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...).

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).

Armed with his Akai MPC, heritage and love for genre-bending music, Socalled, aka Josh Dolgin, is a Yiddish rapping, accordion wielding hip-hop maestro. Heralded by Klezmer and hip hop musicians alike, he builds Jewish music from the bottom-up. Previous albums Hiphopkhasene (Piranha), Socalled Seder (2005, JDUB), Ghettoblaster (2007, JDUB ) and now Sleepover (2011, Dare to Care) reached into the past to mine an amalgamation of traditional and contemporary influences.

You Know More Yiddish Than You Think!
How much Yiddish do you know? Probably more than you think. Some English words have made their way into Yiddish. Many Yiddish words are now commonly used in English. And a surprising number of Yiddish and English words are related – they sound almost the same in both languages. Our four lively games give you a chance to show off the Yiddish you didn’t even know you know. This exhibition is made possible by Nancy and Stephen (Skippy) Weinstein with additional support by Leo and Eda Rabinovitz, and Chana and Yechiel Schachner in memory of Malky Toby Schachner.

Sept. 10, 2011, 8:30pm
Strauss/Warschauer Duo
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.
Admission: $15 for nonmembers, $12 for members, $5 for kids 12 and under

New York, NY
Yiddish songstress Adrienne Cooper, klezmer drummer/subtext maven Eve Sicular, pianist/comedy ace Dan Rosengard, and reedman/shtickologist Paul Shapiro team up one night only for "Krankayt: Jews, Hypochondria & Song." This deliriously thought-provoking musical revue explores traditional and popular songs reflecting a Jewish image of the body and morbid concern for health.
$15 members, $20 non-members

From the medical treatises of Maimonides (who did advocate chicken soup), to the prophetic decrepitude of Kafka, to cranky Yiddish nursery rhymes, to Jewish inflected Broadway show tunes, and from anguished folk songs to novelty numbers of the early and late 20th century, this evening’s performance will musically explore the aches, pains, and plagues of the Jewish body and soul.
"Krankayt: Jews, Hypochondria and Song" is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Lecture in Yiddish with Eddy Portnoy on “Little Smart Alecks: Professional Mirth Makers Zuni Maud and Yosl Cutler and their Puppets”
Lecture in Yiddish “Little Smart Alecks: Professional Mirth Makers Zuni Maud and Yosl Cutler and their Puppets” by Eddy Portnoy on Sunday, October 24, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. The lecture will be illustrated with audiovisual material and will feature the short film “Yosl Cutler and his Puppets.” At the Jewish Public Library, 5151 Côte Ste-Catherine Road, Montreal. Sponsored by the Nathan Igelfeld Foundation. Cost $5 for JPL members and students, $10 others. For advance tickets and information, call 514-345-6416 or 514-345-2627 ext. 3006 or visit www.jewishpubliclibrary.org.
Anything is possible in Yiddish theatre – but dolls that talk back to you? When artists Zuni Maud and Yosl Cutler created their “Modicut” Yiddish puppet theatre at the end of 1925, it was an instant hit among the Yiddish-speaking masses in New York City, and within a few years they were touring Europe and the Soviet Union to great acclaim. Come hear the fascinating history of this unusual piece of Yiddish culture.
Eddy Portnoy teaches Yiddish language and Jewish literature and culture at Rutgers University. A contributor to The Forward and Tablet Magazine, he writes on Jewish popular culture with an emphasis on Yiddish.
The author will be introduced by Rivka Augenfeld, co-Chair of theYiddish Cultural Committee of the Jewish Public Library.
The Jewish Public Library, founded in Montreal in 1914, is committed to encouraging and promoting the Yiddish language, culture and literature, by collecting and preserving Yiddish materials, and by presenting a variety of cultural events.

