artichaut – clarinette
Frédéric Petitprez – Batterie
Sébastien Rideau – Guitare électrique
Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet – Accordéon / Voix

GOLEM (New York)

Contrairement à la légende populaire, GOLEM n’est ni une espèce de Frankenstein crée par le Maguid qui défendait les juifs de Prague au XVIIe siècle, ni une créature du Seigneur des Anneaux. GOLEM, ce sont 6 musiciens doux-dingues, GYPSY PUNK KLEZMER, c’est New-Yorkais et résolument ROCK-YIDDISH !! GOLEM, c'est une nouvelle génération d'artistes, signés chez JDub Records (SoCalled, Balkan Beat Box, Matisyahu, etc) qui montrent que la musique juive est vivante et créative.

GOLEM nous propose une interprétation de la musique klezmer, influencée par les traditions musicales juives d’Europe de l’Est et par les sons issus de l’avant-garde New-Yorkaise.

« Le son GOLEM, c'est le genre de musique que vous pourriez entendre au SHTETL(*) s'il était habité par des PUNKS au lieu de PAYSANS !! » (The Washington Post).

Zev Feldman lecture POSTPONED, NYC, 5 Nov 2012

As of Monday morning, this lecture has been postponed (ongoing post-Sandy electrical power issues). Stay tuned for a reschedule.

Monday, November 5, 7pm:
Multi-media lecture: "A Vanishing Sound: Jewish Musical Resonance in Traditional Moldavian Dance 1800-1950." For almost a century and a half a unique musical relationship developed between Jews and Gentiles in the territory of historical Bessarabia, comprising much of the Republic of Moldova and the Bucovinian territory of modern Ukraine. While the influence of Moldavian lautar ("Gypsy") music on Jewish klezmer music is well-known, the corresponding Jewish influence upon Moldavian dance and wedding music is only beginning to be researched. Ethnomusicologist Walter Zev Feldman (NYU in Abu Dhabi) and past Fulbright scholar Christina Crowder share the results of their expeditions to Moldova, which included interviews with elderly musicians and research with rare musical collections, to unearth evidence of this formerly shared musical heritage. A reception will follow the lecture.

Presented by CTMD's An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture. At Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street in Manhattan. Tickets are $15/$10 for CTMD/CJH members. Purchase them online at www.smarttix.com

Le week end continue avec deux autres groupes klezmer :

Tsimtsoum, du nom issu des traditions mystiques de la Kabbale, qui puise dans le répertoire klezmer et balkanique , en mèlant influences issues du classique , du jazz du folk , du blues ou de musiques ethniques. Une invitation au voyage et à l’imaginaire.

Mashké : quatre musiciens aux origines et univers différents, animés par l’envie d’injecter dans le répertoire traditionnel des musiques juives d’Europe centrale, leur propre réalité et d’autres sonorités. C’est la volonté de mêler les mots et les langues, d’allier cultures et territoires hétérogènes, de revisiter et réinterpréter ces magnifiques mélodies. Mais c’est avant tout une invitation au partage, à la danse et au chant tout autant qu’au rêve, à l’émotion et à la réflexion.

Bon FESTIVAL KLEZMER KAOS à L'ENTREPOT !

Shirim Klezmer Orchestra performs "The Klezmer Nutcracker," Cambridge, MA, 9 Dec 2012

THE KLEZMER NUTCRACKER

Sunday, Dec.9, 2012, 4:30pm
Club Passim
47 Palmer St.
Cambridge, MA
617-492-5300
Tickets: $15/13

Shirim’s legendary klezmer rendition of the Nutcracker is a brilliant cross-cultural achievement which is fun, serious and rocking all at once. They distill the classic ballet suite down to its folky essence and will change the way you think of Tchaikovsky forever. Emphasizing the Eastern European elements of the score with witty intelligence and playful irreverence, Shirim redefines the modern melting pot of "world music." Its overwhelming virtuosity in both the performance and musical conception harken back to the manic genius of Spike Jones' classical parodies and the artistry of Ellington's classic transcription.

Shirim has performed all over the U.S., Canada and Europe. They have collaborated with Maurice Sendak (Pincus & the Pig), Ellen Kushner (The Golden Dreydl) and played with the Philly Pops and on the soundtrack of Woody Allen’s “Deconstructing Harry.” They are traditional and new and alive at the same time. Come see them, you won’t regret it in this intimate venue. After over 25 years of playing, they are a Boston institution. Glenn Dickson, clarinet; Gary Bohan, trumpet; Michael Mclaughlin, accordion; Jim Gray, tuba; Eric Rosenthal, drums.

Enchanting, virtuosic, ornate – Ismail Fencioglu is a true master of Turkish music. He has mesmerized Canadian, European and Turkish audiences with his fleet-fingered oud playing, soaring tenor vocals and encyclopedic knowledge of the classical Turkish music repertoire. A graduate of the State Conservatory of Istanbul Technical University, he has performed throughout Turkey both live and on television with other masters of the genre, including Alaeddin Yavasca, Bekir Sidki Sezgin, Erkan Ogur and Tulin Yakarcelik. Residing now in Montreal, Canada, Ismail has partnered with high-energy, blues-rock inspired klezmer group Shtreiml to perform a set of "Turkish Roots & Jewish Blues." Through compelling original compositions and new arrangements of traditional folk melodies, the ensemble explores the ancient connections between Jewish and Turkish music. Joined by harmonica innovator Jason Rosenblatt (harmonica, keys), Rachel Lemisch (trombone), Thierry Arsenault (drums) and Joel Kerr (bass) the group's set has been labeled "explosive" (Halifax Chronicle Herald) and "exhilarating" (Rootsworld).

For three years local singer Heather Klein has worked together with Bay Area communities, local artists and musicians to present “Hungry for Yiddish; A Mitzvah Project.” Several klezmer bands, Yiddish singers, classical, and world musicians pitch in to present a series of concerts to raise money and awareness for the Bay Area’s homeless and hungry population. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Berkeley Food Pantry, which provides hunger relief in Berkeley and Albany.

9-10pm: Yiddish song with Heather Klein’s Inextinguishable Trio and Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell. Both Heather and Anthony bring a captivating deep artistry and operatic technique to Yiddish song. Their voices call audiences to rapt attention, their songs deep with history infused with new life.

10pm on: klezmer dance party!
The Bay’s favorite Yiddish dance instructor and instigator Bruce Bierman will lead dances. Bruce relocated to L.A. so catch him while he’s here! Saul Goodman’s Klezmer Orkestar features Mike Perlmutter (clarinet, saxophone), Dave Rosenfeld (violin, mandolin), Dmitri Gaskin (accordion), and friends. Mike, Dave, and Dmitri are resident musicians of klezmer Monday’s at Saul’s Deli.

The Arthouse will feature watercolors by local painter (and Yiddish student) Margaret Sloan. Her portraits aim to capture the small, intimate moments when the inner self flashes out and peeks at the world.

Wholesale Klezmer Band, Saratoga Springs, NY, 15 December 2012

Please join the Wholesale Klezmer Band at 8 pm on Saturday evening, December 15, the last night of Hanukkah for our annual concert of Yiddish music at Caffé Lena, 47 Phila Street, Saratoga Springs, NY.

To mark the last night of Hanukkah, this traditional Klezmer ensemble will take the Caffè Lena stage to bring a little Yiddishkeit to the season with an emotionally uplifting performance of music, comedy and lessons.

Each year their repertoire expands and deepens, from swinging, danceable songs in Yiddish and Ashkenazic Hebrew, to songs of freedom and social justice, stories, humor, and poems. They make everything accessible to a mixed audience with translations, cue cards, and that universal language that makes your toes tap. If you haven't seen Wholesale Klezmer recently, it's time to rediscover them.

Somerville Theater
55 Davis Square
Somerville, MA

Boston Jewish Music FestivalForget your passport. Take a world tour of klezmer with three very different, very wonderful klezmorim.

The Tarras Project
The Tarras Band captures and refreshes the classic music of legendary clarinetist, Dave Tarras. The band features rising star Michael Winograd on clarinet, Boston's own Jim Guttman on bass, and 72 year young Pete Sokolow on piano, who played with Dave Tarras for years.

Lerner & Moguilevsky
Born of Russian and Polish grandparents who immigrated to Argentina at the turn of the century, Cesar Lerner and Marcel Moguilevsky use klezmer as a springboard for free improvisation that is played with intensity and originality. Swinging back and forth between the genres, vocalist Marcelo Moguilevsky (clarinet, bass, soprano sax, wooden flutes, harmonica, bagpipe and duduk) and César Lerner (piano, accordion and percussion), combine Argentinean folk music, jazz, contemporary music and tango. This is the Boston debut of this amazing Argentinean duo.

Shura Liposvsky
Considered Europe's finest female klezmer singer, Shura Lipovsky has been a pioneer in spreading Yiddish folksongs since the 1970's. She is a member of Musicians without Borders, an internationally active organization aiming to use music to bring disputing factions together. She will be performing with Lerner & Moguilevsky.

Tickets are $25 and $36 and are available by clicking here.

Real Vocal String Quartet is knock-out Bay Area string quartet, string band, woman's vocal quartet and jaw-dropping improvising world-music collective takes on Regina Spektor and other Jewish music.

True Life Trio weaves sumptuous vocal harmonies and sultry rhythms from Eastern Europe, the Americas & beyond. This innovative trio explores the creative possibilities of cross-fertilization of different traditions with unlikely timbres connecting Bulgaria to the Bayou. Featuring the powerful vocal talents of three dynamic performers whose musical collaboration was forged in Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble, the trio delves deep into a vast array of folk music that lends itself to three-part vocal harmony, massaging and expanding the boundaries of these traditional styles. The result is a sweet, sonic explosion that is here turned for the first time to original arrangements of Jewish music.

