BANG ON A CAN ALL-STARS with special guest MEREDITH MONK
The 2007 Peoples Commissioning Fund (PCF) Concert

Greetings Friends! This is David Lang writing from slushy Manhattan.

Next week we will host an absolutely fantastic concert here in New York City - The 2007 Peoples Commissioning Fund (PCF) Concert at Merkin Hall on Thursday, March 1 at 8pm. This year is also the 10th Anniversary of this program and over the last decade, the PCF Concert has become one of the true highlights of our season here in New York. Each year we pool contributions from many of you and commission new music from a wildly eclectic range of composers for the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Not only will we get to witness and hear the incomparable All-Stars attack 3 world premieres by composers Lukas Ligeti, Joshua Penman, and Stefan Weisman, but this year we are also thrilled to have the legendary songstress Meredith Monk take the stage with the group for the second half of the concert. If you havent already caught this rarely performed collaboration by two of New Yorks most innovative music-makers, youve got to come out and join the celebration. We hope to see you there!

Some of you have attended before and some of you are first-timers. Some of you are already among the valiant members of the PCF, having helped commission this music and make this evening possible. The PCF is a unique concert experience highlighted by the innovation and daring of a new generation of creative musicians. It is part of a world in which music is exciting, challenging, inextinguishable, and necessary.

The Peoples Commissioning Fund exists to bring composers and audiences together. When we started it we were looking for a way to show how many innovative ideas were percolating in the music world, how composers from different backgrounds were striking out in all directions, avoiding all the beaten paths. Every year we look for composers who have strong opinions, and this year is no different.

And then, theres the Bang on a Can All-Stars. The ensemble is fearlessly dedicated to the challenge of the new and unexpected. This evening is made possible by their ferocious energy and focus.

This year we are also joined by a special guest: the legendary composer, singer, director, choreographer, filmmaker and visual artist Meredith Monk. She personifies the notion that if the world doesnt do all you need it to then you must rebuild it yourself. Since the beginning of Bang on a Can we have been inspired by Merediths work, her invention, her incredible energy and infectious spirit, and in the past few years she has become one of our best musical friends, touring with the All-Stars all the way from Zankel Hall to Alaska and beyond. Last year Meredith was the featured artist at the Bang on a Can Summer Festival, which we do every summer at Mass Moca, in North Adams, Massachusetts. Much of Merediths work is vocal, and for her own ensemble. In order to perform with her we have had to arrange her works for the All-Stars, adapting the specificity and focus of her originals to the explosiveness of the band. It has been an exciting challenge for us finding the places where we can support Merediths delicacy and wit with our own edgy energies.

We are honored to be performing with her, and we will be honored for you to join us.

Sincerely,
David Lang

EXTENDED BODY:
The Ensemble Lucidarium, a famous international group of scholar musicians specialized in the works of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, will perform: "La Istoria de Purim," Jewish music and poetry from the Italian Renaissance, which was awarded first prize in 2004 by the European Association for Jewish Culture.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, northern Italy was a meeting place for three separate Jewish communities: Ashkenazi, Jews coming from northeastern Europe, Sephardic Jews from the Iberian peninsula, and Italikim who had been in Italy since the days of the Roman Empire. The music from this period is characterized by a fertile exchange of ideas and culture between Jews and gentiles. The texts transcribed into the Hebrew alphabet in four-verse stanzas are written in the colorful Jewish vernacular spoken in the Po valley during the sixteenth century. The rhymes were typical of the songs performed to celebrate the festival of Purim by recounting the story of Queen Esther. Ensemble Lucidarium has reconstructed the music through painstaking research into sixteenth-century music and oral traditions still alive in certain areas of the Tuscan and Emilian Apennines.

This concert has been organized with the support of Congregation Beth Shalom
of Naperville and E.A.J.C. (European Association for Jewish Culture).

JuMu présente
(en accord avec Run Productions)

En concert unique a Paris
Sophie Solomon (Londres) + SoCalled (Canada)
L'avenir de la musique Klezmer

Inevitable rencontre parisienne a l'initiative de JuMu entre notre DJ Canadien national, SoCalled (aka Josh Dolgin), et la tres charismatique Sophie Solomon, violoniste britannique qui s'est illustree notamment au sein des Oi Va Oi, groupe electro londonien. Ces deux personnages, au centre de la nouvelle scene klezmer, n'ont jamais hesite a derouter leurs auditeurs en incorporant a la base de leur univers musical des elements exterieurs afin d'explorer de nouvelles marges. SoCalled, en collectionneur avise, mixe depuis toujours des vieux disques klezmer avec du hip hop et de l'electro mais ne laisse jamais son piano et son accordeon seuls trop longtemps, tandis que Sophie Solomon multiplie les projets les plus improbables sans se preoccuper des etiquettes, a coup de melange de sonorites russes, tziganes ou proche-orientales, sa virtuosite prenant toute sa dimension dans ces melodies tantot lancinantes, tantot enjouees mais toujours d'une grande dignité typique de la musique juive d'Europe de l'Est.

