Richard Lenatsky at the Tonic, NYC, Jun 15

Treat your father ( or yourself) to a trip down memory lane this Father's Day, June 15, at the Klezmer Brunch at Tonic. Philadelphia area tenor, Richard Lenatsky, will perform oft-neglected folk and art songs made popular by such past luminaries of the Jewish music scene as Seymour Rechtzeit, Ben Bonus, Sidor Belarsky, and Jan Peerce. Let's keep the songs and the memory of the artists who performed them alive.

Richard will be accompanied on piano by well-known musician and Yiddish teacher (Uof Penn), Alexander (Sender) Botwinik. Show times are 1:30 and 3pm, $10 per show or $15 for both.

Who is Richard Lenatsky? Residing in West Chester, PA, I've been performing Yiddish art songs in the Phila. area and Amherst, MA, for about 10 years.

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.

For further information, visit the site website, www.klezkanada.com

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.

Di Naye Kapelye headline Helsinki Klez Fest, Oct 26

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 Europe's 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.

Sun 26 October 2003 at 7 p.m.
Di Naye Kapelye and Yankl Falk (Hungary)

Di Naye Kapelye, "The New Band" plays energetic klezmer music without forgetting traditions. Yankl Falk (vocals, clarinet) tours together with Di Naye Kapelye.

The concerts will be performed at the Savoy Theatre (Kasarmikatu 46-48). In addition to concerts the program of Helsinki Klezmer Festival will include evening clubs that are held at Kunsthalle Helsinki (Nervanderinkatu 3) right after the music performances.

Freilach mit Kneidlach will be the house band in the evening clubs.

Warschauer/Straus, NYC, Oct 30

The monthly Kavehoyz sponsored by the Congress for Jewish Culture, the League for Yiddish, and Yugntruf - Youth for Yiddish, is proud to present an evening of Yiddish song and music with

Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer, aka:
the Strauss/Warschauer Duo
Thursday, Oct. 30, 2003 7:00 PM
at the Congress for Jewish Culture
25 E. 21 street in Manhattan
admission $5, includes kosher pastry and coffee.

The Strauss/Warschauer Duo brings together two internationally renowned musicians who are deeply committed to klezmer music and Yiddish song. Their 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.

For more information, please contact the Congress for Jewish Culture at (212) 505-8040.

Klezmerica will be celebrating the move by performing at the new Dakota this Thursday evening, November 6, from 8:30 PM until 12:30. There will be a $10 cover.

The Dakota is one of America's foremost jazz venues and one of the Twin Cities' finest restaurants. Virtually every major jazz musician has performed there. Roy Hargrove called it "the most comfortable jazz club in the world for musicians and audiences."

As it happens, the national Reform Jewish movement will be holding its Biennial Convention just a few blocks away, at the Minneapolis Convention Center Wednesday, November 5 through Sunday morning, November 9. Thousands from across the U.S. and beyond will be attending. Klezmerica has been selected to open the convention with a brief "Welcome to Minnesota" performance Wednesday night, November 5, in the Convention Center.

The Workmen's Circle Yiddish Lecture Series presents
A READING OF YIDDISH POETRY IN ENGLISH AND YIDDISH
Read by Richard Fein, poet, translator, and Professor Emeritus at SUNY,
New

Featuring the work of Anna Margolin, Yankev Glatshteyn, and Avrom
Suztkever

Date: Sunday, November 23
Time: 2:00 pm
Location: The Workmen's Circle, 1762 Beacon Street, Brookline
Admission: Free

Fiery, fearless, and stunningly modern, Yiddish poetry exploded onto
the
literary scene in the late nineteenth century and flourished throughout
the first half of the last century. In America, Europe, and later
Israel, Yiddish poets captured in luminous, and oftentimes bold and
experimental verse, the complex personal and communal struggles of life
in a rapidly changing world. Masters of language, they transformed
Yiddish into a powerful medium of poetic expression.
This program is funded, in part, by the Albert E. Marks Charitable
Trust
and the J.T. Zuckerman Fund of the Workmen's Circle.

In the Nazi-mandated ghettos during World War II, audiences gathered in makeshift clubs and theaters to hear newly-created songs, rooted in Jewish folk song, European cabaret, American jazz and Argentine tango. Jewish performers tuned these cosmopolitan songs in a local key: satirical and elegiac, political and personal, angry and heartsick, creating something scarcely conceivable: art at the edge of the abyss.

"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.

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:

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.

Randy Herman, Alicia Svigals, in benefit for Israeli Children, NYC, Nov 2

BENEFIT CONCERT FOR ISRAELI CHILDREN, FEATURING AMAZING
PIANOMAN RANDY HERMAN AND FRIENDS!

Thursday, November 2nd, 7:30 PM -
"Take a Step for Children in Israel Concert" to benefit Alyn Hospital, Israel's premier rehabilitation
center for physically challenged children. Featuring Randy Herman, "an amazing caffeine-fueled... eclectic pianist-singer songwriter" says the Chicago Reader. After several years as an underground, college-radio artist and studio musician, Randy has recently reconnected with his Jewish roots and dived head-first into Jewish-music territory - and begun a whole new life as a cantorial student at the Jewish Theological Seminary. This truly special concert will feature a 10-piece band of top-notch NYC players, plus special guests fiddle-master and Klezmatics-founder Alicia Svigals, and country-folk duo The Guthries. With Mike Cohen, Stan Schwartz, and outstanding fellow cantorial students Debbie Bletstein and Jen Cohen. A not-too-be-missed event!

Feinberg Auditorium, The Jewish Theological Seminary, 122nd and Broadway.
Tickets 212-678-8839
Hosted by JTS Va'ad Gemilut Hasadim and JTS Israel Va'ad.

Strauss-Warschauer Duo
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+Strauss-Warschauer, Los Angeles, CA, Dec 19

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.

After the lecture there be a performance by the Strauss-Warschauer Duo,
internationally recognized klezmer musicians and teachers.

The lecture will be held at the Los Angeles Yiddish Culture Club which has
existed in Los Angeles for more than 80 years and is a Yiddish cultural icon
without peer on the west coast.