This unique project is inspired by the repertoire of Mariam Nirenberg, a pre-War Jewish folksinger born in this multicultural region. It was first recorded in the 1970s by eminent folklorist Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett. Vocalist Olga Mieleszczuk provides modern arrangements to Nirenberg's repertoire, accompanied by Israeli clarinetist and guitarist Ittai Binnun, violinist Cookie Segelstein accordionist Josh Horowitz, and bassist Stu Brotman.

Co-presented with the Polish Cultural Institute New York. Co-sponsored by the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture, in association with the Israel Center (SF), the Consulate of Israel (SF) and the Consulate of Poland (LA).

Rich East European Jewish and Ukrainian musical traditions come together with Michael Alpert, a leading Yiddishist and pioneer of the klezmer revival, and Julian Kytasty, a premier bandura (lute-harp) player. Night Songs from a Neighboring Village pairs traditions that have existed side by side and interacted for centuries, mirroring the complex relationship between the two peoples. From lyrical love ballads and songs of flirtation to tales of marital mayhem and epics of separation from home and hearth wrought by conscription and war, this music portrays the many facets of life portrayed in the Jewish and non-Jewish song cultures of Ukraine.

284 Armory Street
Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA

Boston Jewish Music FestivalDiscussion:Order your own dinner and share in a pre-concert table discussion about the art and politics of the Yiddish progressive movement with Daniel Kahn and noted writer and educator, Leonard Fein.

Concert: Daniel Kahn concocts a mixture of Klezmer, radical Yiddish song, political cabaret and punk-folk, bound together by his unique talents as a songwriter, translator and performer. He tells stories of outrageous incidents, poetically dark, tragically humorous and politically incorrect. Described as 'the Yiddish Pogues,' Painted Bird's music straddles the borders between radical & traditional, lyrical & political, East & West, folk & punk, mama loshon & loshon hora. This is a rare opportunity to experience a great musician who finds inspiration in the poetry and music of Jewish protest.

Tickets: $15 in advance, $20 at the door and can be purchased by clicking here.

Please note that the Milky Way room where the live performance is taking place is standing room only; in the the seated restaurant the concert is shown live on multiple HD monitors and sound system. Your tickets assures you entry into the Milky Way Lounge but not necessarily the standing room only space.

Presented in cooperation with Boston Workmen's Circle Center for Jewish Culture and Social Justice.

Three phenomenal women musicians join together in an original collaboration inspired by the music of great traditional Yiddish violinists and the poetry of acclaimed Yiddish writer Kadya Molodowsky (1894-1975). The Kadya Project weaves Molodowsky's poetry with the eloquent Yiddish violin, erasing boundaries, and creating a world where traditional musical materials are also an expression of women's voices—lyrical, lively and thoroughly contemporary.

Featuring Keryn Kleiman, Abigale Reisman and Jeff Warschauer, guitar, mandolin and voice, Adam Moss, violin, and Esther Gottesman, readings

Концерты Псоя Короленко запоминаются особой манерой исполнения, цитатами и аллюзиями, многоязычностью. Псой поёт на русском, английском, идише, французском, часто на смеси языков. В репертуар входят оригинальные песни, переводы и кавер-версии. Обычно Псой подыгрывает себе на гармохе — синтезаторе Casio с включённым тембром аккордеона.

Psoy Korolenko is a Russian Jewish multilingual poet-singer/songwriter, translator, journalist and scholar. He is mostly known for his multilingual one-person cabaret show, balancing folk and klezmer music, free style poetry and stand-up comedy. He writes and sings in English, Russian, Yiddish and French. He has released a book of essays and songs and 12 CDs. He is part of the organization team of Russian American open-air music festival JetLAG, headliner and guest of many klezmer-oriented music festivals, ex-artist in Residence at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2009), and Dickinson College (2011).

Yom Hashoah Commemoration w/Shir Madness, 6 Apr, 2013

A Musical World Recaptured: Klezmer and Yiddish Music Before the Holocaust
A Concert and Commemoration to Benefit the Vilna Shul,
Boston’s Center for Jewish Culture

Featuring Shir Madness Klezmer Band.

Saturday, April 6, 2013, 7:30 pm
Vilna Shul
18 Phillips Street,
Boston, MA

Tix: $18, $12 for students and seniors.

The rich and vibrant world of Yiddish music, like European Jewry itself, seemed nearly destroyed in the Holocaust, but the legacy of Yiddish music has not been lost. As we commemorate Yom HaShoah this year, we will also celebrate the living heritage of the music that has survived and now thrives again.

From the folk dances that became klezmer wedding staples, to Yiddish theatre tunes, to songs of resistance and of the Jewish labor movement, we will sing and play Jewish music—in remembrance of those we lost, and in celebration of a living tradition that we are passing to future generations.

Thursday, April 25, 2013, 8:00pm
Old Cabell Auditorium
University of Virginia
Charlottesville, VA

The first part of the concert will feature a trio performance by Segelstein, Horowitz, and Rubin. From 1992-94, the acclaimed duo Rubin & Horowitz performed throughout Europe. Their pioneering CD, Bessarabian Symphony: Early Jewish Instrumental Music, is credited with having initiated the historically-informed performance practice movement in klezmer music. It was called “very pure ... authoritative” by the Wall Street Journal, and “a major document of the so-called ‘klezmer revival’” in the journal, Ethnomusicology. This will be their first joint performance since 1994 and the first performance as a trio with Cookie Segelstein. After intermission, the trio will be joined by the UVA Klezmer Ensemble in a performance of Segelstein’s and Horowitz’s repertoire.

Tickets for the Klezmer Ensemble performance are $10 for adults and $5 for students. UVA students may request one complimentary ticket up until midnight prior to the concert.

Special guest from New York Brooklyn: Taron Benson

En concert
Jeudi 16 mai 2013 à 20h30
Au NEW MORNING
7/9 rue des Petites Ecuries
75010 PARIS

Deux ans après l'album SPEAK WITH GHOSTS, Anakronic Electro Orkestra revient avec l’album NOISE IN SEPHER (ffff de Télérama) et dépoussière les vieux grimoires de la musique Yiddish. Ces enchanteurs de l'ère numérique pratiquent une alchimie toujours aussi efficace, un mysticisme à grand coup de zéros et de uns, au son d'une musique traditionnelle qu'ils rendent subversivement moderne.

Au-delà d'un simple mélange, ce disque est une appropriation totale du répertoire Ashkénaze. Le hip-hop incisif mâtiné d'une chanson joyeuse (Lady Mydriasis) contraste avec cet autre morceaux de rap où quatre-vingt années de musiques et de tendances sont rassemblées dans trois minutes trente d'une efficacité jubilatoire (Noise in Sepher II feat. Taron Benson). Égaré mais heureux, on se retrouve trimballé d'une techno rageuse aux accents bulgares (Invidia) jusqu'à des montées hallucinées et planantes rappelant aussi bien le rock progressif que la musique classique (Schrödinger, Cabbalistic snare).

Enfin, le new-yorkais David Krakauer, légende vivante du Klezmer et premier artisan du renouveau mondial de cette musique fait une apparition virtuose dans un battle survolté avec une drum'n'bass déchainée et un dub sombre et profond (Uruk). Tout cela retrouve la danse, la transe, la joie et la douleur des anciennes mélodies pour former un véritable langage artistique original.

Dorénavant le Klezmer est une musique électro au même titre que la jungle, le break-beat ou le dubstep... le disque NOISE IN SEPHER en est l'ultime preuve (sortie avril 2013 sur Balagan Box / La Baleine).

Litvakus, a New York based klezmer band founded and led by Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch, will present a program of Litvak Jewish music, encompassing a broad range of instrumentals and songs, traditional pieces and those composed by Zisl, as well as pieces of Belarusian and Polish music that had created a nurturing environment for the local Jewish music in the North-East of Europe.
Rocking out at NYC venues, "making it for irresistible dancing music" (Jewish Daily Forward), Litvakus renovates the tradition making it relevant, accessible, and attractive for the modern listener.

Klezmer, die Hochzeits- und Festmusik der osteuropäischen Juden erlebt seit den 70ger Jahren eine weltweite Renaissance und inzwischen werden auch die traditionellen Tänze wiederbelebt.

Die Kreis- und Reihentänze,Karre-Formationen und Paartänze beruhen auf einfachen Grundschritten, so dass Neulinge schnell ins Tanzvergnügen einsteigen können.Tänzerische Vorkenntnisse und paarweise Anmeldung sind nichterforderlich. Mit Live-Musik-Begleitung an Akkordeon und Klarinette. Bitte mitbringen: flache Tanz-, Gymnastikg oder Jazz-Dance-Schuhe mit Ledersohle (keine Straßenschuhe) und bequeme Kleidung.

Lisa Gutkin, City Winery Brunch, NYC, 11 Aug 2013

Paul ShapiroEvery Sunday Morning, combining live music and food in a fresh, cultural environment, City Winery’s Klezmer brunch series pairs some of the greatest musicians in the world with delicious lox, bagels and other tasty fare on Sunday mornings from 11am to 2pm. 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.

Jewish Heritage Night@Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, PA, 20 Aug 2013

Federation’s Jewish Her­i­tage Night at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday, Aug. 20, is an ideal opportunity to celebrate Jewish music, kosher food and great Phillies baseball with family and friends.

As fans enter the park, they will be treated to performances by Klez with Class, a five-piece group of professional klez­mer and jazz musicians featuring lead vocalist Cantor David Green of Congregation Beth Or in Maple Glen. Thirty members of Na­shir­ah, the only auditioned, com­munity-based chorale in the Great­er Philadelphia area that performs Jewish and Jewish-themed music, will thrill the crowd with a stirring rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Federation President Sherrie Savett will throw out the first pitch before the start of the 7:05 p.m. matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Colorado Rockies. Kosher food will be available for purchase throughout the game at a special kiosk located by the third-base gate. There will be special surprises between innings. Who knows when and where the famed Phillie Phanatic may make his appearance?