The next All Star New York Yiddish Sing-along will take place on Tuesday, October 12, at 7:30pm at Congregation Rodeph Sholom, 7 West 83rd Street.
This will be the third such event in recent years led by the inimitable artistic director of the National Yiddish Theater - Folksbiene Zalmen Mlotek. The large audiences that attended the earlier two Yiddish Sing-alongs found themselves in the warm embrace of a heymish community sharing songs that evoked memories of a vibrant Yiddish speaking world, and connections to its glorious culture. The high percentage of younger participants was yet another sign that Yiddish is very much alive and will be part of the New York experience for generations to come.
This year's line-up of singers includes some of our most popular performers of Jewish music - artists who travel the world, and perform in a wide range of musical genres: Cantor Bob Abelson, Phyllis Berk, Joanne Borts, Adrienne Cooper, Magda Fishman, Cantor Rebecca Garfein, Annette Ezekiel Kogan, Avram Mlotek, Avram Pengas, Daniella Rabbani, Basya Schechter, Di Shekhter Tekhter, Cantor Dan Singer, Zalmen Mlotek's Yiddish Singers, The Folksbiene Troupe, The Jewish People's Philharmonic Chorus/yidisher filharmonisher folks khor, under the musical direction of Binyumen Schaechter - and some special surprise performers
There will be a Klezmer band accompanying the concert - with some of our finest musicians, including Margot Leverett, Marty Confurius, Matt Temking and others.
Every song will be available in transliteration so that every audience member will be able to fully participate and fill the glorious sanctuary of Congregation Rodeph Sholem with the sounds of Mame-loshn. Our emcee will be that debonair Yiddishist from Avantura - Corey Breier.
The concert is presented by Golden Land Concerts & Connections, with support from the National Yiddish Theater - Folksbiene, The Workmen's Circle/ Arbeter-Ring, League for Yiddish/Afn Shvel, Yugntruf, Congregation Rodeph Sholom, Congress for Jewish Culture, Yiddish Artists & Friends/ Actors Club/Yiddish Theatrical Alliance.
General admission tickets are $20 if purchased in advance, and $22 on the day of the concert. VIP reserved seating, with a post concert wine reception sponsored by City Winery, will be $50 if purchased in advance, and $60 on the day of the concert. Group rates - 15 or more tickets - 20% discount if purchased in advance.

"The spirited klezmer outfit, a Boston area treasure for a quarter century, has performed internationally and collaborated with Maurice Sendak and Woody Allen, among others. Clarinetist Glenn Dickson, trumpeter Gary Bohan, accordionist Michael McLaughlin, tubist Jim Gray, and drummer Eric Rosenthal will be joined by amazing young singer Claire Dickson, a recent Downbeat magazine Student Jazz Award Winner, who will sing several classic Jewish jazz tunes." —Kevin Lowenthal, Globe Correspondent

The Schaechter/Gottesman dynasty has played a central role in America's Yiddish-speaking academic and cultural scene. From renowned linguist Mordkhe Schaechter and poet and songwriter Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman onwards, the family has produced poets, musicians, journalists and educators active in keeping Yiddish alive and thriving. In this unique event, Meena-Lifshe Viswanath - current MIT student and native Yiddish speaker - will give an insider's history of the family, and talk about growing up as a Yiddish speaker
in the 21st century. The programme will be interspersed with Yiddish songs and poems, from within the family and beyond. Daughter of Yiddish poet Gitl Schaechter-Viswanath, and one of Mordkhe Schaechter's sixteen Yiddish-speaking grandchildren, Meena-Lifshe Viswanath is a native of Teaneck, New Jersey. She is currently a Civil Engineering major at MIT, and has spent the past year at the University of Cambridge as a Cambridge-MIT exchange student. Meena-Lifshe is currently Treasurer of the Yiddish youth organisation Yugntruf, having previously served as its Chairperson. She was a member of the now-defunct Pripetshik
Singers, and now sings in Techiya, MIT's Jewish a cappella group.
This event will take place at the Spiro Ark Centre, 25-26 Enford Street, London W1H 1DW, UK at 7:30 pm on Sunday 13th June 2010.