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.)

Both classes are intended to address the relative lack of professional-level coaching in our field, so they are restricted to professionals or very advanced students. To make sure we keep the focus at that level we're asking people to audition with recordings. Class size is limited to 17. For more information, please see www.yiddish-summer-weimar.de, click on the graphic that says Winter Edition, and please help us spread the word!

KLEYNKUNST! Warsaw's Brave and Brilliant Yiddish Cabaret

Makor (as part of Makor's Manifest Festival)
35 West 67th Street
(212) 601-1000
www.92y.org

Tickets: $15
(plus food and drink menu: no min.)

In the 1920s 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.

Researched and written by Rebecca Joy Fletcher
Musical Director, pianist and arrangements: Bob Goldstone
Director: Michael Montel

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.

Hear them take center stage at Club Cafe for a casual evening of food, drink, and traditional klezmer music. (Young guests must be 21 and over or accompanied by legal guardian.)

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.

Mayer Kirshenblatt bookYiddish singer Sharon Bernstein (voice & piano) and klezmer pioneer Stu Brotman (bass, tsimbl & percussion) join forces in a unique performance set to paintings by self-taught Toronto artist Mayer Kirshenblatt. Kirshenblatt's vibrant portraits of his home town Apt, Poland before the Holocaust inspire a rich blent of traditional song and contemporary sound. Projected images of the paintings connected with the songs complete this experience that recalls Polish shtetl life. Presented in conjunction with the book They Called me Mayer July: Painted Memories of Jewish Life in Poland Before the Holocaust by Mayer Kirshenblatt and Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett (University of California Press, forthcoming September 2007) and exhibition with the same title at the Judah L. Magnes Museum, Septermber 10, 2007 - January 13, 2008.

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 Symposium, NYC, Dec 10, 2007

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.

The soprano voice of this emerging Bay Area artist soars on the wings of classic Yiddish art song and repertoire from operetta, cabaret and theater in Yiddish and English.

Heather Klein has charmed audiences throughout the United States, Canada and Europe with her beguiling stage presence and versatile soprano voice. Ms. Klein comes to the Jewish Music Festival hot off the release of her first album, Mayn Yiddishe Velt, a compilation of theater music from the late 1800's and early 1900's. 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.

Heather will also appear at Temple Beth Sholom in San Leandro on March 14th at 8:00 pm and the San Francisco Public Library on March 12th at 6:00 pm.

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.

Gottesman, Socolov, Schaechter-Gottesman, Bronx, NY, Jun 22, 2008

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.

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.

"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

Sunday, August 10

1525 S Robertson Blvd
Free admission, reservations not required.

Yiddishkayt is proud to participate in the annual commemoration of of Soviet Yiddish Writers. Fifty-six years ago, on August 12, 1952, the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin executed fourteen prominent Yiddish writers and Jewish communal officials in an attempt to wipe out Jewish culture.

This year, we recognize Soviet Jewish composer S. Polonski, who contributed several well-known songs to the Yiddish repertoire. The Mit Gezang Yiddish Chorus of the Workmen's Circle will delve deeper into Polonski's musical legacy, performing the entirety of his songbook written for Yiddish-speaking schoolchildren in the Soviet Union, published in 1931.

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!

Yiddish Winterreise for Darfus, London, UK, 19 Oct 2008

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.

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.

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.

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

www.jlc.org/bikel

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.

About Juvenile Law Center

Founded in 1975, Juvenile Law Center is the oldest multi-issue public interest law firm for children in the United States. With an approach grounded in principles of adolescent development, Juvenile Law Center uses the law on behalf of youth in the child welfare and criminal and juvenile justice systems to promote fairness, prevent harm, ensure access to appropriate services and create opportunities. Juvenile Law Center uses an array of legal and other advocacy strategies to ensure that the child welfare, juvenile justice, and other public systems provide vulnerable children with the protection and services they need to become healthy and productive adults. In 2008, Juvenile Law Center was one of eight organizations around the world to receive the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Award for Creative and Effective Institutions.

"The Multi-Ethnic Music Cultures of Moldova", NYC, 21 Sep 2009

image for An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture SeriesAn-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.

Monday, October 26: Beyle Schaechter Gottesman: Celebrating a Lifetime in Yiddish Song. A conversation and performance featuring America's leading Yiddish poet/songwriter, who will be joined by her son Itzik Gottesman of the Yiddish Forward newspaper. Moderated by Walter Zev Feldman. In 2006 Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman was awarded the NEA's National Heritage Fellowship Award, our nation's highest honor in the traditional arts.

Shulamis, Agassiz Theater, Cambridge, MA, December 5, 2009

Shulamis is Harvard's first-ever bilingual Yiddish operetta, on stage this December at the Agassiz Theater.

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 – Shulamis. This landmark bilingual production of Shulamis will premiere in Harvard’s 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.

Shulamis, Agassiz Theater, Cambridge, MA, December 2, 2009

Shulamis is Harvard's first-ever bilingual Yiddish operetta, on stage this December at the Agassiz Theater. 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 – Shulamis. This landmark bilingual production of Shulamis will premiere in Harvard’s 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.

"Ilyas Malayev: Remembering the Poet Laureate of the Bukharian Jews", NYC, 14 Dec 2009

image for An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture SeriesAn-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.

In Memory of Avrom Sutzekever: A Public Program, YIVO, New York, NY, 22 February 2010

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.

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. Dr. Cypkin has also worked in the English-speaking theatre as both singer and actor in shows at the Soho Repertory Theatre, the New York Theatre Workshop, the Jan Hus Playhouse, and the Three Muses Theatre. In addition, she has directed productions of The World of Sholom Aleichem, The Theatre of Peretz, and Green Fields. In 2007, she curated an exceptionally well-received exhibition at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on Molly Picon. For almost ten years she was Yiddish Theatre Consultant at the Museum of the City of New York and curated the highly successful exhibition, A Celebration: 100 years of Yiddish Theatre in New York. Dr. Cypkin is presently Professor of Media, Communication, and Visual Arts at Pace University in Pleasantville, New York, where she has taught for twenty years. She is a recipient of the Kenan Award for Teaching Excellence.