The Dutch-American Yiddish music quartet is in the middle
of their "Fun Shtetl Tsu Shtetl" all-synagogue tour of Holland.
The response has been overwhelming and the shows are selling out
across the country. Nikitov has been touring in support of their
latest recording "Vanderlust" on Chamsa records both in the US and
Europe. The group concludes the tour at De Waag in Haarlem where
centuries of troubadors performed to prove their skill and talent
and, in more recent history, folk singers like Joan Baez and Simon
and Garfunkel have come to pay homage to the great singers of the
past.

"Republic of Dreams", takes the magic realism writings and imaginings of WWII-era Polish-Jewish artist Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), adapting his lush, magical and sometimes erotic drawings to the stage. Using the theatre's signature style of physicality, imagery, puppetry, live instrumental and choral music, Double Edge deeply explores Schulz' powerful prose and life, as well as his banal death at the hands of a jealous Nazi, to create an unforgettable journey through the human experience in the modern world. "Republic of Dreams" is conceived and directed by Stacy Klien.

Double Edge Theatre, based in Ashfield, MA, is a creator of dynamic and visually stunning theater pieces. It has a unique approach, by establishing a home "The Farm" where the artist can practice, receive training, research and conduct cultural exchanges with other artists. Double Edge Theatre is widely renowned for long-term collaborations, classic literature adaptations, and original theater performances.

If you would like to arrange a group of students to see this production, please contact Kiku Sakai at 212-254-6468. This is a great opportunity for students of various majors such as Art, Theatre, Slavic and Jewish Studies and Literature to explore the culture and history of the early 20th Century in Poland.

Dr. Jeffrey Shandler, Rutgers University
Respondents: Dr. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, New York University,

Co-sponsor: Working Group on Jews/Media/Religion at the Center for Religion and Media, New York University

Location: The Center for Jewish History
15 W. 16th St. New York, NY
This event is free and open to the public

Jeffrey Shandler will discuss American cantors' interactions with new media of the past century and how it has transformed their art and their stature as performers. Their engagement with sound recordings, sheet music, motion pictures, and radio and television broadcasting created new possibilities for cantors that tested the limits of their traditional role as shliah tsibur (communal messenger).

Une formidable énergie pour distiller les flonflons en fanfare des musiques klezmer, héritées des anciens ghettos juifs d'Europe centrale. Une craquante voix éraillée pour chanter des complaintes empruntées au répertoire des Tziganes des Balkans. Et surtout … la verve ironique et pas du tout robotique d'un étonnant rap en yiddish ... Septet pour cuivres, accordéon, basse et percussions, l'Amsterdam Klezmer Band est mené depuis sa création, en 1996, par le saxophoniste et vocaliste Job Chajes. Le groupe a fait ses premiers pas dans les parcs et les pubs hollandais. D'où la pêche exaltée qui habite ses musiques, compositions originales ou grands classiques empruntés au répertoire traditionnel…. (Eliane Azoulay)

Amsterdam Klezmer Band Remixed! Dix ans et neuf albums plus tard, le groupe mélange aux rythmes accoustiques de ses débuts, des textures Balkaniques, de la musique Turques et Gypsy, des rythmes Darbuka, du Dub, le tout remixé par les stars de la place, et jugez plutôt : Shantel (Bucovina Club), DJ Yuri Gurzhy (Russendisko), Stefan Schmid (Zuco 103), Cmon & Kypski, Peter Millenaar et Marcel Vos.

Rebecca Joy Fletcher and Stephen Mo Hanan in
KLEYNKUNST! Warsaw's Brave and Brilliant Yiddish Cabaret

Sunday, March 11, 4:30pm
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
English lyrics: Jeremy Lawrence

Rebecca Joy Fletcher is an ordained cantor and performer of Yiddish, German, French, and Israeli cabaret. Degenerate!, her original show exploring German cabaret, from Weimar through the Holocaust, which was developed under the auspices of the Makor/Steinhardst Center of the 92nd St Y Artists-in-Residence program, premiered at Makor (NYC) in 2005. The international cabaret show, The New Jew Cabaret, was first performed at Hebrew Tabernacle Congregation (NYC), in 2005. In 2004 and 2005, she was headlined as The Cabaret Artist in the Washington Heights Arts Stroll, a festival for the arts in upper Manhattan, performing the first year, together with the Sephardic music ensemble, Alhambra, in Pearls and Rubies, and the second year, in Grit and Glamour Cabaret. Rebecca's newest work includes the one woman show, HOME, first performed in workshop production at Hebrew Union College and Ripley Greere Studios (2003), and slated for a limited run at the Connelley Theater (NYC) in September, 2007. Ms. Fletcher also serves as the cantor of Temple Israel, in Staten Island.