Tix available online at: www.jewishphilly.org.

Individuals, synagogue groups or other organizations may also order tickets by calling Matt Kessler, manager of Premium Sales and Services for the Phillies, at 215-463-5000, Ext. 5663. Groups of 25 or more will see their name in lights on the auxiliary message boards during the game.

Hanukkah celebration, Slocan Lake, BC, Canada, 2 Dec 2013

You and yours are invited to an evening of music, theater and dancing
Celebrating Hanukkah at the Silverton Gallery
Tuesday, December 3rd
Stage show with The Nelson Hanukkah Ensemble 7 pm, Community Dinner 6 pm

This year the Gallery staff is thrilled to present a four piece band with a great repertoire of highly dancable Jewish music, including Klezmer, Sephardic and Israeli songs.

This group of musicians are among the top players in the Kootenays!

Clarinetist Nicola Everton was with the Vancouver Symphony for twenty years, and has done extensive recording and touring. She is now Artistic Director of the Kootenay Gallery Concert Series, and has taught at the Valhalla Summer School of Music.

Bass player Rob Fahie is also an amazing player, having completed 2 degrees in Jazz and Classical music. He has toured internationally with high profile Canadian artists like Ranee Lee, Sophie Milman and Nikki Yanofsky. He has played at The Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club and Iridium in New York City as well as the Catalina Jazz Club, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.

Accordionist Catherine McGrath is a well known folk musician and broadcaster in the West Kootenays. She was a founding member of Nelson's Heavy Shtetl, a klezmer and traditional jazz band, Cattle Annie, The Crooked Corral, a western swing group, and Kootenay Kontraband, an old-time dance band.

Singer Allan Merovitz is a legend in Canadian Klezmer circles. Allan, who is based in Calgary, has recorded and toured North America and Europe with top Klezmer and Yiddish groups, and has headed up his own band, KlezMerovitz. He has been nominated for a Juno, and won a CBC Etoiles-Galaxy award with his group Merovitz Project, in Montreal.

An experienced stage actor and storyteller, Allan will tell the story of the First Hanukkah in Canada, as experienced by Aaron Hart, an immigrant who fought with the British back in the 18th century, and then built a fur trading empire in Lower Canada.
Hanukkah celebrations are all about kids, and this year we have a group of young musicians who will perform a song or two
Times: Dinner at 6pm. Concert: doors 6:30, show at 7pm.

The back streets,
Marrickville, New South Wales 2204 Australia

Direct from Shir Madness Sydney Jewish Music Festival Knakl play at Django Bar for one night only. Join us for the Australian launch of their debut album – Meeting Moyshe.

Out of the Moishe Beregovskii Collection concert series at the Jewish Salon in Hamburg in 2012, Knakl has emerged with a unique offering that pays homage to the field recordings of Moishe Beregovskii. With enormous respect given to the interpretation of their musical ancestors, Knakl presents their own interpretation that moves beyond the traditional style of Klezmer to include their personal style of free improvisation. It is a meeting across generations. From what Beregovskii left behind, Knakl have – inspired by history – gone their own way.

3 Leg Torso w/Beaverton Symphony, Beaverton, OR, 17 Jan 2014

3 Leg Torso and Beaverton Symphony

Friday, January 17th, 7:30 PM
Village Baptist Church
330 S.W. Murray Blvd,
Beaverton, OR

Tickets: Adult/$10.00 Seniors & Students/$5.00 Family / $20
Online: bso3legtorso.brownpapertickets.com

3 Leg Torso and the Beaverton Symphony Orchestra, led by Maestro Travis Hatton combine forces for an evening of Hungarian and Eastern European themed music.

The Beaverton Symphony will open with:
Brahms Hungarian Dance #6,
Bartók, Hungarian Sketches
Kachaturian, Masquerade Suite

The members of 3 Leg Torso reunite with Maestro Travis Hatton to perform original and traditional pieces arranged for full symphony orchestra. The ensemble worked with Mr. Hatton in 2008 while the conductor was working with the musicians of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony.

"We really enjoyed collaborating with Maestro Hatton and the MYS", says accordionist and co-leader/founder of 3LT, Courtney Von Drehle. "Travis's acute attention to detail makes for a spirited marriage of the World Music that 3 Leg Torso is known for with the orchestral lushness and depth of sonic possibilities offered by a full symphonic orchestra."

To further expand the quintet's history of performing and collaborating with large symphonic ensembles, Béla R. Balogh, violinist and co-leader of 3LT, had been searching for conductors and orchestras in the region to collaborate with and reuniting with Maestro Hatton was a great idea and welcomed opportunity.
Says Balogh: "Travis was a natural fit for 3 Leg Torso. We had successfully worked with him in the past, and his understanding of the music was elemental in creating a show that was thrilling for both performers and listeners"

Pieces to be performed WITH the BSO and 3LT

Astor in Paris ………………………………………………. 3LT
Baym Rebyn in Palestina……………………………………Traditional
Counterpoint…………………………………………………. 3LT
Frog….. Secret Agent………………………………………. 3LT
The Life and Times and Good Deeds of St. Penguin…… 3LT

jeudi 23 janvier 2014 à 20h30

‘Les Ânes rient de Marie’ : Ce nom, il faut le dire d’une traite, comme un train qui passe, un son qui fuse...

Orchestre de rue ou fanfare de chambre, ‘Les Ânes rient de Marie’ est un groupe flamboyant qui allie fête et mouvement. Il rassemble sept musiciens partageant la même envie d’une musique fraternelle, originale et qui réchauffe le cœur et l’esprit : klezmer d’abord, mais aussi à la manière de l’Est et d’ailleurs... un folklore venu d’un endroit imaginaire où on se sent chez soi et diablement vivant !

Klezwoods is teaming up with belly dancer Bevin Victoria for an event called "The 30th Meridian Belly Dance Ballet". Victoria (a.k.a. Hybrid) has put together a belly dance troupe that will be performing alongside the band doing a fully choreographed "music and dance journey" up the 30th Meridian.

Victoria is an internationally accomplished dancer (2012 International Tribal Star Award, 2013 Belly Dancer of the Year) and has been dancing with Klezwoods as a guest star for years, doing dance routines for festivals and events, including a popular annual performance at The Lilypad in Cambridge, MA called, "Klezwoods Belly Dance Extravaganza!"

Their most recent album, "The 30th Meridian: From Cairo To St. Petersburg With Love," was released in the Fall of 2012 and represents a musical journey up the 30th Meridian (through Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Eastern Europe and Russia). This region of the world is influential on their music and many of the songs they play are directly from these countries.

Based off this musical journey, Victoria and Sam Dechenne (trumpet player for Klezwoods) created a story with different characters, scenes and props to go along with each song. Victoria assembled a stunning lineup of dancers from the Boston area to bring the idea to life.

On February 1st, Klezwoods will be playing down their entire album with the dance troupe on center stage performing this journey. Scenes include; a raucous Israeli wedding, a traveler's perilous adventure through an Egyptian marketplace, two Balkan mountain woodsmen, a lonely seamstress looking for love....all coming together for The 30th Meridian Belly Dance Ballet!

Die Stimme der Frau – wegen ihrer verführerischen Kraft im alten Judentum mit einem Bann geehrt – entfaltet heute ungehindert ihr Potential. Und so ist es kein Wunder, dass drei prominente Vertreterinnen der internationalen Klezmermusik sich unter dem Namen des einstigen Verbots diese Grenze mit Wonne überschreiten.

“I knew no precedent of a Yiddish song organically growing out of a Negro Spiritual, but inside my own head—and I hesitate to say this, but in my heart—I felt I didn’t particularly need a precedent.”—Anthony (Mordechai-Tzvi) Russell

“Convergence” combines diverse strains of traditional Jewish and African-American music directly at points of spiritual, melodic and textual convergence. Classical vocalist Anthony (Mordechai-Tzvi) Russell, in collaboration with acclaimed Bay Area klezmer trio Veretski Pass, creates a new repertoire of works exploring exile, spirituality, hope and redemption, enhanced by the animation work of San Francisco-based artist Meredith Leich.

The score is the newest commission from the Foundation's New Jewish Culture Network (NJCN) and marks the first feature-length film composition by Svigals who will perform live with virtuoso pianist Marilyn Lerner at each of the screenings of this cinema classic.

The Klezmer/Roma (Gypsy) Connection: A Musical Voyage in Romania

Thursday, April 17th, 6:30pm
Workmen's Circle
247 West 37th Street, 5th Floor
New York City, NY

Free and open to the public.

Join violinist Jake Shulman-Ment for a multi-media concert/presentation in which he performs both traditional music and new compositions, inspired by Jewish and Romanian folk styles. The concert is accompanied by striking photographic and video footage drawn from ethnographic expeditions in Romania taken during a year Jake spent there on a Fulbright grant. In combining virtuosic musical performance with these rare, fascinating images, and historical background of a world now mostly vacated by the Jewish people yet still the birthplace of so much of our cultural heritage, we explore the past and present relationships between Jews and Roma (Gypsies), the influence of non-Jewish neighbors on Jewish traditions (and vice-versa), questions of collective memory and how to uncover a buried past, as well as the artistic process of synthesizing these experiences into the creation of new music.

Women's Voices Around The World: Eva Salina, Lisa Gutkin, and Dolunay

Thurs, Apr 24, 8:30pm
Jalopy Theatre and School of Music
315 Columbia Street,
Brooklyn, New York

Join us for a fantastic evening of music with...
9:00 - Eva Salina Primack - "Eva’s rich, versatile, agile, deep and powerful voice and her enthusiastic, skillful, inspired and inspiring teaching have led her to quickly become a reknowned singer, interpreter, and teacher of Traditional Balkan Vocal music."