Musical Salute to Molly Picon, Star of the Yiddish Theatre!
Dr. Diane Cypkin tells—through English narration—the life story of this exciting First Lady of the Yiddish Stage through the countless songs she sang and often wrote during her many, many years on the Yiddish stage. Indeed, the concert is a cornucopia, a beautiful bouquet, of tangos, waltzes, and fox-trots, that will have you humming for days. The concert is a tribute to a legend!
Diane Cypkin, Ph.D., has appeared in many Yiddish language musical productions spanning more than two decades. She was Sheyne, opposite Joseph Buloff in Ossip Dymov’s Yoshke muzikant (Joseph the Musician) at the Folksbiene Playhouse; Beylke, David Opatoshu’s daughter, in Sholom Aleichem’s Dos groyse gevins (The Big Winner) at the Eden Theatre; Gitale in Ben Bonus’s production of Light, Lively, and Yiddish
at the Belasco Theatre on Broadway; and Tsirl in the Mary Soriano presentation Di yidishe tsigaynerke (The Jewish Gypsy) at Town Hall in New York. Dr. Cypkin has done much concert work, especially highlighting Molly Picon and other Yiddish theatre greats. As a child of survivors, Dr. Cypkin has been very involved in the Holocaust remembrance activities, and has participated and performed in numerous events in Israel and the United States.

IN MEMORY OF AVROM SUTZKEVER: A Public Program
Monday, February 22, 2010
6:00 p.m. 7:30 p.m.
at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
Admission: Free
Avrom Sutzkever was a great Yiddish poet and a hero of the Jewish people. He was born near Vilna, spent most of his youth in the city, survived the Holocaust there, and then settled in Israel. From 1949 to 1995, Sutzkever edited the prestigious Yiddish literary journal Goldene keyt.
In the wartime ghetto, Sutzkever was drafted by the Nazis to work on a team sorting books from plundered Jewish libraries, including YIVO's; the most valuable of the books were to be shipped to an institute in Germany devoted to "Jewish studies without Jews," the rest destroyed. He and some of his colleagues, who were nicknamed the "Paper Brigade," risked their lives by removing rare books from the selection and burying them. After the war, he and others returned to Vilna to dig up their cache and send
much of it to YIVO in New York.
Avrom Sutzkever died on January 20. On the occasion of his shloyshim (one-month anniversary of his death), YIVO is holding a public program to pay tribute to his memory. Participants include:
Benjamin Harshav: Sutzkever's Poetry (Yiddish-English)
David Fishman: Sutzkever's Life (Yiddish)
Benjamin & Barbara Harshav: poetry reading (Yiddish-English)
Boris Sandler: a few words on behalf of the family of Yiddish writers (Yiddish)
Hy Wolfe, Shane Baker & Barney Zumoff: poetry reading (Yiddish-English)
Adrienne Cooper: two songs by Sutzkever (sung in Yiddish)
Recording of Avrom Sutzkever reading one of his poems (Yiddish)
Recording of Dan Miron lecturing on Sutzkever (English)
The program is sponsored by the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, the Congress for Jewish Culture-CYCO, the Forverts and the Workmen's Circle.

An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture Series
The Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the Center for Jewish History present a new three-part An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture Series, curated by ethnomusicologist Walter Zev Feldman, Ph.D. (New York University, Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem).
Ilyas Malayev: Remembering the Poet Laureate of the Bukharian Jews. Ilyas Malayev (1936-2008) was an immensely popular musician across Uzbekistan, deeply loved by the Bukharian Jewish community. He was a master of the central Asian classical music cycles known as "Shash maqam," and a major innovator of traditional forms through his musical compositions, poetry and theatrical works. CTMD worked with Dartmouth ethnomusicologist Theodore Levin to produce Malayev's important 1997 recording, At the Bazaar of Love (Shanachie Records). This special retrospective will take place at the Center for Jewish History's Forchheimer Auditorium/Kumble Stage, 15 W. 16th Street in Manhattan. A reception will follow the event. Tickets $15, $10 for CJH and CTMD members. Reservations through Smart Tix or call 212-868-4444. (7:00PM)
The series is named in honor of the pioneering Jewish folklorist and writer, Semyon An-sky, who led a remarkable expedition to collect Jewish folklore in Ukraine and Belorussia in 1911–1914.
Major support for CTMD's An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture was provided by the Keller-Shatanoff Foundation. Support was also provided by the Atran Foundation, and public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Folk Arts Program, a State agency, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. We thank Fumie Suzuki and Joan Roth for providing photographs for the series.