Stephen Mo Hanan recently played Der Groyse General in Folksbiene's Yiddish adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance. Years before, he got a Tony Nomination for his role in Cats, a show whose creation he documented in his book A Cat's Diary. He was Captain Hook in Cathy Rigby's Peter Pan, and Al Jolson in Jolson & Company, which he co-authored. Also Pseudolus, Thenardier, Peer Gynt and Voltaire.

Bob Goldstone On Broadway, Bob was orchestral pianist for Evita and assistant conductor for Charlie and Algernon. Off Broadway, he was musical director and arranger for Asylum: The Strange Case of Mary Lincoln, Tallulah Hallelujah (with Tovah Feldshuh), Bubbe Meises, Das Lusitania Songspiel (with Sigourney Weaver and Christopher Durang), Guilt Without Sex (with Marilyn Sokol), and The Coolest Cat in Town. Among the top cabaret and concert artists Bob has worked with are: Eileen Fulton, Tovah Feldshuh, Karen Akers, Bruce Adler, Marni Nixon, Marilyn Sokol, Liliane Montevecchi, Eddie Fisher, and Dick Shawn. Bob did the musical arrangements for the feature film High Stakes and composed the score for the indie film, The Skip. Bob's many show orchestrations include: The Little Rascals, Hannah 1939, Michel Legrand's A Christmas Carol, The Housewives' Cantata, Dragons, and The Phantom Tollbooth. In the classical world, he was accompanist for the New Haven Opera, has participated in chamber music recitals at the Manes School, and has played orchestral piano for concerts by the 92nd Street Y Symphonic Workshop Orchestra and the Center Symphony.

Michael Montel includes, among his proudest achievements, his years spent with Hal Prince, Stephen Porter, and T. Edward Hambleton as Artistic Director of the Phoenix Theatre. Other Broadway credits include Inge's Summer Brave and revivals of The Member of the Wedding and Holiday. For the York Theater's Musicals in Mufti series Montel has directed stellar casts in such shows as Me and Juliet, Johnny Jonson, The Girl Who Came to Supper, and Wish You Were Here. Internationally, his work has been seen in Israel at Tel Aviv's Cameri Theater. For opera, Montel has directed the world premieres of Balseros by Robert Ashley and Maria Irene Fornes, P.D.Q. Bach's (Peter Schickele) The Abduction of Figaro, Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti (available on CD), Holst's Savitri, and Copland's The Tender Land, with the composer conducting.

Nikitov
Mrt. 11
Café Kobalt
Amsterdam, NL
17:00-20:00

The Dutch-American Yiddish music quartet is in the middle
of their "Fun Shtetl Tsu Shtetl" all-synagogue tour of Holland.
The response has been overwhelming and the shows are selling out
across the country. Nikitov has been touring in support of their
latest recording "Vanderlust" on Chamsa records both in the US and
Europe. The group concludes the tour at De Waag in Haarlem where
centuries of troubadors performed to prove their skill and talent
and, in more recent history, folk singers like Joan Baez and Simon
and Garfunkel have come to pay homage to the great singers of the
past.

Najwa began her musical training with her father Marun in Middle Eastern vocal techniques and Maqamatt (traditional Middle Eastern musical scales system) and later on studied piano at the Haifa conservatory. Starting at the age of 13 Najwa has sung professionally in various Arabic community events. After immigrating to Canada she continued her studies at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto where she studied voice.

He performs on four different instruments: duduk, zurna, shvi, and clarinet—and his repertoire extends from middle-Eastern traditional music to ancient sacred melodies to the contemporary world music styles. Yeghish has arguably developed the most charismatic sound and style among contemporary Armenian woodwind virtuosos and is known worldwide for his beloved song “Yeghish Bar” (featured on the soundtrack for Sally Potter’s film “Yes”). Yeghish’s haunting duduk playing commanded the soundtrack for the USA Network primetime mini-series, “Helen of Troy” and numerous other scores for film and TV. Over the last 35 years Yeghish captivated audiences worldwide and has established loyal fans in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States.

NY Premiere of Soulico
SOULICO IN NEW YORK
Wednesday, March 14th
@ Canal Room - 285 West Broadway @ Canal St.
A,C,E to Canal St.
1,9,N, or R to Canal St.

$15 general admission including open bar from 9-10 PM
$36 "Drink & Think" VIP reception includes open bar 8-10PM and a conversation with JDub President Aaron Bisman, Six Points Fellowship Director Rebecca Guber, Avoda Arts Coordinator Jackie Miller and Soulico - "Jewish Culture: What it is & Why it Matters!"
Co-presented by UJA Federation of New York

Click here for advance tickets

Soulico is a 4 member DJ crew from Tel Aviv, the first DJ's in the Middle East to master the trifecta of production, turntabilsm, and party-rocking skills. Soulico has garned incredible respect and critical acclaim both for their original songs and their unique mash-ups that blend Israeli folk and Jewish melodies with American hip-hop tracks.