9:45 - Lisa Gutkin - w/ Uri Sharlin on accordion
& Rémy Yulzari, Double Bassist
As Grammy-winning violinist and song writer for The Klezmatics, Gutkin has consistently proven a masterful musician. But fans who have only witnessed her within the context of the Klezmatics have experienced just a fragment of what this multi-faceted artist is capable of producing. She might swing seamlessly from traditional Irish fiddle tunes to blues, Balkan or Appalachian sounds. Or she might put the violin down altogether, pick up a tenor guitar and sing one of her own universally resonant songs. Wherever she goes Gutkin has an uncanny way of taking the audience with her.

10:30 - Dolunay NYC - Dolunay (Turkish for “full moon”) plays the songs of the people of Turkish descent who lived across Rumeli, the southern Balkan region of the Ottoman Empire. Dolunay brings new life to the timeless songs and melodies of this region, known for its rich cultural diversity. Based in Brooklyn, the group features top-notch musicians from the NY music scene.

Klezmokum / Klez-Edge

27 April, 2014, 3-6pm
Synagoge Maastricht
Capucijnengang 2
Maastricht, the Netherlands

Following the success of Klezmokum’s “Old & New Gold” project in synagogues and culture centers in 2011-12 in the Netherlands, we now follow up this project with “Klez-Evergreens” which is a compilation of some of our best instrumental material over our 24 years of existence. Several of these pieces have been performed often but not recorded: some of the best repertoire not only of Klezmokum, but our instrumental subsidiaries: Klez-Edge and Klez-thetics. The music was/is quite accessible or popular with our audiences and will include the following: Klezmer traditional dance (freylekh) type pieces: Varshaver Freylekhs, , Sherele, and another klez-classic in a Balkan-style arrangement: Ketsad M’rakdin. From the great Chassidic literature will be Chassidic Song, Zhuritze Chlopotzi, and Dance of Safad. From the Klez-Edge recording on Tzadik Records: Oy Joy, and from our first Klezmokum CD (1992: Dedication. Also included are A Cozy Winter Veggy Soup from our Klez-thetics recoding (2003), and (from the classic film:) the poignant Theme from Schindler’s List. And finally.. a surprise twist: a lovely piece by the great jazz pianist/composer John Lewis that uses the Magen Abot Jewish mode scale..(Come to one of the concert to find out what it is!) The public is welcome to come for any of these concerts.

Thur May 1, 7:30pm
Kanbar Center, Osher Marin JCC,
200 N. San Pedro Rd.
San Rafael, CA 94903

World premiere of a composition. The trio plays in this performance with San Francisco Choral Artists, a 24-voice chamber ensemble specializing in innovative programming and performance excellence. SFCA has premiered more than 190 works and won the 2012 ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming.

The work is a choral mystery drama by Joshua Horowitz of the internationally renowned Bay Area ensemble Veretski Pass. It is based on Jewish superstitions that makes wild use of multilingual texts, and ancient sources, and combines homemade instruments with poly-choral avant-garde gestures to create a fantastic, hysterical, bizarre and often moving musical extravaganza, complete with the trio's improvisations.

Lilith, the adult, alternate Jewish story of creation is transformed into a magical folk opera by Veretski Pass in collaboration with the San Francisco Choral Artists. A group of virtuosic multi-instrumentalists, Veretski Pass brings together Jewish and non-Jewish sounds from across Europe.

The extraordinary and often bizarre score to Lilith, composed by award-winning composer, Josh Horowitz, features both choral and instrumental ensembles as well as Heather Klein (Lilith), Anthony Russell (Adam), and Michael Wex (narrator).

The edgy and humorous libretto draws on texts gleaned from Jewish superstitions, omens, dreams, and curses. San Francisco Choral Artists, a chamber ensemble of 24 singers, is widely recognized as one of the finest choral ensembles on the West Coast. The production is directed by Magen Solomon, artistic director of the Choral Artists.

Depuis le XVIe siècle, les danses sont présentes lors des festivités et mariages juifs d’Europe de l’Est. La plupart d’entre elles sont destinées à honorer les invités de marque. Du freylekhs à la patshtants, en passant par la bulgar et les horas roumaines, venez les découvrir, ainsi que la musique klezmer qui les accompagne, les codes sociaux et la culture qui s’y rattachent. Les danseurs se communiquent leur énergie au long de ces danses lentes ou pleines d’allant, mélancoliques ou joyeuses. Seul compte le plaisir d’être ensemble et de vibrer au son de la musique klezmer.
Ouvert à tous, hommes et femmes, sans distinction d’âge ni de niveau.
Alexis Kune (pour la danse), Marthe Desrosières dirigeant les Klezmorimlekh (pour la musique), font découvrir cet univers magique. Le freylekh, la patshtants et le sher, etc. n’auront plus de secret pour les participants qui découvriront le plaisir de danser ensemble.
Prochaine rencontre : samedi 17 mai de 10h30 à 13h.
P.A.F. : 15 €. Membres : 12 €. Réserver.

World premiere of a composition. The trio plays in this performance with San Francisco Choral Artists, a 24-voice chamber ensemble specializing in innovative programming and performance excellence. SFCA has premiered more than 190 works and won the 2012 ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming.

The work is a choral mystery drama by Joshua Horowitz of the internationally renowned Bay Area ensemble Veretski Pass. It is based on Jewish superstitions that makes wild use of multilingual texts, and ancient sources, and combines homemade instruments with poly-choral avant-garde gestures to create a fantastic, hysterical, bizarre and often moving musical extravaganza, complete with the trio's improvisations.

Lilith, the adult, alternate Jewish story of creation is transformed into a magical folk opera by Veretski Pass in collaboration with the San Francisco Choral Artists. A group of virtuosic multi-instrumentalists, Veretski Pass brings together Jewish and non-Jewish sounds from across Europe.

The extraordinary and often bizarre score to Lilith, composed by award-winning composer, Josh Horowitz, features both choral and instrumental ensembles as well as Heather Klein (Lilith), Anthony Russell (Adam), and Michael Wex (narrator).

The edgy and humorous libretto draws on texts gleaned from Jewish superstitions, omens, dreams, and curses. San Francisco Choral Artists, a chamber ensemble of 24 singers, is widely recognized as one of the finest choral ensembles on the West Coast. The production is directed by Magen Solomon, artistic director of the Choral Artists.

Klezmer meets free improvisation at Mezzetta

Jonno Lightstone (clarinet and flute), David Mott (baritone sax) and Nick Fraser (drums) turn klezmer music on it's head! We are pushing the limits of klezmer music into an arena in which Hasidic and Jewish traditions encounter free form improvisation. Anything may happen (and it usually does). We draw on a variety of musical genres, from jazz to blues, from funk to zydeco and everything in between.

Wednesday, May 7 - 9:00 to 11:00 pm
Mezzetta, 681 St. Clair Ave. West (near Christie St.)

Drop in earlier for dinner, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is great

"Yiddish in Swing", Geneva, Switzerland, 16 May, 2014

Vendredi 16 mai 2014 à 19h :
”Yiddish in Swing” Concert de chants yiddish et de musique klezmer avec Hotegezugt :

Yael Miller (chant), Michel Borzykowski (saxophones), Bianca Favez (violon) et Sylvie Bossi (accordéon).

A la fin du 19ème siècle et au début du 20ème, fuyant les conditions économiques désastreuses, les restrictions politiques, les brimades et autres pogroms, pas moins de 2 millions de Juifs ont quitté leur shtetl d’Europe de l’Est et ont franchi l'océan pour chercher la goldene medine: l'Eldorado américain. Et avec eux, de nombreux musiciens : Abe Schwartz Harry Kandel, Shloymke Beckerman, Naftule Brandwein, Dave Tarras… pour n'en citer que quelques-uns (mais non des moindres !) de la première génération.

Confrontés à la musique afro-américaine, aux marching bands et au formidable bouillonnement musical de l'époque, ces musiciens vont remodeler leurs mélodies, leurs interprétations et leurs rythmes jusqu'à créer un nouveau style, aux confins du klezmer, du blues et du jazz.

Portés par les radios -une douzaine de stations rien qu'à New York !- et par l'industrie, toute nouvelle mais en plein essor, du disque, le swing yiddish a connu une popularité énorme auprès de la majorité des Juifs d'Amérique.
Et comment ne pas citer George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, les Barry Sisters, autant de phares qui ont laissé leur empreinte indélébile dans l'éventail des musiques juives !

Et c'est ce répertoire, à la fois swingant, nostalgique et joyeux, que nous vous présentons, dans une veine profondément traditionnelle, mais interprété d'une façon originale, toujours avec une touche de spiritualité et d'humour profondément juifs… et pour votre plus grand plaisir!

Three new works from 2013-2014 LABA Fellows explore what happens when mom decides to take matters into her own hands.

MUSIC: “Seduction in Eynaim: A Maternal Song Cycle” by Alicia Svigals

Klezmer violinist Svigals weaves together original settings of poetry and Biblical texts in Yiddish, Hebrew and English to create a musical work that speaks of fertility, fear and longing; and the double-edged helix of inheritance across generations of women. With Svigals on violin and vocals and virtuoso William Schimmel on accordion.

THEATER: “Mrs Klein” directed by Elinor Renfield (Staged Reading of an Excerpt)

Broadway’s Renfield will direct Nicholas Wright's 1988 play based on the life of the brilliant and controversial psychoanalyst Melanie Klein. The play looks at the disagreement between Klein, a renown explorer of the infant psyche, and her daughter, also a psychoanalyst, on how best to raise children. Many boundaries are crossed. Featuring Robin Leslie Brown, Margo White and Elinore Handley.

ART: “Mother Tongue” by Yael Kanarek

Boundary-busting media artist Kanarek will present a collection of language-based fine jewelry inspired by mother-themed texts in Hebrew, Yiddish and Aramaic. The jewels are created in an original typeface she designed for this collection.

