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.

Galeet Dardashti's "Monajat," Medford, MA, 15 Sep, 2011
Monajat, A commissioned multimedia work by Galeet Dardashti
Granoff Music Center
Tufts University
Medford, MA
September 15, 2011, 8 pm
Monajat is inspired by Selihot, the poetic prayers of forgiveness recited during the month preceding the Jewish High Holidays according to Middle Eastern tradition. This period of deep reflection and spiritual preparation serves as a backdrop for Dardashti’s time-specific concert and program. The first-time U.S. presentation of Monajat combines participatory workshops, talks, prayer services, and other educational programs to enhance the spiritual and cultural experience. Dardashti, a performer and anthropologist of Iranian descent, re-imagines the Selihot ritual in collaboration with an acclaimed ensemble of Jewish and Muslim musicians, an electronic soundscape, and dynamic video projections by video artist and designer Dmitry Kmelnitsky.
Dardashti’s acclaimed ensemble of musicians includes Omer Avital (oud, bass, vocals), Amir ElSaffar (santour, vocals), Tal Ronen (bass, vocals) and Dafer Tawil (percussion, violin, ney, oud, vocals).
Presented by: Boston Jewish Music Festival and New Center for Arts and Culture
Co-sponsored by: Jewish Women's Archive
The Foundation for Jewish Culture and its league of performing arts presenters have commissioned Monajat (Fervent Prayer), a multimedia concert by composer, singer, and scholar Galeet Dardashti which will tour the United States in September 2011. Monajat, an evening of Middle Eastern musical poetry, inaugurates the New Jewish Culture Network, an initiative to create and deliver outstanding Jewish music and other art forms to audiences in the U.S. and beyond.

Roger Davidson CD release, NYC, 17 Sep 2011
Pianist ROGER DAVIDSON debuts “ON THE ROAD OF LIFE” September 17 at DROM
Jewish artist will be performing at New York Gypsy Festival.
Sep 17, 8pm
Drom
85 Ave. A, NYC
Tix: $15 adv/$20 door
DROM, located in East Village, will be celebrating with Roger Davidson and Frank London playing Jewish music and klezmer during the 7th annual New York Gypsy Festival. The event is on September 17 but the
festival starts Sept. 9.
More info:
www.dromnyc.com
Pianist and composer Roger Davidson's work in classical choral music, jazz, Brazilian music, and tango, introduces "On the Road of Life,"—a recording of original songs in klezmer style. Klezmer is an instrumental music tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. It's a mostly festive music, originally performed for dancing at weddings and other joyful events. It shouldn't surprise then that for Davidson—born in Paris to a family with American, French, and German roots, raised in New York, and curious since childhood about the big world outside klezmer "might suggest both, honoring old bonds but also a world of possibilities."
On the Road to Life is not a traditional klezmer music recording. For Frank London, trumpeter, bandleader, and the album's arranger and producer. It represents the sound of klezmer distilled through Roger Davidson.
Amanda Monaco, New York, NY, 17 September 2011

Monaco has composed and recorded a suite of music inspired by these teachings, using excerpts as the lyrics for each piece and singing them in their original languages, Hebrew and Aramaic. Joining her on the recording and at the CD release concert are Ayelet Rose Gottlieb on vocals, Daphna Mor on recorders and ney, Sean Conly on bass, and Satoshi Takeishi on percussion.

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.