Lena Panfilova is a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory. She has performed as a collaborative pianist with many musicians and has given many solo and chamber concerts in Russia, across Europe, and in America.
For many years, she has been a beloved piano teacher. Ms. Panfilova is exceptionally proud of her numerous talented students.

The Schaechter Legacy: Growing Up in Yiddish in the 21st Century, London, 13 June 2010

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.

All Star New York Yiddish Sing-along, New York, NY, 12 October, 2010

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.

“Little Smart Alecks: Professional Mirth Makers Zuni Maud and Yosl Cutler and their Puppets”, Montreal, Canada, 24 Oct 2010

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.

JPL LogoThe 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.

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.

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.

Cantors and Choirs of Congregation Rodeph Sholom Chanukah Celebration, NYC, 3 Dec 2010

The Cantors and Choirs of Congregation Rodeph Sholom will celebrate Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, during Shabbat services, 6 P.M., Friday, December 3, 2010. The unique intergenerational service will feature Cantor Rebecca Garfein and Cantor Shayna De Lowe and the volunteer adult and children’s choirs from the synagogue. This year, the first night of Chanukah is Wednesday, December 1, 2010.

“Chanukah celebrates miracles and the power to overcome hardship,” according to Congregation Rodeph Sholom’s Senior Cantor, Rebecca Garfein. “For many people in our country, this has been an especially tough year. Chanukah can help remind us all of the everyday miracles in our lives.”

Some highlights of the service will be Peter Yarrow’s, “Light One Candle,” and “Bring on the Light,” a piece by composer, singer and actor, Danny Maseng, that was commissioned by Congregation Rodeph Sholom for Chanukah in 2001. The service will also feature the Children’s Choir for grades 2-8 and the Jr. Jr. Choir, which is for children from the pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grades.

Cantor Garfein will be joined by Rodeph Sholom’s Associate Cantor, Shayna De Lowe and Cantorial-Intern, Melanie Cooperman. Accompanying the cantors and choirs will be Rodeph Sholom’s organist, J. David Williams. Joining Mr. Williams will be: John Hadfield, percussion, Susan Rotholz, flute, Eliot Bailen, guitar and cello and Daniel Freeman, acoustic and electric bass.

The service is free of charge and open to the entire community.

Congregation Rodeph Sholom is located at 7 West 83rd Street off of Central Park West in Manhattan. For more information, please call (646) 454-3030 or go to www.rodephsholom.org.

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

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.

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.

Andrea Pancur05. & 06.05.12:A lidele in yidish

Jiddische Lieder leben von ihrer großen Emotionalität, aber auch von Humor, Witz und Lebensfreude. Das Seminar widmet sich den verschiedenen Genres des jiddischen Liedes und den Besonderheiten des jiddischen Gesangs. Wir erkunden Volkslieder, Theaterlieder und Lieder von Liedermachern wie Mordekhay Gebirtig u.a. Wir werden uns auch den Nigunim widmen, die aus der chassidischen Tradition stammen und über die Rabbi Menachem Mendel von Lubawitsch (1789-1866) lehrte: „Singen vereinigt. Wenn Worte gesprochen werden, hören wir jedes der Worte gemäß unserem Verständnis. Aber im Singen sind wir alle in einem Rhythmus und in einer Melodie vereinigt”. Gesangserfahrung ist von Vorteil, für die Teilnahme aber keine Voraussetzung.

Andrea Pancur05. & 06.05.12:A lidele in yidish

Jiddische Lieder leben von ihrer großen Emotionalität, aber auch von Humor, Witz und Lebensfreude. Das Seminar widmet sich den verschiedenen Genres des jiddischen Liedes und den Besonderheiten des jiddischen Gesangs. Wir erkunden Volkslieder, Theaterlieder und Lieder von Liedermachern wie Mordekhay Gebirtig u.a. Wir werden uns auch den Nigunim widmen, die aus der chassidischen Tradition stammen und über die Rabbi Menachem Mendel von Lubawitsch (1789-1866) lehrte: „Singen vereinigt. Wenn Worte gesprochen werden, hören wir jedes der Worte gemäß unserem Verständnis. Aber im Singen sind wir alle in einem Rhythmus und in einer Melodie vereinigt”. Gesangserfahrung ist von Vorteil, für die Teilnahme aber keine Voraussetzung.

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 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.

We all confront the big questions: What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? What shall we have for Shabbes lunch? And Yiddish songs attempt to answer these kinds of questions, too! Each year, a wonderful, international community comes together in Krakow to sing, dance, learn and have fun. All are welcome, with no previous experience necessary. Join us!

This year’s theme, Humor, will allow us to explore one of the most dynamic and longlasting characteristics of Yiddish culture. Humor underlies a vast segment of our cultural experience as an art, as a weapon and as a survival mechanism. It is also an elemental part of our world view and has helped us balance our chiaroscuro historic experience. What better place to explore the underpinnings of Yiddish humor than in the Catskills, the breeding ground for American comedy for most of the 20th century?

"Hava Nagila" w/Veretski Pass, San Jose, CA, 18 Nov 2012

Veretski PassHava Nagila (the movie) plus Veretski Pass Concert

Sunday, November 18, 5:30pm, Hava Nagila (the movie), followed by Veretski Pass. This 75-minute film is the definitive, glorious (and musical) story of how the Hebrew song "Hava Nagila" ("Let Us Rejoice"), set to a traditional melody from the Ukraine, became the signature theme of Jewish life. Despite having become truly universal in appeal, the song never lost its Jewish soul or origin. Features interviews with Harry Belafonte, Leonard Nimoy, Connie Francis, and Glen Campbell. Plan to walk out humming - or maybe singing out loud - this universally appealing melody.

Following the movie will be a performance by internationally renowned (and Berkeley-based) klezmer band Veretski Pass.

At Camera 12, San Jose. This is the concluding event of the Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival. Tickets: $15 advance / $20 at the door. More info: HERE, 800.838.3006.