LECTURE: “Tamar”

Rabbi Shira Koch Epstein will discuss the story of Tamar, who made herself a harlot in order to become a mother. A look at what happens when mothers make themselves the protagonists of their own stories.

Hankus Netsky @ TheRetreat, NYC, 12 Jun 2014

Hankus Netsky is speaking at TheRetreat – a three day experience in Jewish learning, fellowship, davening, and sports at Camp Ramah in Palmer, Massachusetts. His subject is Klezmer music, and its migration from Europe to America – a migration that each of you has been a part of.

Info: www.theretreatfjmc.com/
tel: 781-724-2551

The lecture itself is on Thursday, June 12th, beginning at 8:00 PM. Afterwards there will be some unstructured hospitality at the camp, but I’d really like to see that evolve into a Klezmer jam session.

TheRetreat itself opens at 3:00 PM that day, with dinner at 5:45, and Ma’ariv at 7:15. It can be a wonderful weekend, and we expect around a hundred Jewish men from the New England, Hudson Valley, and Connecticut regions to attend. The first timer fee for the full weekend, including 4 Days and 3 Nights of a shared room in Camp Ramah's bunks, kosher meals & snacks, plus all lectures and activities is $250 for first timers, $315 for those who have been before.

You are also, of course, welcome to just come for the evening itself, and that is free. It is a little over an hour from the Weston tolls at the I-90/128 intersection. If you’d like to, you could join us for dinner, and if you’d rather stay the night and join us for breakfast, that would be great too. The full weekend is a Men’s Club regional event, but there are enough available bunk houses that it would be no problem to accommodate women who would prefer to stay over to Friday. Coming just for the lecture and jam session would be free, but if you’d like to come for full evening and following morning, it would be $75. Again, check the web site specified above for further information.

Friday August 8th, 8pm
@ The JAZZ.FM 91.1 World Music Festival
Hugh's Room,
2261 Dundas St. W
Toronto, ON, Canada

Nomadica re-imagines and recombines the rich, soulful and righteously celebratory musics of the Arabs, Gypsies and Jews. Led by David and Roula Said, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, (and wife of David) the band is made up of some of Toronto's finest and most versatile musicians. Drawing from traditional Roma and Arabic, as well as instrumental dance music from the Jews and Gypsies of the Balkans and Eastern Europe, Nomadica weaves together a tapestry of sound that has deep roots in the ancestral lands and a real homeland in post-multicultural Toronto.

Dem ukrainischen Musikwissenschaftler Mosche Beregowski (1892-1961) ist es zu verdanken, dass große Teile des Repertoires der osteuropäischen Klezmorim noch heute bekannt sind. 1944 promoviert er über die von ihm so genannte „klesmerische Musik“. Ende der 40ger Jahre muss er die von ihm gesammelten Tondokumente verstecken und ist Anfang der 50ger Jahre in sowjetischen Arbeitslagern inhaftiert. Teile seiner Sammlung mit Transkriptionen und Aufnahmen sind in den letzten gut 20 Jahren in den USA veröffentlich worden.

Celebrated as one of the greatest living klezmer clarinetists today, Joel Rubin joins Veretski Pass in a brand new program of rare music from the repertoires of the pre-World War II Polish klezmorim. It will feature hitherto unrecorded gems that slide effortlessly between delicately nuanced nigunim (wordless melodies) to raucous village dances. His momentous reunion with the members of Veretski Pass is the first in the Bay Area in twenty years and promises to be a landmark event.

Pico Union Project

Tickets $10 adults, $5 kids 12 and under

For more information and tickets, go to www.mostlykosher.com

Pico Union Project, the burgeoning Los Angeles nonprofit committed to cross-cultural collaboration, announced that acclaimed Jewish Culture Revival Ensemble, MOSTLY KOSHER, will headline a special performance of music and theater on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 8:00pm at its historic downtown Los Angeles venue to celebrate the release of their debut CD. The ensemble’s musical stylings will be complemented by an opening performance by Mexican-American chanteuse, ZADA, and World Music trio, Triumph of the Egg.

Mostly Kosher is known in Southern California as the next generation of Jewish Culture Revival Ensembles. Directed by the multi-talented clarinetist, pianist and singer Leeav Sofer, Mostly Kosher is already making a name in the world
music and klezmer communities. Leeav is joined by Janice “Rachele the Matchmaker” Mautner Markham on violin and shtick, as well as Casey Solow, Mike King, Michael Bolger, Adam Levy and Eric Hagstrom. From their standing-room-only performance at the Orange County Yiddish Festival to their exuberant performances at the Skirball Cultural Center, the John Anson Ford Theater and the Autry Museum, Mostly Kosher is taking the World Music and Jewish community by storm. Band leader Leeav Sofer has expanded his artistry to composer and arranger as Mostly Kosher performs his renditions on this traditional music. “It’s very exciting to
take the Klezmer and Yiddish classics and give them a unique feel, from Latin Jazz to Afro-Cuban, even adding a Hip-Hop rhythm,” says Sofer. “We often include South American Ladino music in our program, as well as Yiddish tangos with a
French flare. Jewish music is global, is multi-cultural, and we want our music to reflect that.”

Klezmer Influences in American Jewish Music SIDNEY KRUM YOUNG ARTISTS CONCERT SERIES Tues, December 2, 2014, 7pm YIVO Institute at the Center for Jewish History 15 West 16th Street NYC Admission: General $12 | YIVO Members $8 Box Office: smarttix.com | (212) 868-4444 For years, American Jewish composers have been integrating klezmer and Yiddish folk songs into new classical music, inventing a new form of artistic and cultural Jewish expression. In this unique lecture-demonstration, we present three of these outstanding and rarely performed pieces--Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind by Osvaldo Golijov, Six Yiddish Scenes by Paul Alan Levi, and Café Music by Paul Schoenfield--and delve into the intricacies and challenges of performing American Jewish music today. Special guests include internationally-acclaimed clarinetist Todd Palmer, who will discuss the klezmer and mystical elements of Dreams and Prayers; pianist and composer Paul Alan Levi, who will speak with Michael Leavitt, President of the American Society for Jewish Music about interpreting Yiddish Art Songs today; and Yuval Waldman, artistic director of the Sidney Krum Concert Series, who will introduce the hybrid klezmer-jazz elements in the closing piano trio Café Music.

Pete Rushefsky & the Ternovka Ensemble, Branford, CT, 13 Dec 2014

Branford Folk Music Society continues to celebrate its 40th season, presenting:
Pete Rushefsky & The Ternovka Ensemble

December 13, 2014, 8:00pm
Branford Folk Coffeehouse
First Congregational Church of Branford
1009 Main Street, Branford, CT.

Admission: $15 for nonmembers, $12 for members, $5 for kids 12 and under
Pay at the door.
Wheelchair accessible

For more information call 203-488-7715 (also to check on concert status/changes before leaving for the show)
folknotes.org/branfordfolk

Join us for a special Hanukkah concert and dance party with internationally renowned klezmer musician and composer Pete Rushefsky and his Ternovka Ensemble. In addition, Branford Folk's own renowned dance leader (and president) Willa Horowitz will teach dance steps at the end of the concert, turning the event into a rollicking party.

Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl/hammered dulcimer) and Jake Shulman-Ment (violin) are leading contemporary interpreters of the klezmer fidl and tsimbl (violin and hammered dulcimer) tradition. For hundreds of years, fidl and tsimbl, played in a duo format or as part of a small ensemble, formed the melodic and harmonic underpinning of Jewish music in Eastern Europe. With klezmer's transplantation to America, clarinets and jazz-influenced brass bands came to dominate the soundscape. However, since the 1970s there has been a growing revival of klezmer's string-based roots, and today musicians internationally are once again using fidl and tsimbl as a jumping-off point in the creation of contemporary Jewish music. Tonight they are joined by special guest Madeline Solomon on flute and Yiddish vocals.

Pete Rushefsky is a leading revivalist of the tsimbl (cimbalom), the traditional hammered dulcimer of klezmer music. He is one of a handful of contemporary klezmer musicians to use field and archival research in recreating a performance style for the instrument. Rushefsky is currently touring with violinist Itzhak Perlman in a program/recording titled "Eternal Echoes: Songs and Dances for the Soul," featuring the leading cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot, as well as klezmer revival legends Hankus Netsky and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. Additionally, Rushefsky serves as Executive Director of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance in New York City, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and nurturing the performing arts traditions of the city's immigrant communities. A popular instructor at camps internationally such as KlezKamp, KlezKanada and Yiddish Summer Weimar, Rushefsky is also the author of a pioneering instructional book on adapting the American 5-string banjo for klezmer. He is a well-known lecturer on klezmer and other traditional musics and has a number of published articles to his credit.

Jake Shulman-Ment is recognized internationally as both one of the leading performers of the klezmer violin tradition, as well as an innovator for his work in exploring the deep connection between klezmer and Moldavian muzica lautareasca (Romani/Gypsy music). In New York, Shulman-Ment worked with Center for Traditional Music and Dance to found the Tantshoyz (dance house) program. Modeled after the Hungarian tanchaz movement, the Tantshoyz works to revitalize the Yiddish dance tradition, and has been replicated in a number of cities in North America and Europe. Shulman-Ment was featured at the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival as part of the An-sky Ensemble, and his critically-acclaimed album "A Redl (A Wheel)" was released on the German Oriente label.

Our special guest, Madeline Solomon, is a noted klezmer flute player and Yiddish vocalist performing internationally. Hailing from Manchester, England, she has toured the continent as part of the Solomon Sisters, a Yiddish cabaret act that marries British wit with the swinging harmonies of the Barry Sisters.
Solomon has performed at a number of leading festivals and concert halls in the UK, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Glastonbury Festival, Royal Albert Hall, and the Manchester Royal Exchange, and major venues around the continent.

Branford Folk Coffeehouse welcomes refreshment donations of pastries, cold drinks and other assorted goodies! Bring your own travel mug or thermos and take home any leftover coffee!

