As you may know, the Dakota Bar & Grill has moved to downtown Minneapolis at 10th & Nicollet, just a few blocks from the Convention Center. Klezmerica will be celebrating the move by performing at the new Dakota this Thursday evening, November 6, from 8:30 PM until 12:30. There will be a $10 cover. For more information, people can phone (612) 332-1010.
The Dakota is one of America's foremost jazz venues and one of the Twin Cities' finest restaurants. Virtually every major jazz musician has performed there. Roy Hargrove called it "the most comfortable jazz club in the world for musicians and audiences."
As it happens, the national Reform Jewish movement will be holding its Biennial Convention just a few blocks away, at the Minneapolis Convention Center Wednesday, November 5 through Sunday morning, November 9. Thousands from across the U.S. and beyond will be attending. Klezmerica has been selected to open the convention with a brief "Welcome to Minnesota" performance Wednesday night, November 5, in the Convention Center. It may be that someone you know who is here for the convention might also want to hear more of our music after their convention participation ends on Thursday evening.

Alex Lubet writes to the Jewish-music list:
If you're anywhere near the Twin Cities, you may want to check out my
next gig 12/3, 730 pm, at Beth Jacob Synagogue in Mendota Heights, a
performance with my long-time collaborator, dancer/choreographer Judith
Brin-Ingber. I'll be doing my Ani Maamin and Maoz Tzur for guitar and
Shabbat Ha-Malkah for bass. Together, J and I will perform Hannelore
and our newest collaboration, Footnotes. Judith will perform Bari
Simone and Sarah, the latter featuring vocalist Amy (Yes, she's Jewish!)
Olson.
Most of the program is a tribute to Jewish women, a project-in-progress
that will eventually include exclusively original repertoire devoted to
our moms, sisters, partners, and female friends. Proud to say that the
dude of the duo came up with the idea (while watching a Seinfeld rerun
and getting tired of the way Jews are depicted in American pop culture
exclusively as something less than we are, a position I think hurts
women even more than men).

For most of its 33 years of existence the St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music has sponsored an annual Chanukah choral festival. This year we begin a new tradition in collaboration with the suburban University City Symphony Orchestra - a "Judas Maccabeus" sing-along. Taking place (this year) at United Hebrew Congregation on December 20th, the combined choirs of most of the city's Jewish congregations will collaborate with the Orchestra, directed by Dr. Leon Burke, III, with solos sung by members of the Circle. Audience members may purchase a score for $18 which serves as a ticket for this and all future years, and then may sing along with the on-bima choir.
In researching the program notes I've become further surprised at the story of Handel's writing such a Jewish oratorio. "Messiah" notwithstanding, the vast majority of Handel's oratorios are on subjects from Tanach - "Old Testament" to him - "Deborah," "Israel in Egypt," "Joseph and His Brethren," etc. And "Judas Maccabeus" goes even one step further by NOT being of O.T. provenance, and hence lacking even that relevance for Christians. Apparently there was a political metaphor - a recently suppressed revolution. But I prefer the apocryphal story that Handel was advised to compose for royalty and the aristocracy, but wanted to see seats filled in the theater, and so wrote for the Jews.

The St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music will present its annual Cantor Edward R. Fogel Memorial Concert this coming Sunday afternoon, March 28th at 4:00 pm at B'nai El Congregation, 11411 North Outer Forty Drive in suburban St. Louis. Entitled "A Night at the Opera," it will contain solos and ensemble pieces from opera, operetta and even the movie of the same name, performed by the cantors, soloists, keyboard players and other musicians from most of the city's Reform and Conservative congregations.
Ed Fogel (zl) was hazzan of Congregation Shaare Emeth in St. Louis for many years. Born in Uzbekistan, he grew up in Toronto, and as a teenager hitch-hiked to New York to attend Hebrew Union College. He was hired by Congregation Shaare Emeth after graduation and ordination, and later earned a master's degree from St. Louis Conservatory of Music. He was a founding member of the St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music, and a past president of both the Circle and the American Conference of Cantors. In his long career he proved a versatile cantor, accompanying himself on the guitar, known as a comedian and as a teacher, he concertized and recorded extensively. He survived cancer in 1998, but passed away in 2002. Soon afterward the St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music voted to dedicate its annual spring concert to his memory.

will present their original score to "Pass the Gravy," enlivening our rediscovery of the agile and inspired silent comedian Max Davidson. Davidson was extremely popular in the late 1920s when he starred in a number of shorts at the Hal Roach Studios, playing the roles of Jewish tailors, pawnbrokers, and junk dealers. Nearly forgotten today, Davidson infused American slapstick with agile antics and a unique brand of Eastern European moxie. The original score, which combines early Yiddish swing, klezmer, vintage "photoplay" music, and popular melodies, may be the first Yiddish-themed work in the emerging trend of accompanying silent films.