20 Talbot Ave, Somerville, MA

A musical revue of the life and work of Zelig (Sigmund) Mogulesco (1856-1914), often called the “Charlie Chaplin of the Yiddish theatre”. As opposed to the heaviness and melodrama of the early period, Mogulesco was known for his comedy, agility, and also songwriting—he penned no less than "Khosn kale, mazl tov." Written by Mark Slobin. Performed by the Jumbo Knish Factory; Michael McLaughlin, director. Co-sponsored by Tufts Music and Hillel. Free; no tickets required

Dr. Michael Ochs and Dr. Mark Slobin, Center for Jewish History, NYC, 22 February 2013


Tailoring an Operetta to Its Audience: Rumshinsky's Di goldene kale (1923) at the Center for Jewish History, February 22nd at 10:30 A.M.

Joseph Rumshinsky's 1923 musical comedy, Di goldene kale (The Golden Bride) was a work carefully designed to both move and entertain its specialized American audience: Yiddish-speaking immigrants from Eastern Europe and their families. With pathos (the basic ingredient), love, "Jewish-style" music, a ritual kiddush, acts set in a shtetl and in America, a shadchen, a lullaby that slips into Russian, assimilated Jews speaking broken Yiddish, a paean to America, as well as other compelling features, it offered its attendees
a meaningful evening based on their past and present experiences.

Dr. Michael Ochs and noted scholar on Jewish music, Professor Mark Slobin, will present the talk, "Tailoring an Operetta to Its Audience: Rumshinsky's Di goldene kale (1923)" at the Center for Jewish History (15 West 16th Street) on Friday, February 22, 2013 at 10:30 A.M., in what promises to be an engaging
discussion of the issues surrounding the re-construction and arrangement of a Yiddish theater work. The Jewish Music Forum, a project of the American Society for Jewish Music, sponsors the talk.

Dr. Michael Ochs is retired Richard F. French Librarian and Senior Lecturer on Music at Harvard University, as well as the past music editor at W. W. Norton publishers. He is currently preparing a critical edition of the operetta's score based on manuscript material from the original production. Dr. Mark Slobin is Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music at Wesleyan University and author of Fiddler on the Move: Exploring the Klezmer World, Chosen Voices: The Story of the American Cantorate, and Tenement Songs: The Popular Music of the Jewish Immigrants.

Admission is free.

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.

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.

Betty KleinIsraeli traditional Ladino/Yiddish singer Betty Klein makes a rare US appearance at a house party (the house in which Mr. KlezmerShack and Ms. Jewish Music Web Center reside, as it happens) in Newton. Despite a facility with Jewish folk songs in many languages, the Jerusalem Post concedes that "she may be a native New York Ashkenazi, but of the 20 languages in which she sings, her deepest connection is to Ladino."

Much fun extremely likely.

Ruth Rubin tribute, San Francisco, CA, 9 May, 2013

Jeanette LewickiSPECIAL PRESENTATION OF YIDDISH SONGS FROM NEWLY CULLED ARCHIVAL RECORDINGS

Ruth Rubin’s Reel-to-Reel Mashinke
A Presentation by Jeanette Lewicki
Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 7:00 PM
Jewish Community Library,
1835 Ellis St.,
San Francisco, CA
Free

Toting her state-of-the-art portable tape “mashinke,” Ruth Rubin recorded native Yiddish singers in libraries, old folks’ homes, summer camps, kitchens, and Carnegie Hall. When she died in 2000, Rubin left hundreds of reel-to-reel tapes that include thousands of folk songs about gangsters, workers, lovers, children, rabbis and street vendors.

Bay Area Yiddish singer and accordionist Jeanette Lewicki spent last July at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York on a trip sponsored by the An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture. Her labor of love: transferring the Ruth Rubin archive from tape to computer.

"These are the old songs, in the old style: usually unaccompanied, subtle, funny and kitsch-free,” Lewicki says. During her Jewish Community Library presentation, she will sing and translate her favorite selections from the Rubin tapes, with an emphasis on underworld songs.

Lewicki performs with numerous klezmer groups and has led Yiddish song workshops in many venues. She performed on Ardady Gendler's CD Mayn Shtetele Soroke (and co-produced it with Donald Brody and Ellie Shapiro of the Jewish Music Festival), Fli Mayn Flishlang (for which she arranged children’s songs by Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman), Harbst (with the Klez-X), and the gonifs break out, a new release on Porto Franco Records.

The Jewish Community Library provides free garage parking and is wheelchair-accessible. For more information, call (415) 567-3327, ext 703.

Sponsored by the Jewish Community Library and co-presented by the 28th Jewish Music Festival, KlezCalifornia, and the Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring of Northern California.

Whether you have some experience as a klezmer player, Yiddish singer or dancer, or are completely new to the style, this hands-on workshop offers a feast of Eastern European Yiddish instrumental, vocal music and dance.

This workshop will be taught with a lively, integrated approach—a marriage of instruments, singing and movement. Working by ear and with written music, we will explore ways to express the full potential of Yiddish music and dance, as individuals and as a group. Daily topics will include Eastern European Jewish modality, klezmer phrasing, articulation and ornamentation, Yiddish song repertoire and style, and Yiddish dance steps, gestures and movement.

Open to all instrumentalists, singers and dancers. All ages and backgrounds
welcome. No knowledge of Yiddish or previous experience necessary.

New York, NY

On August 12th, 1952, the cream of the crop of the Soviet Yiddish world were summarily executed as retribution for their support of the war effort against Nazi Germany. 61 years later, we show that we have not forgotten them and that we still remember them, for their contributions to both literature and to humankind.

The Congress for Jewish Culture, together with COJECO, the Jewish Labor Committee, the National Yiddish Theater-Folksbiene, The Workmen's Circle/ Arbeter-Ring, and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research cordially invite you to attend a
Memorial program for the Yiddish artists and writers who suffered under Stalinist repression

This year's program will have a significant English component.

Professor Tevye Bird will chair.
Professor Marc Caplan will speak on Dovid Bergelson's Berlin period.

Lost and Found Project: Folksbiene.ru
Anna Zicer Medvinsky (narration), Yelena Shmulenson (narration), and
Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch (bass clarinet) will present works by Leyb Kvitko.