No door charge, but your donations are appreciated.

In November, three of us - Carl on flutes and guitar, John on bass and Steve on clarinet and sax - once again had a chance to play with Maine's own master of Middle Eastern percussion, Eric LaPerna. It was so much fun for us (and the audience) we sought out a venue for that lineup to play more regularly. We're pleased to say that Blue, located right in the middle of Portland (650 Congress St.) and one of the Port City's premier spots for all kinds of music, offered us a monthly appearance.

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.

It's time for another klezmer session! Dan will be teaching us a new tune, and we may review some old ones. We're meeting a little earlier this time, so hope you all can come. It will be about 2 1/2 hrs and snacks will be provided as usual

Chances are we'll have much better weather and may even be able to open windows! So let's serenade some neighbors with our growing talents. See you there!

Student Union Auditorium
Shanghai, China

Often called a “Jewish roots band,” The Klezmatics have been playing — and celebrating — the heritage of Eastern European Jewish music and Yiddish culture for more than 25 years. Although tradition is at the core of what they do, the Klezmatics have developed a unique musical hybrid, rooted in the klezmer genre but very much of the modern world. Not familiar with klezmer? No worries. Previous experience is not required in order to be transported by the Klezmatics to another place and time.

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: Berührende und mitreißende Klezmer-Melodien, welche über Jahrhunderte hinweg verschmolzen sind mit den Bauerntänzen osteuropäischer Länder, sie 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).

New Yiddish Rep: "Seltzer Nights" NYC, 18 Apr 2015

New Yiddish Rep’s “Seltzer Nights” will shake things up this spring!

Sat, Apr 18, 2015, 7pm
Castillo Theatre
543 W. 42nd St.
NYC

Tickets are $35. Call Ovation Tix at 866/811-4111, www.newyiddishrep.org or visit the Castillo Theatre box office, 543 West 42nd Street.

An audacious new show headlined by the preeminent Yiddish vaudevillian Shane Baker and starring a cast of tens will shake things up at New York this winter. “Seltzer Nights” recreates the bawdy, boisterous and often back-biting atmosphere of a Yiddish music hall on the Lower East Side of a century ago, but with much better acoustics. Staged as an immersive theatrical cabaret, this star-infested variety show features a who’s who of the booming downtown Yiddish theater and music scene. “Seltzer Nights” dusts off some of the more risqué songs and comedy routines of the time as well as some of the more blatantly theatrical moments of popular melodrama that were all the rage on the Yiddish rialto. Summoning up the spirits of legends like Molly Picon, Jenny Goldstein, Jacob Adler, Boris Thomashefsky, Dzigan and Schumackher, and Fanny Brice, “Seltzer Nights” will keep you up at night. Just like a good pastrami sandwich!

The score is the newest commission from the Foundation's New Jewish Culture Network (NJCN) and marks the first feature-length film composition by Svigals who will perform live with virtuoso pianist Marilyn Lerner at each of the screenings of this cinema classic. Set in Poland and Tsarist Russia, the film portrays a woman's struggle to overcome adversity in a story of secret identifies, heroic measures, and triumphant love.

New Yiddish Rep: "Seltzer Nights" NYC, 9 May 2015

New Yiddish Rep’s “Seltzer Nights” will shake things up this spring!

Sat, May 9, 2015, 7pm
Castillo Theatre
543 W. 42nd St.
NYC

Tickets are $35. Call Ovation Tix at 866/811-4111, www.newyiddishrep.org or visit the Castillo Theatre box office, 543 West 42nd Street.

An audacious new show headlined by the preeminent Yiddish vaudevillian Shane Baker and starring a cast of tens will shake things up at New York this winter. “Seltzer Nights” recreates the bawdy, boisterous and often back-biting atmosphere of a Yiddish music hall on the Lower East Side of a century ago, but with much better acoustics. Staged as an immersive theatrical cabaret, this star-infested variety show features a who’s who of the booming downtown Yiddish theater and music scene. “Seltzer Nights” dusts off some of the more risqué songs and comedy routines of the time as well as some of the more blatantly theatrical moments of popular melodrama that were all the rage on the Yiddish rialto. Summoning up the spirits of legends like Molly Picon, Jenny Goldstein, Jacob Adler, Boris Thomashefsky, Dzigan and Schumackher, and Fanny Brice, “Seltzer Nights” will keep you up at night. Just like a good pastrami sandwich!

100 EVENTS, ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, SCHOLARS

New Yiddish Rep: "Seltzer Nights" NYC, 13 Jun 2015

New Yiddish Rep’s “Seltzer Nights” will shake things up this spring!

Sat, Jun 13, 2015, 7pm
Castillo Theatre
543 W. 42nd St.
NYC

Tickets are $35. Call Ovation Tix at 866/811-4111, www.newyiddishrep.org or visit the Castillo Theatre box office, 543 West 42nd Street.

An audacious new show headlined by the preeminent Yiddish vaudevillian Shane Baker and starring a cast of tens will shake things up at New York this winter. “Seltzer Nights” recreates the bawdy, boisterous and often back-biting atmosphere of a Yiddish music hall on the Lower East Side of a century ago, but with much better acoustics. Staged as an immersive theatrical cabaret, this star-infested variety show features a who’s who of the booming downtown Yiddish theater and music scene. “Seltzer Nights” dusts off some of the more risqué songs and comedy routines of the time as well as some of the more blatantly theatrical moments of popular melodrama that were all the rage on the Yiddish rialto. Summoning up the spirits of legends like Molly Picon, Jenny Goldstein, Jacob Adler, Boris Thomashefsky, Dzigan and Schumackher, and Fanny Brice, “Seltzer Nights” will keep you up at night. Just like a good pastrami sandwich!

Co-Presented with Make Music New York and the Museum of Jewish Heritage – Living Memorial to the Holocaust

Svigals has written a suite of tunes that will take players and listeners on a tour of the basic klezmer forms: horas, bulgars, freylekhs, and more. Playing the piece will start you on the path to the secrets of an authentic Yiddish playing style – the timbres and rhythmic feel, the modes and dance beats, slides, trills and krekhzn that make a violinist sound like a bonafide klezmer.

Steve Weintraub is a specialist in contemporary and traditional Jewish dances. He travels regularly throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe to give workshops, including KlezKamp, KlezKanada, and the Jewish Festival in Krakow. Born on Governor’s Island and Bar Mitzvahed in the Bronx, Steven Lee Weintraub received his dance training in Manhattan with Alvin Ailey and Erick Hawkins, among others.

Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch (Zisl) is an ethnomusicologist, Yiddish and music educator, composer, clarinetist, pianist, singer, founder of Litvakus and Minsker Kapelye bands, Yiddish Language and Culture Instructor at The New School. Zisl has been continuously contributing to the National Yiddish Theatre – Folksbiene in various capacities, he has performed/ recorded with Michael Alpert, Paul Brody, Psoy Korolenko, Frank London, Yale Strom, Lev "Ljova" Zhurbin, and Inna Barmash, to name a few.

When he moved to the US in 2008, Slepovitch brought over his rich collection of Litvak/ Belarusian Jewish musical folklore, based on which he created a multimedia program Traveling the Yiddishland, presented by the NYT—Folksbiene. He scored and musically directed a number of different theater, TV and film productions; Taught internationally at seminars in Yiddish /klezmer music and Jewish studies, including BIMA at Brandeis University. Read autobiographical article by Dmitri Slepovitch in Jewish Forward.

For Weintraub, much of his career has been creating and performing Jewish dance; he has worked with choreographers Felix Fibich and Shula Kivel, and has performed the work of Fred Berk. He was a principal dancer and choreographer with the Israeli folkdance group Parparim and was assistant director of the annual Israeli Folk Dance Festival in NYC.

After a 20 year hiatus living in Atlanta and Chicago performing, choreographing and teaching, Steve is excited about having recently returned to the east coast to live and work.

Creating a Culture of Celebration

Since bible times Jews have celebrated with dance. In Eastern Europe, over hundreds of years, the style of music we call Klezmer evolved to serve the evolving way Jews danced and celebrated. Enfolded into these dances is the expression of a world of Jewish values: honour and respect, self-control, playfulness, love of community, balanced with individual expression, inclusiveness and virtuosity, humour, tenderness and great high spirits.

For Jews celebrating at a simcha, particularly a wedding, dancing is an important mitzvah (m’sameakh khusen v’kale). For this reason dancing is not only a pleasure, but fulfils your obligation as a guest to make the celebrants happy- it is a way of honouring the celebrants.

Steve will teach steps, figures and styles for many of the dances in the Klezmer repertoire: freylachs, bulgar, sher and zhok, to name a few. There will be a special focus on solo and couples improvisation. He will also tell you a lot about the history and evolution of Jewish dance.

Aaron Alexander has a long history of performing Klezmer music (and Jazz) on a high level with many of the renowned artists in the genre. He has been playing Klezmer music for over 27 years, and he finally decided to make a traditional Klezmer recording as a leader, (having appeared on dozens as a sideman). Alexander invited two of the finest young(ish) Klezmorim in the world to join him: Michael Winograd on clarinet, and Patrick Farrell on accordion. The three have some experience playing together. This recording was done by design without extensive rehearsal, in order to capture the feeling of playing “tunes we know” without overly self-conscious tentativeness.

Together they have made a CD here that reflects their deep experience with this music and has a feeling of spontanaeity and joy, the love of this music, the party music of the Jewish People of Eastern Europe and Brooklyn and Hell’s Kitchen.
Please come help us celebrate this trio’s new CD!

