"Lilith, the Night Demon, in One Lewd Act"
Thur May 1, 7:30pm
Kanbar Center, Osher Marin JCC,
200 N. San Pedro Rd.
San Rafael, CA 94903
World premiere of a composition. The trio plays in this performance with San Francisco Choral Artists, a 24-voice chamber ensemble specializing in innovative programming and performance excellence. SFCA has premiered more than 190 works and won the 2012 ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming.
The work is a choral mystery drama by Joshua Horowitz of the internationally renowned Bay Area ensemble Veretski Pass. It is based on Jewish superstitions that makes wild use of multilingual texts, and ancient sources, and combines homemade instruments with poly-choral avant-garde gestures to create a fantastic, hysterical, bizarre and often moving musical extravaganza, complete with the trio's improvisations.
Lilith, the adult, alternate Jewish story of creation is transformed into a magical folk opera by Veretski Pass in collaboration with the San Francisco Choral Artists. A group of virtuosic multi-instrumentalists, Veretski Pass brings together Jewish and non-Jewish sounds from across Europe.
The extraordinary and often bizarre score to Lilith, composed by award-winning composer, Josh Horowitz, features both choral and instrumental ensembles as well as Heather Klein (Lilith), Anthony Russell (Adam), and Michael Wex (narrator).
The edgy and humorous libretto draws on texts gleaned from Jewish superstitions, omens, dreams, and curses. San Francisco Choral Artists, a chamber ensemble of 24 singers, is widely recognized as one of the finest choral ensembles on the West Coast. The production is directed by Magen Solomon, artistic director of the Choral Artists.

Depuis le XVIe siècle, les danses sont présentes lors des festivités et mariages juifs d’Europe de l’Est. La plupart d’entre elles sont destinées à honorer les invités de marque. Du freylekhs à la patshtants, en passant par la bulgar et les horas roumaines, venez les découvrir, ainsi que la musique klezmer qui les accompagne, les codes sociaux et la culture qui s’y rattachent. Les danseurs se communiquent leur énergie au long de ces danses lentes ou pleines d’allant, mélancoliques ou joyeuses. Seul compte le plaisir d’être ensemble et de vibrer au son de la musique klezmer.
Ouvert à tous, hommes et femmes, sans distinction d’âge ni de niveau.
Alexis Kune (pour la danse), Marthe Desrosières dirigeant les Klezmorimlekh (pour la musique), font découvrir cet univers magique. Le freylekh, la patshtants et le sher, etc. n’auront plus de secret pour les participants qui découvriront le plaisir de danser ensemble.

”Yiddish in Swing” Concert de chants yiddish et de musique klezmer avec Hotegezugt :
Yael Miller (chant), Michel Borzykowski (saxophones), Bianca Favez (violon) et Sylvie Bossi (accordéon).
A la fin du 19ème siècle et au début du 20ème, fuyant les conditions économiques désastreuses, les restrictions politiques, les brimades et autres pogroms, pas moins de 2 millions de Juifs ont quitté leur shtetl d’Europe de l’Est et ont franchi l'océan pour chercher la goldene medine: l'Eldorado américain. Et avec eux, de nombreux musiciens : Abe Schwartz Harry Kandel, Shloymke Beckerman, Naftule Brandwein, Dave Tarras… pour n'en citer que quelques-uns (mais non des moindres !) de la première génération.
Confrontés à la musique afro-américaine, aux marching bands et au formidable bouillonnement musical de l'époque, ces musiciens vont remodeler leurs mélodies, leurs interprétations et leurs rythmes jusqu'à créer un nouveau style, aux confins du klezmer, du blues et du jazz.
Portés par les radios -une douzaine de stations rien qu'à New York !- et par l'industrie, toute nouvelle mais en plein essor, du disque, le swing yiddish a connu une popularité énorme auprès de la majorité des Juifs d'Amérique.
Et comment ne pas citer George Gershwin, Benny Goodman, les Barry Sisters, autant de phares qui ont laissé leur empreinte indélébile dans l'éventail des musiques juives !
Et c'est ce répertoire, à la fois swingant, nostalgique et joyeux, que nous vous présentons, dans une veine profondément traditionnelle, mais interprété d'une façon originale, toujours avec une touche de spiritualité et d'humour profondément juifs… et pour votre plus grand plaisir!

