Tix: www.clubpassim.org
Shirim performs the Klezmer Nutcracker and other Hanukah fun at Club Passim. Shirim's legendary klezmer rendition of the Nutcracker is a brilliant cross-cultural achievement which is fun, serious and rocking all at once. They distill the classic ballet suite down to its folky essence and will change the way you think of Tchaikovsky forever. Emphasizing the Eastern European elements of the score with witty intelligence and playful irreverence, Shirim redefines the modern melting pot of "world music." Its overwhelming virtuosity in both the performance and musical conception harken back to the manic genius of Spike Jones' classical parodies and the artistry of Ellington's classic transcription.

Join us for a special Hanukkah concert and dance party with internationally renowned klezmer musician and composer Pete Rushefsky and his Ternovka Ensemble. In addition, Branford Folk's own renowned dance leader (and president) Willa Horowitz will teach dance steps at the end of the concert, turning the event into a rollicking party.
Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl/hammered dulcimer) and Jake Shulman-Ment (violin) are leading contemporary interpreters of the klezmer fidl and tsimbl (violin and hammered dulcimer) tradition. For hundreds of years, fidl and tsimbl, played in a duo format or as part of a small ensemble, formed the melodic and harmonic underpinning of Jewish music in Eastern Europe. With klezmer's transplantation to America, clarinets and jazz-influenced brass bands came to dominate the soundscape. However, since the 1970s there has been a growing revival of klezmer's string-based roots, and today musicians internationally are once again using fidl and tsimbl as a jumping-off point in the creation of contemporary Jewish music. Tonight they are joined by special guest Madeline Solomon on flute and Yiddish vocals.
Pete Rushefsky is a leading revivalist of the tsimbl (cimbalom), the traditional hammered dulcimer of klezmer music. He is one of a handful of contemporary klezmer musicians to use field and archival research in recreating a performance style for the instrument. Rushefsky is currently touring with violinist Itzhak Perlman in a program/recording titled "Eternal Echoes: Songs and Dances for the Soul," featuring the leading cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot, as well as klezmer revival legends Hankus Netsky and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. Additionally, Rushefsky serves as Executive Director of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance in New York City, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and nurturing the performing arts traditions of the city's immigrant communities. A popular instructor at camps internationally such as KlezKamp, KlezKanada and Yiddish Summer Weimar, Rushefsky is also the author of a pioneering instructional book on adapting the American 5-string banjo for klezmer. He is a well-known lecturer on klezmer and other traditional musics and has a number of published articles to his credit.
Jake Shulman-Ment is recognized internationally as both one of the leading performers of the klezmer violin tradition, as well as an innovator for his work in exploring the deep connection between klezmer and Moldavian muzica lautareasca (Romani/Gypsy music). In New York, Shulman-Ment worked with Center for Traditional Music and Dance to found the Tantshoyz (dance house) program. Modeled after the Hungarian tanchaz movement, the Tantshoyz works to revitalize the Yiddish dance tradition, and has been replicated in a number of cities in North America and Europe. Shulman-Ment was featured at the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival as part of the An-sky Ensemble, and his critically-acclaimed album "A Redl (A Wheel)" was released on the German Oriente label.
Our special guest, Madeline Solomon, is a noted klezmer flute player and Yiddish vocalist performing internationally. Hailing from Manchester, England, she has toured the continent as part of the Solomon Sisters, a Yiddish cabaret act that marries British wit with the swinging harmonies of the Barry Sisters.
Solomon has performed at a number of leading festivals and concert halls in the UK, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Glastonbury Festival, Royal Albert Hall, and the Manchester Royal Exchange, and major venues around the continent.

Klezwoods
Tuesday, December 16, 9:30pm - 11:30pm
Atwood's Tavern
877 Cambridge St,
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141
Tix: www.brownpapertickets.com
Atwoods Tavern, one of Cambridge's favorite watering holes, presents the 8th annual Klezwoods Klezmer Christmas show.
In a spectacle of sound, the event explores Klezmer and Eastern-European inspired original ensemble compositions and new takes on traditional music from Eastern Europe. Small ensembles switch it up with eclectic instrument arrangements, highlighting each musician's improvisational and melodic stylings. Deemed "An Utterly Unique Circus of Sound" by Boston Metro, Boston-based, 10-member ensemble Klezwoods is an amalgam of strings, horns, and percussion that melds the spirit of traditional klezmer and balkan music with modern grooves, improvisation and east coast attitude. Their performance will feature an entirely new set of original Klezwoods compositions that will be featured in their upcoming album, "Toy Monkey"
Come for the music, good food and drink in the place that the ensemble got their start. Two sets of music, fun times will be had by all.

Jewish Nightlife: An Evening of Celebration with Poetry and Music | Featuring UC Berkeley Students and the Piyut Bay Area Project directed by Yair Harel
Thursday, December 18, 5:00pm - 8:30pm
The Magnes
2121 Allston Way,
Berkeley, California 94704
Jewish Nightlife is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the nexus between the ritual performance of Jewish texts and social changes across Jewish history, including Hebrew poetry, music, and synagogue liturgy in Europe, in North Africa, the Middle East, and present-day Israel.
During the Fall Semester 2014, the project involved research, teaching, performance, and community participation. Thirty UC Berkeley undergraduate students participated in a new UC Berkeley course, team-taught by dr. Francesco Spagnolo, Curator of The Magnes, and Yair Harel, Schusterman Visiting Artist. During the same period, a group comprised of graduate students, artists, educators and clergy from the San Francisco Bay Area met weekly at The Magnes, researching and performing piyyutim, or Hebrew liturgical poems.
To celebrate the completion of this project, the program will include solo and ensemble performances by UC Berkeley students (5-6 pm) and participants in the Piyut Bay Area Project (7-8 pm), led by Yair Harel.
The program is free and open to the public.

"A wonderfully inventive take on the usual seasonal fare." Time Out ****
This story begins in a tiny vilage, more or less covered in snow, where a Hanukhah latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming. The latke jumps from the boiling pan and races through the wintery village, deep in the throes of festive preparations. Lost amongst the snowy landscape and Christmas lights, will our Latke ever find where it belongs?
This adaptation of the absurdly funny Lemony Snicket story is vividly brought to life in Tall Stories' unique physical style, with live music, lots of laughs and a screaming potato pancake.
"Deliciously directed.... they create an air of adorable silliness, a good-natured knowingness that tips delicately into pastiche." The Telegraph ****
"A gem of a children's show." Jewish Chronicle *****