Shpilkes Thursday, December 10, 8:30pm Péniche Anako 61 Quai de la Seine, 75019 Paris, France Shpilkes a été fondé en 2010 par Eléonore Biezunski et Charles Rappoport. De fil en aiguille, de reprises en retouches, Shpilkes rafistole l'étoffe d'une musique populaire, à danser, à rire, à boire et à pleurer, agençant les pièces, pas toutes rapportées, d'une culture qui ne finit pas de se réinventer. Le groupe développe un répertoire dansant d'Europe de l'est et des chansons yiddish contemporaines, méditations sur le temps qui passe ou explosions de joie.

Big Yiddish Klezmer Party, Philadelphia, PA, 20 Dec 2015

Susan Lankin-Watts and Dan Blacksberg of the Community Klezmer Initiative host an evening of traditional and innovative Klezmer music focused on getting the crowd performing -- on instruments and on the dance floor. Dancing to be led by Steve Weintraub.

Sun, Dec 20, 2015, 6pm
The Rotunda
4014 Walnut St.
Philadelphia, PA

Come join in as the Community Klezmer Orchestra (led by Lankin-Watts) and the Klezmer in the Afternoon All-Stars (led by Blacksberg) rock the "hoyz" (Yiddish for "house"), setting the stage for dancing under the guidance of Steve Weintraub, the Pied Piper of Yiddish dance.

Energy and momentum around Klezmer is at an all-time high in Philadelphia. The Community Klezmer Initiative (CKI), according to founder Susan Lankin-Watts, has been "harnessing that interest and excitement through workshops that invite participation from musicians at all levels, and through public Klezmer jams that include performances, improvisation and dance parties." It's now time to celebrate a year of successful CKI programming and to "bring the joyous energy of Klezmer into West Philly, at an event during which all who love this music can delight in it together," adds Dan Blacksberg.

This all-ages event is free. No advance tickets needed!

In his timeless contribution to literature and Jewish culture, Sholem Aleichem captured a poignantly rebellious spirit in the stories of Tevye and his daughters. Immortalized in "Fiddler on the Roof," these young women represent a new generation of free thinkers, grappling with tradition to pursue their dreams. Join us as we imagine, with loving and bittersweet humor, how Tevye's daughters, and subsequent generations, forge a proud new tradition of social activism as revolutionaries, union leaders, Freedom Riders, Wall Street Occupiers, feminists, and militant millennials.

Mostly Kosher, a Los Angeles based indie-global-collective, radically reconstructs Judaic and American cultural musical roots. Through ravenous post-klezmer beats and arresting Yiddish refrains, Mostly Kosher is a musical feast that explodes into a global food-fight of Jazz, Latin, Rock, Hip Hop, World and Folk. These fearless soundsmiths highlight the architecture of heritage music and yet raze it to the ground.

Three For Silver runs off the friction of opposing forces. Thunderous bass and dreamy melody, baritone growl and smooth soprano, new music and timeworn style. The band creates a sound that is both wholly unique and yet familiar. If it's retro, no one has found its time period. If it's folk music, no one has found its country of origin

Le groupe développe un répertoire dansant d’Europe de l’est et des chansons yiddish contemporaines, méditations sur le temps qui passe ou explosions de joie.

Concert exceptionnel de Shpilkes à Paris, avant de partir pour le Festival de Musique Juive de Carpentras !

Il est possible de dîner à l'Angora (et c'est très bon !)
Tarif : chapeau (10 euros suggérés)

1611 Chicago Avenue
Evanston, IL, 60201.

Applying Chicago’s jazz world to the performance style of the middle of the century New York Yiddish theatre, old standards, and Sephardic and Klezmer songs, Schmaltz! rubs songs like And the Angels Sing and Bei Mir Bis du Schoen to a fresh patina with their total of over 150 years of music experience. Rebecca Toon's sensuous vocal and interpretive brilliance is sandwiched between her bright smile and her wickedly fun wit and humor. Henry Meisels sings tenor opera and the Jewish repertoire in ChickenFat Orchestra. There is no charge to attend, but this is the residents' dinner concert. You are welcome and might feel more comfortable ordering a drink and/or a dinner (they're good!).

Three renowned performers of Eastern European Jewish music come together in this exceptional new trio: Lorin Sklamberg, co-founder of the legendary Klezmatics; uniquely innovative clarinetist Merlin Shepherd, and the remarkable vocalist/pianist Polina Shepherd, originally from Siberia.
Each performer represents a different nation, yet their backgrounds are closely related, their ancestors emigrating from the Ukraine to find a better world elsewhere. This fresh collaboration blends traditional and contemporary Yiddish and Russian song with klezmer styles and Southern Mediterranean music. Influenced by several cultures and maintaining individual styles, the trio plays original and traditional material with freedom and spontaneity. With mournful solo clarinet, bouncy village songs, and some fiery vocals, their performance takes us on a breathtaking musical journey that is full of spirited joy and deep emotion.

the Nu Haven Kapelye CD release party

Nov 10, 2016
Whitney Cultural Commons
1253 Whitney Ave.
Hamden, CT

Some of the thirteen tracks on this album feature the fabulous Seltzer Sisters singing duo, some are purely instrumental. Some tracks feature the entire 30 or so musicians in the Kapelye and others feature the Spies of the Balkans, the Kapelye's all-star smaller group. Some of the songs are Klezmer, some more big band swing, and others are in a category that we don't even have a name for. Every track is an original interpretation, and all of the music here was arranged by me (David Chevan) or by one of the other members of the group.

Monday, November 14 at 6 PM - 8 PM
Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center
111 Amsterdam Ave,
New York, New York 10023

FREE, but requires ticket
www.nypl.org

One of the Metropolitan Klezmer’s specialties is the richly varied music found in vintage Yiddish film soundtracks. Join us for an evening of original klezmer arrangements performed live by the full octet, interpolated with scenes both from celebrated movie classics and lesser-known cinematic gems onscreen: Hasidic chant and sewing song from The Dybbuk; tenement wedding dance from Uncle Moses; melodies performed for newsreels made by Moscow’s State Yiddish Theater; Second Avenue swing, haunting love songs, and a little-known folkloric grandma’s dance, as heard in the Polish films of Molly Picon. A panoply of footage excerpts will be shared onscreen, interspersed with the band's exhilarating live musical interpretations of music found & inspired by vintage celluloid versions: Archival clips alternating with our live ensemble's re-takes on an astonishing array of movie music.

This multi-media concert event is offered free to the public -- first come, first served; so we recommend arriving early for a seat.

KlezCalifornia klezmer workshop/jam, San Francisco, CA, 16 Nov 2016

KlezCalifornia is very pleased to launch a series of klezmer workshops and jams this Fall.

Sunday, Nov 16, 1:30-4:15pm.
Congregation B'nai Emunah
3595 Taraval St,
San Francisco, CA 94116

Each event will have two sessions The first session will be a 90-minute klezmer instrumental workshop for musicians with little or no klezmer experience but who are proficient on their instruments. It will be taught by an experienced klezmer musician and teacher, and will include playing tunes with charts, getting familiar with klezmer techniques, and learning some tunes by ear at a slow pace.

After a short break, there will be a 90 minute klezmer jam session for those with at least intermediate familiarity with playing klezmer and/or jamming. After the leader begins the session with a warm up tune or two, musicians will take turns "calling" a tune, with everyone learning new tunes by ear or enjoying playing/improvising on familiar ones.The leader will provide guidance for pace, transitions, and ensure an overall smoothly run and fun evening!

Come for both sessions or just one. Refreshments provided. Donation of $10-$20 requested. Reservations not necessary but greatly appreciated, please email jams[at]klezcalifornia.org and indicate what instrument you play and which event and which session(s) you plan to attend. We will also add you to a special mailing list through which you will receive more information, including who will teach/lead each event.

Over the next year, we will try out several models of workshops and jams.Your feedback is critical so let us know your preferences!

Klezmer Jam, Seattle, WA, 16 Nov 2016

Fall is seriously upon us and music is a wonderful way to lighten up our days and evenings.

The Klezmer Nutcracker—Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, Cambridge, MA, 4 Dec 2016

album coverShirim Klezmer Orchestra perform "The Klezmer Nutcracker"

Sunday, 4 Dec, 3pm
Club Passim,
47 Palmer St.,
Cambridge, MA
617-492-5300

tickets $20/16. Celebrate Chanukah and Christmas all at once! Bring the kids, bring your grandmother! Be ready to move. This is music for the soul.

Shirim’s legendary klezmer rendition of the Nutcracker is a brilliant cross-cultural achievement which is fun, serious and rocking all at once. They distill the classic ballet suite down to its folky essence and will change the way you think of Tchaikovsky forever. Emphasizing the Eastern European elements of the score with witty intelligence and playful irreverence, Shirim redefines the modern melting pot of "world music." Its overwhelming virtuosity in both the performance and musical conception harken back to the manic genius of Spike Jones' classical parodies and the artistry of Ellington's classic transcription.

This family-friendly Sunday afternoon concert will feature the Klezmer Nutcracker, traditional klezmer tunes as well as Yiddish holiday favorites sung by Anneke Reich.

A unique collaboration between a new york-based klezmer band Litvakus (originally from Belarus) and a Berlin-based singer Sasha Lurje, who is well-known in Mtl due to her association with Klezkanada.

Goyfriend (druG-Goy) is a new program featuring one of the most sought after voices in klezmer music and critically acclaimed Litvakus, a band known for its raw, "rootsy" and energetic performance of Jewish music.This program offers for the first time to western audiences a chance not only to hear rare northern European Jewish music, but more importantly the context in which that music was created. The brainchild of Latvian native, Lurje and Belarussian Zisl Slepovitch - Litvakus’ bandleader, and an accomplished composer, clarinetist and ethno-musicologist, and is based on their extensive research and field recordings in their native countries and the surrounding area.