Paula Teitelbaum will sing and recite poems of the murdered writers.

Internationally renowned Yiddish music master Hankus Netsky joins several musical friends live in-studio on "The Yiddish
Voice" (WUNR 1600-AM, Boston) on Wednesday, November 27, 2013, at 7:30 PM, to celebrate "Erev Thanksgivukkah", the eve of both Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah, an extremely rare occurrence in Jewish and American calendars.

Henry Carrey is the son of Leah Carrey, the late longtime Boston Jewish radio celebrity, and a veteran Yiddish actor and singer.

Linda Gritz is a founding member of the Boston Workman's Circle Yiddish Chorus, and leads monthly Yiddish singalongs in Brookline.

"Wandering Stars" CD Launch, London, UK, 5 Dec 2013

Julian Futter and Mike Aylward are proud to announce the launch of a new CD - "Wandering Stars" – the story of Gimpel’s Lemberg Yiddish theatre.

We are launching this CD on Thursday 5 Dec at 8.00p.m. at the New London Synagogue, 33 Abbey Rd, London, NW8 0AT and anyone who is in London is welcome to come.

In 1900 Lemberg was one of the most important cities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire with a population of 160,000, of whom a third were Jewish. The Lemberg theatre was the first permanent and most important Yiddish theatre in Europe.
Sholem Aleichem visited in 1905 and based his novel “Wandering Stars” on his experiences there.

In 1910 Franz Kafka was profoundly affected when he saw members of the troupe perform in Prague , Joseph Roth and Mark Chagall were also hugely influenced by what they saw.

The theatre gave birth to a unique form of musical drama that to a significant extent shaped popular American culture.

Thanks to the efforts of a small band of record collectors and discographers operating worldwide, many of these records have been documented and copies located and it is now possible for the first time in over 100 years to give a voice to this silenced civilization whose destruction has been rigorously documented, but whose achievements have so far been largely unexplored. Listen to songs about weddings, wild women, drinking, the original Yidl mit sein Fidl, a Hatikvah recorded in 1909, an out of control Simchas Torah and, of course, Sex.

The recordings are accompanied by a richly illustrated, full colour, 40 page booklet which places the theatre in its historical context, provides full biographies of the artists and detailed information on all the recordings.

136 Massachusetts Ave
Boston, MA

How many people can claim they were in both The African Queen and Fiddler on the Roof? Folk singer; theater, film and television actor; radio host; president of Actors’ Equity; political activist; Jewish spokesman and author; these are just some of Theodore Bikel’s many accomplishments. He’s an icon, a beacon of Yiddishkeit and humanitarianism. This is his first appearance in Boston in years, just months before his 90th birthday. Joining Mr. Bikel in concert, under the musical direction of Boston’s own Hankus Netsky, will be acclaimed accordionist Merima Ključo, Rosalie Gerut, Frank London, Daniel Kahn, Josh ‘Socalled” Dolgin, and the Bessere Velt Chorus of the Workmens Circle of Boston.

Zamir Chorale and Cantor Aryeh Finkelstein @ Boston Jewish Music Fest, Newton, MA, 2 Mar 2014

"Like Wildflowers, Suddenly" with Zamir Chorale of Boston and Cantor Aryeh Finkelstein

Sun, Mar 2, 4:00pm (note that BJMF brochure mistakenly claims, 3pm start)
Congregation Mishkan Tefilah
300 Hammond Pond Parkway
Chestnut Hill, MA

“Like Wildflowers, Suddenly” is an oratorio in five movements with music by Cantor Charles Osborne and lyrics by Cantor Aryeh Finklestein, inspired by Israeli poet Yehudah Amichai’s “Wild Peace.” Drawing on the Bible, the Talmud, the Siddur, and contemporary poetry, Like Wildflowers reveals three stages of Jewish history—biblical, the Diaspora, and the modern State of Israel. Cantor Osborne will serve as narrator and baritone soloist, and will be joined by mezzo-soprano Lynn Torgove, and a chamber orchestra. Part two of the concert features songs from the Yiddish theater and three cantorial gems featuring Cantor Finkelstein.

Tickets $18 and 36 in advance, $20 and 40 at the door.

“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.

Concert klezmer et plus... Avec Joël Musy, Michel Borzykowski (saxophones) et Vincent Thévenaz (orgue).

sans parler de la guitare, de l'harmonica, des tablas, du didgeridoo et, naturellement, des saxophones !
Alors pourquoi pas l'orgue ? C'est ce défi que nous allons relever une nouvelle fois !

Symposium: Jewish Music Archives and the Future of Yiddish Song, NYC, 6 Apr, 2014

Sunday, April 6, 11:00am
YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
15 West 16th Street,
New York, New York 10011

Tix: www.smarttix.com

Around 1900, East European Jews became acutely aware of the impact of modernization and urbanization on their culture: on their songs, their tales, and customs. They set in motion a wide range of projects and institutions to gather, archive, and study fading folklore. YIVO was a pioneer in this push, along with a galaxy of Polish and Russian (later Soviet) activists. Today, with the loss of the original population and the huge demographic and cultural shifts of world Jewry, the surviving archives both preserve and channel a rising tide of interest, even a hunger, for what's called "Yiddish" music and folklore.

This symposium brings together archivists, scholars and performers to discuss the history and creation of Yiddish folk music archives, and the future of the study and performance of Yiddish song today. What is the role of Jewish music archives in fostering new scholarship and Yiddish music?

The event is dedicated to the memory of Chana Mlotek, YIVO's Music Archivist from 1978 until her recent passing at age 91 in 2013.

Chair: Mark Slobin, Wesleyan University

"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!

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.

Sunday, Nov 9, 5:00pm - 6:30pm
Barbès
376 9th St,
Brooklyn, New York 11215

Twinkling Lullabies & Songs of Love and Love Gone Wrong....

As part of Ljova's Sunday@5 residency at Barbes, Inna Barmash is bringing back her Yiddish Lullabies & Love Songs project, featuring Lev 'Ljova' Zhurbin on viola, Shoko Nagai on accordion and piano, Dmitry Ishenko on bass, and a special guest, Sam Sadigursky, on clarinet, with other special friends joining in!