The Dec, 6 at Showcase Live, Foxboro Ma has been cancelled due to lack of sufficient advance ticket sales. If we want klezmer in the Boston Area, we have to support it!
A century after the death of the Father of Yiddish Theater, Avrom Goldfaden, a group of Harvard University students is preparing a revival of his most famous Yiddish operetta â Shulamis. This landmark bilingual production of Shulamis will premiere in Harvardâs historic Agassiz Theater December 2 - 6, 2009, nearly seventy years after Shulamis opened as the very last production of interwar Yiddish theatre in Warsaw.
While wandering thirsty through the desert, beautiful young Shulamis is rescued by handsome Avsholem, who swears to marry her upon his return from Jerusalem. When Avsholem fails to come for her, Shulamis pretends to go mad in order to keep her vow to him, yearning both for his return and for revenge. Her choice is at the center of this timeless Yiddish operetta of love and deception, of the price of revenge and the power of forgiveness.
Featuring a new English translation by renowned Yiddish translator Nahma Sandrow, a haunting musical score compiled by Folksbiene artistic director Zalmen Mlotek, a live orchestra, masks, and innovative choreography, Shulamis will charm and inspire both Yiddish theater aficionados and those who are new to the Yiddish theater.
Performance dates:
December 2, 3, 5, and 6 at 8 PM
Matinee December 6 at 2 PM
All performances will take place in Harvard's historic Agassiz Theater in picturesque Radcliffe Yard in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Agassiz Theater is located just a few blocks from the Harvard Square T Station at 5 James Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.
Tickets: $15 general, $10 students/seniors. Discounts are available for groups of ten or more.
Tickets on sale now at the Harvard Box Office: 617-496-2222 or online at www.shulamis.org.

A century after the death of the Father of Yiddish Theater, Avrom Goldfaden, a group of Harvard University students is preparing a revival of his most famous Yiddish operetta â Shulamis. This landmark bilingual production of Shulamis will premiere in Harvardâs historic Agassiz Theater December 2 - 6, 2009, nearly seventy years after Shulamis opened as the very last production of interwar Yiddish theatre in Warsaw.
While wandering thirsty through the desert, beautiful young Shulamis is rescued by handsome Avsholem, who swears to marry her upon his return from Jerusalem. When Avsholem fails to come for her, Shulamis pretends to go mad in order to keep her vow to him, yearning both for his return and for revenge. Her choice is at the center of this timeless Yiddish operetta of love and deception, of the price of revenge and the power of forgiveness.
Featuring a new English translation by renowned Yiddish translator Nahma Sandrow, a haunting musical score compiled by Folksbiene artistic director Zalmen Mlotek, a live orchestra, masks, and innovative choreography, Shulamis will charm and inspire both Yiddish theater aficionados and those who are new to the Yiddish theater.
Performance dates:
December 2, 3, 5, and 6 at 8 PM
Matinee December 6 at 2 PM
All performances will take place in Harvard's historic Agassiz Theater in picturesque Radcliffe Yard in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Agassiz Theater is located just a few blocks from the Harvard Square T Station at 5 James Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.
Tickets: $15 general, $10 students/seniors. Discounts are available for groups of ten or more.
Tickets on sale now at the Harvard Box Office: 617-496-2222 or online at www.shulamis.org.