Having heard the buzz from their underground mixtapes and continuously sold out 500 to 3,000 person shows in Israel, JDub tracked down the members of Soulico to begin working on their debut original album due out fall 2007. But the live show is just too good to wait until fall! Soulico is more like a band than a regular ol' DJ. The members jump on top of each others cuts to create perfect mixes and keep the party going using 3-4 turntables, 2 mixers, and a drum machine/ sampler. It's never the same twice, but it's always great!

La MaMa E.T.C. is proud to present the World Premier of

REPUBLIC OF DREAMS
--- Inspired by the writing, artwork and life of Bruno Schulz ---
A new piece by Double Edge Theatre

The Annex at La MaMa E.T.C.
74 A EAST 4TH STREET

Mar 8 - 18, 2007
Thursday - Saturday at 7:30pm
Sun at 2:30pm & 7:30pm

La MaMa E.T.C is located at 74A East 4th St. between 2nd Avenue and The Bowery

TICKETS :$20 Box Office (212) 475-7710
Student & senior tickets are $15 www.lamama.org

"Republic of Dreams", takes the magic realism writings and imaginings of WWII-era Polish-Jewish artist Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), adapting his lush, magical and sometimes erotic drawings to the stage. Using the theatre's signature style of physicality, imagery, puppetry, live instrumental and choral music, Double Edge deeply explores Schulz' powerful prose and life, as well as his banal death at the hands of a jealous Nazi, to create an unforgettable journey through the human experience in the modern world. "Republic of Dreams" is conceived and directed by Stacy Klien.

Double Edge Theatre, based in Ashfield, MA, is a creator of dynamic and visually stunning theater pieces. It has a unique approach, by establishing a home "The Farm" where the artist can practice, receive training, research and conduct cultural exchanges with other artists. Double Edge Theatre is widely renowned for long-term collaborations, classic literature adaptations, and original theater performances.

If you would like to arrange a group of students to see this production, please contact Kiku Sakai at 212-254-6468. This is a great opportunity for students of various majors such as Art, Theatre, Slavic and Jewish Studies and Literature to explore the culture and history of the early 20th Century in Poland. Double Edge Theatre would be happy to give your students a post-performance discussion on the production. Our student rate is $15. Please share this information with your colleague.

of their "Fun Shtetl Tsu Shtetl" all-synagogue tour of Holland.
The response has been overwhelming and the shows are selling out
across the country. Nikitov has been touring in support of their
latest recording "Vanderlust" on Chamsa records both in the US and
Europe. The group concludes the tour at De Waag in Haarlem where
centuries of troubadors performed to prove their skill and talent
and, in more recent history, folk singers like Joan Baez and Simon
and Garfunkel have come to pay homage to the great singers of the
past.

REPUBLIC OF DREAMS
--- Inspired by the writing, artwork and life of Bruno Schulz ---
A new piece by Double Edge Theatre

74 A EAST 4TH STREET

Mar 8 - 18, 2007
Thursday - Saturday at 7:30pm
Sun at 2:30pm & 7:30pm

La MaMa E.T.C is located at 74A East 4th St. between 2nd Avenue and The Bowery

"Republic of Dreams", takes the magic realism writings and imaginings of WWII-era Polish-Jewish artist Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), adapting his lush, magical and sometimes erotic drawings to the stage. Using the theatre's signature style of physicality, imagery, puppetry, live instrumental and choral music, Double Edge deeply explores Schulz' powerful prose and life, as well as his banal death at the hands of a jealous Nazi, to create an unforgettable journey through the human experience in the modern world. "Republic of Dreams" is conceived and directed by Stacy Klien.

Double Edge Theatre, based in Ashfield, MA, is a creator of dynamic and visually stunning theater pieces. It has a unique approach, by establishing a home "The Farm" where the artist can practice, receive training, research and conduct cultural exchanges with other artists. Double Edge Theatre is widely renowned for long-term collaborations, classic literature adaptations, and original theater performances.

If you would like to arrange a group of students to see this production, please contact Kiku Sakai at 212-254-6468. This is a great opportunity for students of various majors such as Art, Theatre, Slavic and Jewish Studies and Literature to explore the culture and history of the early 20th Century in Poland. Double Edge Theatre would be happy to give your students a post-performance discussion on the production. Our student rate is $15. Please share this information with your colleague.

A unique musical-theatrical work created by the renowned Klezmer ensemble Brave Old World. Built around the arrangements of rare songs performed in the Nazi ghetto of Lodz, Poland, the program is a musical and spiritual testament to resistance, love and reconciliation in the face of intolerance.