The program explores art songs and folk songs, including rarely heard treasures of old Soviet era anthologies of songs collected in the shtetls of Ukraine in the 1920s and art songs by Soviet composers set to Yiddish poetry.

About Inna Barmash
Inna first started singing in Yiddish back in her home city of Vilnius, Lithuania as a child in the late 80s. After immigrating to the US with her family in 1991, Inna has continued singing in Yiddish, Russian and other languages with numerous klezmer and folk groups in the NY area. She is the vocalist of the chamber folk band Ljova & the Kontraband and co-leads the gypsy dance party band Romashka.

music from Jill Sobule's "Yentl," NYC, 15 Jan 2015

Jill Sobule’s Music from Yentl
Featuring the Isle of Klezbos

Thursday, January 15 at 7:30
David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, Frieda and Roy Furman Stage

Based on Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy” and updated with new music and lyrics composed by Jill Sobule, Yentl tells the story of a young girl in 19th century Eastern Europe forbidden to pursue her dream of studying Talmud. Unwilling to accept her fate, she disguises herself as a man. But when she falls in love, Yentl must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her identity. Invigorated with a bracing klezmer/pop/rock score by Jill Sobule (the original “I Kissed a Girl,” “Supermodel”), Yentl asks up-to-the-minute questions about gender and sexuality.

“Yentl offers sweetness and laughter with a modern twist.”—Sarasota Herald Tribune

Adapted for the stage by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer

Additional music by Robin Eaton

A Lincoln Center commission

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 Prince of Kosher Gospel returns to the JCC for another high-energy captivating performance. Joshua brings his extraordinary message of hope, unity and spirituality through Kosher gospel, a marriage of Jewish religious lyrics and meanings with the soulful sounds of American gospel music.
For Joshua Nelson, kosher gospel is a way to claim both parts of his identity as a Black Jew. Kosher gospel has been able to retain the same musical cultures of Black African Muslims and Jews with that soul-inflected vocalizations which filled the Black Hebrew synagogue Joshua attended as a child with his family, observant Jews who traced their lineage back to Senegal.
Come join us as we celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut as a community.

Presentation and launch: Stonehill Jewish Music Collection, NYC, 13 May 2015

Special Launch Event for the Stonehill Jewish Music Collection. Mark your calendar for an event celebrating the launch of a new website http://www.ctmd.org/stonehill.htm) for the Ben Stonehill Jewish Song Collection!

Wed., May 13, 7pm–8:30pm
Hotel Marseilles,
230 West 103 Street (SW corner of West 103rd Street and Broadway).
Manhattan, NY

Admission is free!

In 1948, only 3 years after the war, Ben Stonehill recorded over a thousand songs from Holocaust survivors temporarily housed at the Hotel Marseilles after arriving in America. And on May 13, at this very hotel, we will be able to listen to some of the rare and important songs Stonehill captured for posterity. Though Stonehill passed away in 1964, we will hear his voice describing what he saw and heard in that lobby.

The evening will feature a presentation by Yiddish specialist and scholar Miriam Isaacs, Ph.D., herself born in a German DP camp. She has worked with CTMD to create a website which makes available the recordings and lyrics to many of these songs. Isaacs will describe the history and contents of the site and will play a few excerpts of the original songs, sung by men, women and children, mainly in Yiddish, but also Russian and Hebrew. Collectively, this body of song constitutes a haunting testimony to survivors' resilience, courage and humor.

We are thrilled that Masha Leon, one of the singers recorded at the time by Stonehill, will be joining us to share her experience and grace us with a song! A number of the songs will come alive as we will listen to contemporary singers in a zingeray (song-sharing session), featuring several wonderful exponents of traditional Yiddish and Russian song, including Isaacs, Carol Freeman, Esther Gottesman, Craig Packard, and Binyumen Schaechter.

The event will be followed by a reception with light refreshments. Programmed in partnership with the Sholem Aleichem Cultural Center. We are grateful for the assistance of ethnomusicologist Bret Werb of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Lorin Sklamberg of the YIVO Institute, Paula Teitelbaum, Binyumin Schaechter, Craig Packard and Itzik Gottesman for their assistance with this project, as well as the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Marinus and Minna B. Koster Foundation and the Atran Foundation.

New Yiddish Rep: "Making Stalin Laugh" US Premiere, NYC, 17 May 2015

New Yiddish Rep is presenting the US premiere of “Making Stalin Laugh,” British playwright David Schneider’s dark comedy that details the events leading up to the chilling silencing by Stalin of the revered Yiddish actor Solomon Mikhoels. Directed by Allen Lewis Rickman, the developmental workshop production plays an exclusive two-night engagement:

Sunday and Monday May 17 and 18, both at 7pm
Theatre 80
80 St. Marks Place
East Village, NYC

Tix: $25, visit www.newyiddishrep.org or call 888-596-1027.

The production’s multi-lingual cast includes Israeli television star Gera Sandler (as Mikhoels), and Yelena Shmulenson (“A Serious Man”).

“Making Stalin Laugh” world premiered in London last summer in an English-language production that The Independent called “a fascinating story.” New Yiddish Rep’s revised version will be performed in three languages -- Yiddish and Russian mostly and some English -- in a production that aims for language authenticity in its portrayal of the remarkable theatrical community that thrived (under dubious circumstances of course) as Stalin’s early support of the celebrated Moscow State Yiddish Theatre (GOSET) for propaganda purposes suddenly gave way to something far darker after the defeat of the Nazis and end of World War II.

Dating back to 1921, when the GOSET troupe moved into a theatre a short distance from the Kremlin, Mikhoels and his colorful compatriots shrewdly managed to build a Yiddish theatre that was seen as a jewel of Jewish culture in the Soviet Union. Even though its audiences were mostly gentile, Jews in Russia followed with pride the rising fortunes of GOSET and the growing stature of the internationally acclaimed Mikhoels.

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!