The fear of the other is a primal biological instinct. The other is scary. The other is naturally perceived as a threat. Authors and directors exploit that fear in movies about the extraterrestrial aliens. The chauvinist politicians "divide and conquer" by picturing migrants and refugees in the eyes of their electorate as that scary Other (how topical it is today!). By launching the program GoyFriend -- the Jew in the Eyes of the Other - together with my colleagues - Sasha Lurje and Litvakus we're digging out those ancient fears from the Baltic and Slavic folklore. We want to place them in the bright daylight and examine, and also see attempts to near, understand, reflect and sometimes accept the Other in one's own narrative.

Wed, 22 Mar, 2017
National Centre for Early Music
York, UK

Three renowned performers of Eastern European Jewish music come together in this exceptional new trio: Lorin Sklamberg, co-founder of the legendary Klezmatics; uniquely innovative clarinetist Merlin Shepherd, and the remarkable vocalist/pianist Polina Shepherd, originally from Siberia.
Each performer represents a different nation, yet their backgrounds are closely related, their ancestors emigrating from the Ukraine to find a better world elsewhere. This fresh collaboration blends traditional and contemporary Yiddish and Russian song with klezmer styles and Southern Mediterranean music. Influenced by several cultures and maintaining individual styles, the trio plays original and traditional material with freedom and spontaneity. With mournful solo clarinet, bouncy village songs, and some fiery vocals, their performance takes us on a breathtaking musical journey that is full of spirited joy and deep emotion.

"The Geshikhte/Story: A tiny shtetl in Dubiecko, Poland; three generations of a family klezmer band; post shabbos torchlight parade to Belzer rebbe; 1934 Bar Mitzvah on a boat to Amerca; family members live or die in Holocaust; Jewish music manuscripts found in family violin case. Fast forward to 2009, Adrianne Greenbaum and Sharon Frant Brooks make a miraculous shidduk/shidduch, Greenbaum transcribes the many scribbled pages of music, travels to Poland and performs a few of the tunes at the cemetary, and finally, “FleytMuzik’s” musicians perform these works that were alive in early 19th c. Poland, with the full musical story coming to fruition today."

Three renowned performers of Eastern European Jewish music come together in this exceptional new trio: Lorin Sklamberg, co-founder of the legendary Klezmatics; uniquely innovative clarinetist Merlin Shepherd, and the remarkable vocalist/pianist Polina Shepherd, originally from Siberia.
Each performer represents a different nation, yet their backgrounds are closely related, their ancestors emigrating from the Ukraine to find a better world elsewhere. This fresh collaboration blends traditional and contemporary Yiddish and Russian song with klezmer styles and Southern Mediterranean music. Influenced by several cultures and maintaining individual styles, the trio plays original and traditional material with freedom and spontaneity. With mournful solo clarinet, bouncy village songs, and some fiery vocals, their performance takes us on a breathtaking musical journey that is full of spirited joy and deep emotion.

Thursday 4th May 2017 | From 8pm
Rich Mix,
35-47 Bethnal Green Road,
London, E1 6LA UK

Tickets £10 advance available here, £12 Door

Part klezmer cabaret, part oriental ragtime, part theatrical storytelling, Berlin-based The Disorientalists are presented by Dash Arts and Nest Collective.

Disorientalists are Yuriy Gurzhy (RotFront, Russendisko, Born in UA), Daniel Kahn (Daniel Kahn and Te Painted Bird, Brothers Nazarof, Semer Ensemble) and Marina Frenk (Marina & Kapelsky, Real Baba Dunyah). The three Berliners-bychoice joined forces to write and perform a piece of musical theatre based on the life of Essad Bey a.k.a. Kurban Said a.k.a. Lev Nussimbaum, author of the great Romeo and Juliet-esque novel 'Ali and Nino', set in Baku during the upheaval of the Russian revolution. A little bit folkloristic, a little bit klezmer, incorporating elements of swing and oriental romance, Gurzhy and three other band members perform songs inspired by Essad Bey on baglama, accordion and piano.

The London Klezmer Quartet returns for a summertime course designed for instrumentalists (including keyboard players) from all musical backgrounds, classical, folk or jazz. Applicants must be of at least roughly grade 4 level (no formal qualifications needed), and an ability to read music helps, though it’s not essential. The LKQ’s coaching is all about interactive learning. They concentrate on repertoire and attention to melody, accompaniment and ornamentation, and if appropriate will also introduce dance elements to the course. Oral and aural learning methods will help those unfamiliar with it acquaint themselves to the style more quickly - though we hope for many return visitors! Putting music into its historical context is an important part of the course, as is the telling of stories of musicians past and present.

Since the early 1960s, Hassidic music has become increasingly central to both mainstream and alternative Jewish religious practice. Since the 1980s, it's also become a crucial component of the klezmer and Yiddish music revival. Hankus Netsky explores the evolution of Hassidic music, from its inception in the late 1700s to today.

Two of the leading lights of the Yiddish music renaissance join forces in this program based on their recent joint album, Vilde Mekhaye (Wild Ecstasy). The soulful and inimitable vocalist Eleanor Reissa - known as the queen of Yiddish cabaret - and trumpeter-composer Frank London - the mystical high priest of New Wave avant-klez jazz - have been inspiring each other for more than a decade. Together with the great Klezmer Brass Allstars, they explore the world of Yiddish song, from the obscure to the chestnuts, from the sacred to the profane, fueled by the best brass band in the land.

Ezekiel's Wheels Klezmer Band brings passion, virtuosity, and contagious energy to every performance, with the intimacy of chamber music and the intensity of a rowdy dance band. The Wheels unique style was forged in the subway stations and farmers markets of Boston, where the informal setting and ever-changing audience created an ideal environment for musical experimentation. They honed their craft with bulgars and 1990s pop covers for the morning rush hour and mixed doinas and zhoks with fresh produce on the weekends, building a community of fans and friends across the city. We are excited to present this internationally renowned band in its Yidstock debut.

The history of the klezmer revival is in large part the story of Andy Statman, whose 1979 album Jewish Klezmer Music, recorded with Zev Feldman, literally announced the return of the forgotten music of the Old World shtetls to the outside world. Since then, Andy (who learned the sonorities of the music firsthand from immigrant-era musician Dave Tarras) has immersed himself in the music of the Hasidim. Whether he is playing mandolin or one of the clarinets that Tarras bequeathed to him, Andy performs a singular, contemporary fusion of Jewish, jazz, and Americana styles, a genre that this National Heritage fellow and Grammy nominee owns with his longtime musical partners, bassist Jim Whitney and drummer Larry Eagle.

Craig Judelman has become well known in the northwest for his fine old-time musicianship. Next week he returns with a project of Yiddish music, joined by the fine Latvian singer, Sasha Lurje.

Lebedik: shlepping goles

Jewish history has always involved migration, it has never had a culture that only existed in one place. People have moved around and lived in different lands, always dreaming of another part of the world. Living in diaspora (goles), Jews dreamt of the promised land in Israel and the golden land of the american dream. They carried this weight- schlepping goles, through their travels and the longing and displacement of their lives are retold in the songs.

Based in Berlin this new project by an international trio rekindles the songs and stories of our migrations, looking to our art and heritage for a context to the challenges so many immigrants and refugees face in our world today. The musicians in the band come from three homes for

Yiddish music: Sasha Lurje is a singer from Latvia, Craig Judelman is a fiddler from the USA and Ira Shiran is an accordionist from Israel. (For this gig they are thrilled to feature special guest Keith Judelman on accordion).

Together they explore the transformations of Yiddish music, from the Shtetls of the Old World through its journey to the city, and the new lands of America and Israel. Retracing the steps of our ancestors through the songs that sustained them, this program makes sure that this tradition remains lebedik - alive and lively!

French violonist Eleonore Biezunski has been exploring the Yiddish traditions of the old and new world for quite some time now - both as a musician and as a archivist for YIVO. For this new project, she will be joined by Lauren Brody (vocals, accordion) and Joanna Sternberg (vocals, double bass). Together they will explore the "yerushe," the heritage of women's Yiddish folksongs, orally transmitted to them or preserved with great care and love by folklorists such as Ruth Rubin.

More info/reservations

Delve into the wonderful world of klezmer with members of the London Klezmer Quartet. Ilana Cravitz (violin), Susi Evans (clarinet and accordion) and Indra Buraczewska (double bass & vocals) will take you deep into freylekhs, bulgars, zhoks, khosidls and terkishers, looking at the modes, ornamentation and rhythms that characterise traditional Eastern European Jewish folk music. Play in a klezmer band, be part of the ever-growing Halsway Klezmer Kapelye (big band), and learn steps for the dances that the music traditionally accompanies. Reading music is not essential as we'll be working by ear quite a bit, but we will also look at interpreting written music. All instruments are welcome. For players of grade 4 and above or equivalent.

French violonist and singer Eleonore Biezunski has been exploring the Yiddish traditions of the old and new world for quite some time now – both as a musician and as a archivist for YIVO. For this new project, she will be joined by Lauren Brody (vocals, accordion).
Lauren Brody, a founding member of both Kapelye and Mikveh, is one of the world’s foremost experts in traditional Bulgarian music, and her singing and accordion-playing in Yiddish performances is legendary. She travels the world as a bearer of Yiddish musical tradition.
Together they will explore a repertoire of women’s Yiddish folksongs, orally transmitted to them or preserved with great care and love by folklorists such as Ruth Rubin

FILM | "Der Purimspiler" ("The Jester")

Sunday, March 4, 2018, 2:00 PM
Yiddish Book Center
1021 West St.
Amherst, MA 01002

With its lively circus and vaudeville music and set pieces, The Jester provides a glimpse of 1937 Warsaw’s thriving Yiddish revues and cabarets, which were destroyed soon after. Many of the film’s Polish- Jewish crew and actors were killed in the Holocaust, making the film’s touches of melancholy even more profound for today’s audiences.

Poland, USA, 1937, 88 mins., directed by Joseph Green and Joan Nowina-Przybylski, Yiddish with English subtitles.
Restored by The National Center for Jewish Film.

COST:
Student | $4
