David Krakauer with the Kronos Quartet
Friday, May 3 at 9:00 pm
Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall
57th Street and 7th Avenue
Tickets: $54 - $64 at
www.carnegiehall.org
David joins the Kronos Quartet at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall as part of Late Nights at Zankel Hall. He'll be featured on the New York premiere of Aleksandra Vrebalov's Babylon, Our Own. Also included on the program will be the world premiere of Missy Mazzoli's You Know Me From Here, Laurie Anderson's Flow (arr. Jacob Garchik), and the New York premiere of Valentin Silvestrov's String Quartet No. 3.
Vrebalov said, "Babylon, Our Own is written for the Kronos Quartet and David Krakauer, and is inspired by their passionate and masterful playing of diverse styles of music. I wrote the piece having in mind their individual characteristics as performers: Krakauer's ecstatic high register, David Harrington's uncanny responsiveness in dialogue-like sections, John Sherba's rare ability to carve the shortest phrase into a precise musical statement, Hank Dutt's most soulful solos, and Jeffrey Zeigler's powerful triple-stops and superhuman rhythmic precision. The result is a piece in which times, places, and cultures intersect to celebrate music as the language I feel most comfortable with, a language that has brought all of us together."

SPECIAL 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.

Presented as part of the Skirball’s new concert series, Journeys and Encounters, presenting surprising collaborations between musicians of diverse genres.
Shabaz et JuMu (prop)osent : L’AVENIR DE LA MUSIQUE KLEZMER
Anakronic Electro Orkestra (Electro Klezmer) + DJ RKK (Klezmer & Balkanik Mix)
Special guest from New York Brooklyn: Taron Benson
En concert
Jeudi 16 mai 2013 à 20h30
Au NEW MORNING
7/9 rue des Petites Ecuries
75010 PARIS
Deux ans après l'album SPEAK WITH GHOSTS, Anakronic Electro Orkestra revient avec l’album NOISE IN SEPHER (ffff de Télérama) et dépoussière les vieux grimoires de la musique Yiddish. Ces enchanteurs de l'ère numérique pratiquent une alchimie toujours aussi efficace, un mysticisme à grand coup de zéros et de uns, au son d'une musique traditionnelle qu'ils rendent subversivement moderne.
Au-delà d'un simple mélange, ce disque est une appropriation totale du répertoire Ashkénaze. Le hip-hop incisif mâtiné d'une chanson joyeuse (Lady Mydriasis) contraste avec cet autre morceaux de rap où quatre-vingt années de musiques et de tendances sont rassemblées dans trois minutes trente d'une efficacité jubilatoire (Noise in Sepher II feat. Taron Benson). Égaré mais heureux, on se retrouve trimballé d'une techno rageuse aux accents bulgares (Invidia) jusqu'à des montées hallucinées et planantes rappelant aussi bien le rock progressif que la musique classique (Schrödinger, Cabbalistic snare).
Enfin, le new-yorkais David Krakauer, légende vivante du Klezmer et premier artisan du renouveau mondial de cette musique fait une apparition virtuose dans un battle survolté avec une drum'n'bass déchainée et un dub sombre et profond (Uruk). Tout cela retrouve la danse, la transe, la joie et la douleur des anciennes mélodies pour former un véritable langage artistique original.
Dorénavant le Klezmer est une musique électro au même titre que la jungle, le break-beat ou le dubstep... le disque NOISE IN SEPHER en est l'ultime preuve (sortie avril 2013 sur Balagan Box / La Baleine).

DOIN’ WHAT COMES NATUR’LLY: A TRIBUTE TO COMPOSER/LYRICIST IRVING BERLIN

Irving Berlin arrived from Russia at age five. A native Yiddish speaker, he quickly mastered English and taught himself to play piano. With these basic skills and remarkable raw talent, he composed some of the most cherished songs of the Great American Songbook, including “Alexander’s Rag Time Band,” “Always,” “God Bless America,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Cheek to Cheek” and the best-selling pop song ever, “White Christmas." He also wrote the music and lyrics to such wonderful hit shows as Annie Get Your Gun and Call Me Madam and films such as Top Hat, Blue Skies and Easter Parade.
In this multimedia presentation, you’ll learn about Irving Berlin’s personal and professional life and see scenes from his Broadway and Hollywood musicals featuring superstars such as Ethel Merman, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Donald O'Connor, Betty Hutton, and Michael Feinstein. Plus you’ll see video of Berlin himself performing his melodies and lyrics.
This is an encore presentation by Bonnie Weiss, whose multimedia talk on lyricist Yip Harburg in February for the 28th Jewish Music Festival delighted a sold-out audience. She teaches musical theater appreciation at San Francisco State and Dominican Universities.
