Talia Cooper, Berkeley, CA, 1 Feb 2014

Talia Cooper's Goodbye Concert & Benefit for Jewish Youth for Community Action

Saturday, Feb. 1 at 8 PM
JCC East Bay,
1414 Walnut St.,
Berkeley, CA

$15-$40 sliding scale / $8-$20 for youth 17 & under
For tickets, click here or call 1-800-838-3006

Singer/songwriter Talia Cooper, a Jewish Music Festival veteran, gives her last Bay Area performance before moving to New York. She'll perform with special guests Linda Hirschhorn, Eli Conley, Caitlin Austin, Liz Stuart, Jeffrey Landau, Jessica Chen, Stephen Petersen, Maia "Papaya" Wiitala and others.

Talia's original songs weave together her family traditions of activism, humor and Jewish culture, with tones ranging from sassy and humorous, to politically contemplative, to romantic with a twist. Her voice has been compared to her heroes Dar Williams, Joni Mitchell and Ani Difranco. She also performs in the a cappella quartet Vocolot.

Talia has served as director of Jewish Youth for Community Action, a program created and led by youth working towards progressive social change within a framework of Jewish values. JYCA will benefit from the concert's proceeds.

Klezwoods Belly Dance Ballet, Somerville, MA, 1 Feb 2014

Belly Dance Ballet

February 1st, 2014, 8pm
The Armory
191 Highland Ave.
Somerville, MA

$20-online / $25-door

More info: www.bellydanceballet.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

movie stillAlicia Svigal's original score to the 1918 silent film classic, "the Yellow Ticket," starring Pola Negri, performed live by Klezmer Unfettered: Marilyn Lerner and Alicia Svigals Opening Night: Jewish & Israeli Film Festival Sat, Feb 8, 2014, 8pm Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of Religion, Schaeur Chapel 3101 Clifton Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio Tickets Alicia SvigalsThe Yellow Ticket is a live multimedia concert event featuring the eponymous 1918 Pola Negri silent film with a performance of an original score by Alicia Svigals, one of the world's foremost klezmer fiddlers. The score is the newest commission from the Foundation's New Jewish Culture Network (NJCN) and marks the first feature-length film composition by Svigals who will perform live with virtuoso pianist Marilyn Lerner at each of the screenings of this cinema classic. Set in Poland and Tsarist Russia, the film portrays a woman's struggle to overcome adversity in a story of secret identifies, heroic measures, and triumphant love.

Dr. Michael Meyer, Emeritus Professor of History at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, will provide some extra insight into the film! And stay after the film for a dessert reception and an exclusive meet-and-greet with the artists.

Heartbeat @ Boston Jewish Music Fest, Watertown, MA, 23 Feb 2014

Heartbeat

Sun, Feb 23, 4pm
Arsenal Center for the Arts
321 Arsenal St
Watertown, MA

Preferred seating $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Regular seating $18 in advance, $20 at the door. $10 students.
Click here to buy tickets.

Heartbeat uses popular music as a tool to bring Israeli and Palestinian youth together. Music is a powerful way to engage young people in dialogue and holds a natural means to share their trust-building experience with a much wider audience. A good song can spread far beyond the studio where it was created, potentially influencing millions through concerts, videos and recordings. Heartbeat creates opportunities for young Israeli and Palestinian musicians to build trust and work together to create a better future through music. This concert of enthusiastic, creative contemporary and traditional music is presented in partnership with Congregation B'nai Or of Boston.