8:45PM Sandaraa
Merita Halili is one of Albania’s top performers, renowned for her stunning voice, prodigious range and exquisite vocal technique. Raif Hyseni, originally from the Republic of Kosova (which recently declared its independence from the Serbia after 100 years), leads the most sought-after Albanian music ensemble in the United States. Together their performances offer masterful interpretations of instrumentals and urban folk songs from both Albania and the Republic of Kosovo. Recent performance highlights include engagements at The Kennedy Center, The Lied Center of Kansas, New York’s Lincoln Center, and London’s famed Barbican Cantre.
Sandaraa
Lahore meets Brooklyn where the Hudson flows down from Himalayan headwaters. A magical world of global sounds comes alive when superstar Pakistani vocalist Zeb Bangash joins forces with a retinue of leading Brooklyn musicians led by clarinetist/composer Michael Winograd to unlock the secrets of Pakistan’s traditional musics – a culturally diverse region conjuring cosmopolitan Silk Road cities, ecstatic mystics, Dravidian settlements lost to the sands of time, as well as the contemporary complexities of post-colonial nationhood. SANDARAA explores a vast repertoire of South Asian musical traditions while blending it with the sounds and sensibilities of Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Brooklyn!

Three new works from 2013-2014 LABA Fellows explore what happens when mom decides to take matters into her own hands.
MUSIC: “Seduction in Eynaim: A Maternal Song Cycle” by Alicia Svigals
Klezmer violinist Svigals weaves together original settings of poetry and Biblical texts in Yiddish, Hebrew and English to create a musical work that speaks of fertility, fear and longing; and the double-edged helix of inheritance across generations of women. With Svigals on violin and vocals and virtuoso William Schimmel on accordion.
THEATER: “Mrs Klein” directed by Elinor Renfield (Staged Reading of an Excerpt)
Broadway’s Renfield will direct Nicholas Wright's 1988 play based on the life of the brilliant and controversial psychoanalyst Melanie Klein. The play looks at the disagreement between Klein, a renown explorer of the infant psyche, and her daughter, also a psychoanalyst, on how best to raise children. Many boundaries are crossed. Featuring Robin Leslie Brown, Margo White and Elinore Handley.
ART: “Mother Tongue” by Yael Kanarek
Boundary-busting media artist Kanarek will present a collection of language-based fine jewelry inspired by mother-themed texts in Hebrew, Yiddish and Aramaic. The jewels are created in an original typeface she designed for this collection.
LECTURE: “Tamar”
Rabbi Shira Koch Epstein will discuss the story of Tamar, who made herself a harlot in order to become a mother. A look at what happens when mothers make themselves the protagonists of their own stories.

Tavche Gravche
Thu, May 22, 7pm
Drom
85 Ave A,
NYC
Hailing from New York City's bustling streets, Tavche Gravche brings forth a fresh take on traditional Balkan tunes, as well as evocative originals by the group's members. Macedonian-born and Juilliard educated, clarinetist Vasko Dukovski is a concert performer dedicated to breathing new life into the music of his roots. Steeped in both jazz and flamenco, Israeli-born guitarist Dan Nadel provides the fiery textural and harmonic palette for the band's music. Jazz bassist Daniel Ori, also from Israel, is the quartet's founder, and his luxurious sound is its foundation. Master Macedonian percussionist Aleksander Petrov graces the stage with his magic and frees the entire band to go beyond their unique blend of sounds, cultures, rhythms, colors, and become an all-encompassing adventure for the listeners and themselves. TavChe GravChe blends haunting Macedonian and Mediterranean melodies in a dynamic improvisational atmosphere, maintaining the explosive dance-able rhythms and energy of the Balkan music. While only working together a short time, the quartet has already created an impressive itinerary of NYC performances, including a center stage concert at the city's 2013 annual Balkan Festival.