Holiday songs, love ballads, workers songs and songs of spiritual resistance all come to life in this intergenerational tribute concert to Chana Mlotek (1922-2013), who I.B Singer called the “Sherlock Holmes of Yiddish music”. Musically directed and performed by her son, Zalmen Mlotek, the artistic director of the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, as well as her grandchildren Lee, Avram, Marissa, Elisha and Sarah, MIR TROGN A GEZANG features songs that Chana unearthed in her decades of research. It was in tribute to this beloved Yiddish folklorist and anthologist that the initiative to organize KulturfestNYC was undertaken by community leaders Stanley Bergman and Mark Mlotek, and it is to her that this unprecedented festival of Jewish performing arts is dedicated.

Dr. Miriam Isaacs, NYC, 18 Jul 2016

Dr. Miriam Isaacs
"Songs from a Lost World: Singing as Resistance and Renewal in New York, 1948"

Monday, July 18, 2016, 6:30 p.m.
Mid-Manhattan Library, New York Public Library
Fifth Avenue and 40th Street,
New York, NY

Fully accessible to wheelchairs

Sponsored by the Dorot Jewish Division

In 1948, only three years after the war, Ben Stonehill recorded over a thousand songs from Holocaust survivors temporarily housed in a hotel in upper Manhattan. In this presentation, sociolinguist and Yiddish scholar Dr. Miriam Isaacs will explore the meaning of that archive and discuss what these songs tell us about the inner world of refugees and survivors. Many of these songs are rare, some written in the camps or by partisans. Among the most important of the singers was Shmerke Kaczerginski, a partisan and poet and the collector and an actress, Diana Blumenfeld.

Miriam Isaacs received her MA and Ph.D. at Cornell in linguistics. She has specialized in Yiddish language and literature. She was born in a German DP camp and grew up in Yiddish speaking enclaves of Montreal and Brooklyn, New York, graduating from Brooklyn's Erasmus High School and Brooklyn College. She has been working on creating a new website which makes available the lyrics to many of these songs. She will play cuts of the original songs, sung by men, women and children, mainly in Yiddish, but also Russian and Hebrew. Collectively, this body of song constitutes a haunting testimony to survivors’ resilience, courage and humor.

The program is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

Michael Wex book launch, Montreal, QC, Canada, 28 Aug 2016

Michael Wex will launch his new book, Rhapsody in Schmaltz

Sunday, Aug 28, 2pm
Jewish Public Library,
5151 Côte Ste-Catherine Road,
Montreal, QC, Canada.

Admission: $10 for members and students, $15 for non-members.
For tickets and information call 514-345-6416 or visit www.jewishpubliclibrary.org.

A study of Ashkenazi food that does for Yiddish food what Wex’s book Born to Kvetch did for Yiddish speech, Rhapsody in Schmaltz traces the history and social impact of the cuisine that Yiddish-speaking Jews from Central and Eastern Europe brought to the U.S. and that their American descendants developed and refined. The book looks at how and where these dishes came to be, how they varied from region to region, the role they played in Jewish culture in Europe, and the role that they play in Jewish and more general American culture and foodways today. It traces the pathways of Jewish food from the Bible and Talmud, to Eastern Europe, to its popular landing pads in North America today. With an eye for detail and a healthy dose of humor, Michael Wex also examines how these impact modern culture, from temple to television.

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!).

Tix: www.leweslivelit.co.uk/?location_id=45

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.

Viskonsin!: Tales of Yiddish Wisconsin
A symposium honoring Louis Bernard Wolfenson and 100 years of Yiddish at UW-Madison

November 6, 2016
1:00pm - 4:00pm
Memorial Library, Room 126
728 State St., Madison, WI

Free and open to the public.

In 1916, the University of Wisconsin-Madison became the nation's-and possibly the world's-first institute of higher education to offer Yiddish language instruction when Professor Louis Bernard Wolfenson began teaching courses in the vernacular language of Ashkenazi Jews. With presentations by Henry Sapoznik, Mark Louden, Jonathan Pollack, Francie Saposnik and Sunny Yudkoff, the Viskonsin symposium celebrates this important centenary with reflections on the history of Yiddish at UW, the current state of Yiddish studies, and thoughts on the next 100 years.

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.

ABOUT THE EVENING
National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene’s unparalleled success with the long-lost operetta The Golden Bride has inspired us to embark upon a critical research project to identify and restore forgotten works of the Yiddish Theatre canon for the enjoyment of contemporary audiences.

An exclusive preview concert of this rediscovered music will be presented at The Golden Gala, performed by stars of The Golden Bride: Rachel Policar, Cameron Johnson and Adam B. Shapiro. They will be joined by performers Grace Field and Daniel Greenwood and accompanied by a 16-piece orchestra under the baton of Zalmen Mlotek.

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.

In February’s Café, we’ll delve into the world of Isaac Babel's Odessa. We’ll explore his tales of the dark underbelly of the city, filled with gangsters, prostitutes, beggars and smugglers and everyday Jewish life.
Our Café will include the first part of Michale Boganim’s documentary Odessa Odessa (2005) which captures the former yiddish stars of Odessa living out their last days in deep poverty in the crumbling city, readings from the Boris Dralyuk’s new translation of Babel’s Odessa stories published this year by Pushkin Press and songs from Russian / Yiddish maestro Polina Shepherd and London Yiddish Choir.

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.

In 1948, amateur folklorist Ben Stonehill set out to capture the folk songs of Jewish refugees entering the U.S. from Eastern Europe following the war. Every week that summer, Stonehill lugged a bulky wire-recorder from his home in Queens to the Hotel Marseilles on Manhattan's Upper West Side, recording the songs of newly-arrived refugees. In all, he recorded some 1,054 titles which are fully digitized and now being translated by Miriam Isaacs through the Center for Traditional Music and Dance.

Co-sponsored by the Mayrent Institute for Yiddish Culture and the Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies.