An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture Series
The Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the Center for Jewish History present a new three-part An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture Series, curated by ethnomusicologist Walter Zev Feldman, Ph.D. (New York University, Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem).
Monday, September 21: The Multi-Ethnic Music Cultures of Moldova. In a multi-media presentation, Walter Zev Feldman discusses the cultural history of this area of ethnic transformation and his recent expedition which discovered musicians of mixed ancestry (Jewish/Roma/Slavic/Moldavian) still performing traditional Jewish music in his father's hometown of Edinets. At the Center for Jewish History's Forchheimer Auditorium/Kumble Stage, 15 W. 16th Street in Manhattan. A reception will follow the event. Tickets $15, $10 for CJH and CTMD members. Reservations through Smart Tix or call 212-868-4444. (7:00 PM)
The series is named in honor of the pioneering Jewish folklorist and writer, Semyon An-sky, who led a remarkable expedition to collect Jewish folklore in Ukraine and Belorussia in 1911–1914.
Major support for CTMD's An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture was provided by the Keller-Shatanoff Foundation. Support was also provided by the Atran Foundation, and public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Folk Arts Program, a State agency, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. We thank Fumie Suzuki and Joan Roth for providing photographs for the series.

EXTENDED BODY:
BROADWAY AND FOLK LEGEND THEODORE BIKEL CELEBRATES A LIFE OF ART & ACTIVISM WITH AN 85th BIRTHDAY CONCERT AT CARNEGIE HALL
June 15th concert to benefit Juvenile Law Center; tickets go on sale April 16th
New York (April 16th) – Broadway and folk legend Theodore Bikel, a lifelong social justice advocate, will celebrate a rich career devoted to art and activism with a star-studded 85th birthday benefit concert at Carnegie Hall on Monday, June 15, 2009.
The concert will benefit Juvenile Law Center (www.jlc.org), the pioneering, non-profit law firm dedicated to protecting the rights and well-being of children in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Bikel will be joined by Alan Alda, Arlo Guthrie, Rosemary Harris, David Amram, Beyond the Pale, Artie Butler, Patricia Conolly, Judy Kaye, David Krakauer, Tom Paxton, Serendipity 4 (Shura Lipovsky, Merima Kljuco, Tamara Brooks, and Theodore Bikel), Noel Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow, Susan Werner, and Michael Wex. Honorary committee co-chairs for the event include Barbara Cook, Frank Langella, Pete Seeger, John C. Whitehead, and Elie Wiesel.
Bikel made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1956 and went on to forge an extraordinary career as a musician, actor and activist. His stage and screen credits include such classic films as The African Queen and The Defiant Ones and the 1959 Broadway premiere of The Sound of Music, in which he originated the role of Captain Von Trapp. He has performed the role of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof more than 2,000 times and is currently starring in a national tour of Sholom Aleichem: Laughter through Tears.
A leading light in the folk-music scene of the 1960s, Bikel was a co-founder of the Newport Folk Festival and has been a powerful advocate for peace, human rights, and social justice for more than five decades – from the civil rights movements in the United States to apartheid in South Africa to promoting peace and religious pluralism among Israel and its neighbors.
“Throughout my life I have been equally passionate about music and social justice, and have allied myself with others whose use guitars, banjos, fiddles and words to conquer fear and injustice,” said Bikel. “I can think of no better way to celebrate that life than a night of music with some of my nearest and dearest friends, and no more deserving cause than protecting the rights of our nation’s most vulnerable children.”
All proceeds from the concert will go to Juvenile Law Center, which works to protect children’s rights and interests in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Juvenile Law Center, which provides legal services at no cost to its clients, is currently heading litigation in the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania judges scandal, a court corruption case that has made international news as one of the most egregious violations of children's rights in U.S. legal history. The organization’s work on the case was recently covered by 20/20 (http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=7194700), the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/28/us/28judges.html?_r=2), and People magazine.
“Theodore Bikel was at the forefront of the social justice movement that led to the creation of organizations like Juvenile Law Center, and we’re awed and honored that he chose to turn his 85th birthday celebration into an incredible gift for us,” said Robert Schwartz, Executive Director of Juvenile Law Center. “Theo is not only helping to promote the rights of people around the world, but also providing a true inspiration the vulnerable children who seek justice and protection.”
Tickets go on sale April 16th and range from $30 to $500. A pre concert VIP reception for performers to mingle with sponsors, major donors, and box seat ticket holders will be held in the Rohatyn Room at Carnegie Hall.

