Joey Weisenberg Ensemble, New York, NY, 21 October 2012
New Brooklyn Jewish Music with the Joey Weisenberg Ensemble
Part of the Museum at Eldridge Street Lost & Found Music Series
A rising star of the Brooklyn music scene, Joey Weisenberg pays homage to his roots. His ensemble puts a new spin on nigunim – Jewish melodies, prayers and chants that are by turns haunting and ecstatic – organically blending Balkan, soul, bluegrass, and other musical traditions. The historic Eldridge Street Synagogue is the perfect venue for this inspired blend of ancient and cutting edge.
This concert continues the Museum's fall Lost & Found Music Series highlighting the sacred music traditions of the Golden Age of Cantorial Music.