Drawing from repertories of Jewish song from the Holocaust gathered from the cabarets, camps, ghettos, theaters, and films, the 2016 Grammy-nominated New Budapest Orpheum Society bears witness to those murdered, those who resisted, and those who must not be forgotten. In this concert commemorating Yom HaShoah, the NBOS honors composers Hermann Leopoldi, Friedrich Hollander, Imré Kálmán, Hans Eisler/Bertolt Brecht, and Erich Korngold, whose musical contributions trace a path to the European Jewish past resounded once again.
Pre-concert talk at 6:30pm by Dr. Philip V. Bohlman, Ludwig Rosenberger Distinguished Service Professor in Jewish History, University of Chicago.

This concert will explore music of composer Annie Gosfield that takes its inspiration from Jewish culture, history, and the New York immigrant experience. A longtime resident of New York City’s East Village, Gosfield has been hailed “a star of the downtown scene,” (The New Yorker), and her music has been described as “imaginative” and “exuberant” (The New York Times).

A discussion with Gosfield on Jewish identity, her family history in the Lower East Side and the influence of Jewish history and culture on her work will bring the evening to a close.

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.

Yiddish songs of struggle and protest Cantors Jeff Klepper and Becky Khitrik, with the Temple Sinai Choir present annual Gussman Service Fri, May 19, 2017, 7:30pm - 8:30pm Temple Sinai 25 Canton Street Sharon MA 02067 p: (781) 784-6081 "These biting songs are very different than the lullabies and comedic songs we often associate with Yiddish music. They are political songs, sung originally at meetings of the Jewish Bund (labor union) early in the 20th century. Some of them originated in Russia prior to 1917 and were brought here by Jewish immigrants. Many were composed and sung during labor strikes and rallies protesting the terrible conditions of sweatshops where so many, including children, were forced to work long hours at low pay." "Our Gusman Service on May 19th is not merely about Jewish art and collective memory -- it is a celebration of our people's long tradition of civic engagement and social concern. Please join us for this special musical event!"

An elegant as well as nostalgic program devoted to treasures of Yiddish song and the poetry that has inspired this musical expression in all its variety of style. Presented in the intimate chamber music setting of a traditional classical Liederabend (song evening) appropriate to the immediacy of this cherished genre, the recital will feature four of its leading interpreters: Ida Rae Cahana, Elizabeth Shammash, Raphael Frieder, and Alberto Mizrahi together with world renowned virtuoso pianist Yehudi Wyner. Offerings will include songs by Lazar Weiner, Moses Milner, Solomon Rosowsky, Solomon Golub, Janot Roskin, Mikhl Gelbart, Mordecai Gebirtig, Joel Engel, and Maurice Rauch, along with artistic settings of some of the most beloved Yiddish folksongs, and capped by melodious echoes of the best of Yiddish theater.

The concept and content of this Yiddish Liederabend has been devised by YIVO’s Anne E. Leibowitz Visiting Professor in Residence in Music, Neil W. Levin, who will deliver the pre-concert lecture on the development of the Yiddish lieder tradition and its literary basis.

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.

I.L. Peretz was perhaps the most theatrically exciting playwright in all Yiddish literature, with astoundingly experimental plays that broke new ground in Yiddish drama and theater. In their experimentation with form, their early adoption of cutting-edge European modernist techniques, their enigmatic endings, and their sheer technical prowess, Peretz's plays were far ahead of their time. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his 1907 play Bay nakht afn altn mark (A Night in the Old Marketplace), a modernist panoramic chronicle of the modern Jewish experience and the culmination of his vision for the Yiddish stage. Debra Caplan explores the play and its production history, with reference to the evening's contemporary staging by Frank London.

This modern retelling of I.L. Peretz's 1907 play Bay nakht afn altn mark is a mad mash-up of psychedelic klezmer, Kurt Weill, and folk tunes from the Old Country gone electric. It tells the story of the badkhn, a traditional Jewish wedding jester, who over the course of one long night challenges God's authority by attempting to revive the dead and bring on the end of days. Conceived and directed by Alexandra Aron, with music composed by Frank London and lyrics and text by Glen Berger (Broadway's Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), this multimedia concert features an all-star cast of singers and musicians, including London and his Klezmatics cofounder Lorin Sklamberg, with Yidstock Artistic Director Seth Rogovoy as special guest narrator.

Alicia Svigals, the world's greatest living exponent of klezmer fiddle, offers a hands-on demonstration of what makes the violin (along with the clarinet) a quintessential instrument of the klezmer ensemble. Alicia will demonstrate the unique ornaments and playing techniques that distinguish klezmer fiddle-playing and give it a singular Jewish voice. She'll also talk about the challenges she faced when she almost singlehandedly revived the lost art of the klezmer fiddle in her work with the band she cofounded, the Klezmatics.

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!

En savoir plus | réservation

Considéré comme le fondateur des littératures yiddish et hébraïque modernes, Mendele Moykher-Sforim (1836–1917) a forgé une langue littéraire qu’il n’a cessé de perfectionner. Prosateur hors pair, père du roman réaliste et allégorique et acteur clé de l’ouverture du monde juif à la pensée et à la culture occidentales, il a su s’inspirer des textes fondateurs de la tradition juive pour créer une littérature originale et universelle. Ses œuvres en prose, drames, essais et traductions en yiddish et en hébreu ont eu une grande influence sur l’imaginaire collectif juif. Ses héros et les lieux fictifs où ils évoluent sont devenus, à côté de ceux créés par son fils spirituel Sholem-Aleykhem, des paradigmes du monde yiddish d’autrefois.

"Dzhungl, un gedreng un umzin vilder" (jungle, crush, upheaval, wild absurd), wrote the poet Arn Glanz Leyeles about New York almost 70 years ago. For some, New York was the beacon light of the Statue of Liberty, a home where immigrants found freedom and endless possibilities. To others it was a "wild absurd" where amidst the teeming millions one felt oneself more alone than ever. We will read Yiddish poems about New York from early voices such as Leyeles and Moyshe-Leyb Halpern to more contemporary ones such as Reyzl Zhikhlinski and Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman. Poems will be available in both Yiddish and English translation. Discussion leader will speak Yiddish.

"Der Purimspiler" (the Jester), Amherst, MA, 4 Mar 2018

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
Member | $6
General Admission | $8