Hankus 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.

In the Jewish ghettos of Poland and Lithuania during World War II, a world of dislocation, terror and death, cabaret music thrived. Jewish audiences gathered in makeshift clubs and theaters to hear newly-created Yiddish songs, rooted in Jewish folk and liturgical music as well as European operetta, American ragtime and Argentine tango.Jewish performers tuned these cosmopolitan songs in a local key: satirical and elegiac, political and personal, angry and heartsick.Together they created something rare, scarcely conceivable: art at the edge of the abyss.
Adrienne Cooper, one of the world's most acclaimed singers of Yiddish vocal music, and Zalmen Mlotek, a leading figure in Yiddish musical theater, here present ghetto songs collected during and after the war.

A Yiddish Winterreise for Darfur, Sunday 19 October at The Church of Our Most Holy Redeemer, Exmouth Market, EC1
On Sunday, 19 October we will be giving what we consider to be our most important performance yet. A Yiddish Winterreise is a cycle of songs in Yiddish performed by Mark Glanville (Bass-Baritone) and Alexander Knapp (Piano), which aims to replicate the emotional journey of Schubert's original, but in a Holocaust context. From the outset it was conceived both as a way of building bridges and a means of lending support to the victims of modern genocides.
The concert will be given at the Church of our Most Holy Redeemer, Exmouth Market, London EC1, Sunday 19 October at 19.30. Minimum charge £10. We urge you to attend.

About the album, "Say You'll Understand" : This eight-piece big band of young jazz and klezmer hotshots dispenses virtuosic musicianship and lush, swinging arrangements of mid-20th century klezmer and Yiddish classics, featuring vocals by Susan Watts, as well as their own stirring original compositions. While powerfully evoking the golden age of American-Yiddish swing, the group simultaneously blazes new trails in contemporary klezmer-jazz crossover. There is something for everyone to enjoy!

"Degenerate Music": Jewish Music of Weimar Germany
The Mendocino Music Festival
Thursday, July 17, 8:00 pm
Susan Waterfall & The Mendocino Music Festival Chamber Players
Erin Neff, vocalist
After World War I, Weimar Berlin was a cauldron of artistic ferment as avant-garde artists and intellectuals, most of them Jewish, struggled to create a modern German culture. Exuberant freedom and hectic experimentation masked a sense of impending doom. After 1933, Hitler denounced them all as "degenerate" and their forced exile carried Weimar modernity to the rest of the world. A re-creation of this fascinating and pivotal era with cabaret and chamber music of Weill, Schoenberg, and Eisler, photographs and film.
Presented by The Mendocino Music Festival in association with the Jewish Music Festival

"Trio Klezmer" optræder LIVE
Tid : Søndag d. 13. juli kl. 20:00
Sted : KafKaféen, Skindergade 3, 1159 K
Oplev musikken i et nyt lys : Channe Nussbaum og Øyvind Ougaard optræder sammen med klarinettisten Bjarke Kolerus, som på denne aften er afløser for Mette Smidl.
Bjarke Kolerus har mange klezmerjern i ilden. Bl.a. er han manden bag det succesrige band "Klezmofobia". Og han er ikke bange for bolden, når den kommer ! På denne aften stiller han således frygt-løst op som det tredie hjul i Trio Klezmer, som afløser for Mette Smidl og ved siden af Nussbaum og Ougaard. Der er hermed lagt op til en eksplosiv aften, hvor gnisterne nemt vil kunne komme til at fyge om ørerne på de tilstedeværende tilhørere.

This Sunday, June 22, 1:30 PM Itzik Gottesman and Emily Socolov will speak, in Yiddish, on their recent trip to the Ukraine, and in particular the Bukovina. They will show many slides so if your Yiddish is not up to speed you still might find it interesting.
After the talk, Itzik's mother, Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, will accompany her son and sing 6 or 7 songs from Bukovina, including his grandmother's older folksongs, and Beyle's interwar Chernovitz-based repertory and original songs. And, if he can learn it in time, a song that was sung at Gimpel's Yiddish Theater in Lviv/Lemberg in the early 1900s, since Lviv was one of his stops in Bukovina.
The talk is entitled "On the Trail of Our Yesteryears" and takes place at the Sholem Aleichem Cultural Center 3301 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx NY, corner 208th st. one block from Montefiore Hospital.

Opening Night of the 23rd Annual Jewish Music Festival – West Coast Premiere
Klezmer giant Frank London has teamed up with acclaimed lyricist Glen Berger and conceiver and director Alex Aron to create twenty-one unique songs based on the legendary 1907 Yiddish play by I.L. Peretz. The groundbreaking score mixes Jewish music, jazz, classical, rock, and world beats with a dose of Kurt Weill and Tom Waits. A stellar group of international musicians come together to spin this magical tale of villagers who wrestle with ghosts in order to right a past wrong, in a fantastic journey to rediscover the meaning of faith.

In performance and on record, Heather celebrates the music brought to the New York's Lower East Side by immigrants as well as the innovative work written in the United States at that time for theater and concert halls including art songs, folk, and opera.

761-1757
Portland’s own Casco Bay Tummlers are renewing their tradition of doing a Chanukah season concert in Portland. The Tummlers will be appearing at One Longfellow Square, (formerly the Center for Cultural Exchange), on Saturday, December 15th at 8pm. In recent years, the Tummlers, whose primary focus is klezmer music, have been exploring some exciting improvisational music styles from countries such as Macedonia, Greece and Serbia. This concert will include some of that new material along with great klezmer standards, Yiddish swing, and outstanding Yiddish and Ladino vocals.

Session III. Monday December 10th: Special Session (place/time to be announced)
Strategies for Field Research, Documentation and Dissemination
Training Dance Leaders & Encouraging Participation
For hundreds of years, Jews were part of a diverse tapestry of ethnic communities in Eastern and Central Europe. Dance, particularly during wedding festivities, was an important means of cultural expression and community cohesion for Jews living in cities and shtetlekh (villages) alike. Much of the dance repertoire of East European Jews was of a multi- cultural nature. Nevertheless, Jewish dance also featured a unique vocabulary of gestures and genres. A variety of factors caused most traditional Yiddish dance and its associated klezmer repertoire to fall almost completely out of practice by the 1960s.
Participants at the typical American-Jewish celebration of today may move in a circle to the rhythm of the music but are at a loss as to the dance forms, steps and stylistic gestures of the tradition. While remnants of a limited number of dance forms and gestures are retained in Hasidic communities, today there are but a few elderly immigrant and second-generation Jews left who still perform, or can even recall traditional dance from either Europe or America.
Despite significant success in the revival of traditional Jewish klezmer music over the past thirty years, the associated Yiddish Dance tradition has received less attention and is at alarming risk of being almost completely forgotten. It is only thanks to the work of a handful of dedicated individuals (mostly operating without institutional support) that any fieldwork and documentation of Yiddish Dance has been done over the past thirty years.

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.

Klezfest '07
"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.

KLEYNKUNST! Warsaw's Brave and Brilliant Yiddish Cabaret

Tickets: $22

Tickets: $15
(plus food and drink menu: no min.)
In the 1920s and 1930s Warsaw's Yiddish cabarets drew from hugely varied influences: Weimar kabarett, Hassidic chant, vaudeville, Russian folk songs, jazz, tango and traditional cantorial music. The atmosphere was charged with contradiction: anti-religious sentiment and devotion; sexual bawdiness and naivete; political infighting and camaraderie.
KLEYNKUNST! reflects the spirit, bravado, and optimism of Jewish Warsaw between the Wars. This show brings to life the kleynkunst teater's songs, sketches, and spirit, in Yiddish and English translations. We pay homage to a world of brilliance and bite which no longer exists.