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).

Why is Wex so funny? I blame it on Alberta, or at least the Calgary Hebrew Day School, which we both attended (me for just a few early years, insufficient for an adequate humor education, in the early 1960s). [ari]

Multilingual Jewish Literature and Multicultural America
Jewish American literature has long been, and continues to be, a multilingual
enterprise, with significant work published in at least six languages
(English, Spanish, Ladino, German, Yiddish, and Hebrew). The literary study of
Jewish American writing, however, has been overwhelmingly defined by an
English-only approach unable to encompass its diversity, or to locate that diversity in
the multilingual and multicultural landscape of American literature as a whole.
The conference, “Multilingual Jewish Literature and Multicultural America,”
will survey the field of multilingual Jewish American literature and the new
methodological approaches that are needed, we believe, to sustain and
reinvigorate the academic study of this literature.

Maxwell St. Klezmer @ Summerdance
The 12th annual Chicago SummerDance series is organized and presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. This summer the Spirit of Music Garden in Grant Park becomes a unique outdoor urban dance space – the largest of its kind in the United States.
The Maxwell Street Klezmer Band, founded in 1983, brings a kaleidoscope of colors and moods and an old-fashioned spirit of fun to their performance of traditional Jewish music. The combination of dance music, folk songs, theatre medleys and jazzy Yiddish pop music from the 1930's to the 1950's creates a rich, multi-dimensional experience of the lost world of Eastern European Jewish culture, combined with vignettes of America as seen through immigrant eyes. Audiences of all backgrounds are delighted by Maxwell Street's high-energy performances that glow with warmth and humor.
Dance lessons by Steve Weintraub begin at 6pm, Music at 7pm. FREE!

Blurring boundaries and connecting sounds, syncopations, rhythms and roots is central to the mission inspiring the Guy Mendilow Band’s latest CD, “Skyland.” Israeli peace songs and Sephardi canticas meet Bahian street beats and blues. Drawing from a life lived in Israel, South Africa and Brazil, where musical collaboration cuts through ancient conflict, Israeli born musician Guy Mendilow is sowing the seeds of peace with music.
It’s no surprise, then, that the Guy Mendilow Band includes world class musicians from Israel, Argentina, Japan and the United States. Or to find the group now partnering with international peacemaking organizations, such as Seeds of Peace, whose work with Palestinian and Israeli youth and adult educators helps forge the personal relationships so critical to communication and reconciliation.

On October 24, Joseph Vass is premiering eight compositions based on the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Artist Robyn Awend has created visual art to work along with the music. Joe has scripted a narration intended to explain, enlighten and entertain.
The Alef Bet Ensemble unites ten of Minnesota’s finest and most versatile musicians:
Bass - Chris Bates
Violin - Carolyn Boulay
Drums - Jay Epstein
Trumpet - Dave Jensen
Cello - Michelle Kinney
Woodwinds - Dale Mendenhall
Viola - Michael Rieff
Violin - Gary Schulte
Woodwinds - Bruce Thornton
Piano - Joseph Vass
Judging by contemporary audience reaction and subsequent history, those who came to previous Vass premieres at the St. Paul JCC, including Gershwin The Klezmer and Klezmerica, were delighted they came. We’re aiming for the same with Alef-Bet: Music Of The Hebrew Letters.
The world premiere of Alef-Bet: Music of the Hebrew Letters is scheduled for Saturday night, October 24, 7:30 PM, at the Jewish Community Center of St. Paul, 1375 St Paul Avenue in Saint Paul. More information is available at (651) 698-0751 or at www.stpauljcc.org/jewish/arts_events.lasso

DVARIM (WORDS)
All Ages Event
Join Zeek and KFAR for an evening of poetry and performance featuring Kevin Coval, Yuri lane, Menachem Cohen, Maya Escobar and Dina Elenbogen.
Dvarim is an exploration of written, spoken and performed words by artists examining the contemporary Jewish experience.
Words carry significant meaning in Jewish life. The universe was created by utterances, as were the laws received at Sinai. For millenia, Jews have read, debated, written and treasured words. We are, in short, people of books. In partnership with Zeek: The journal of Jewish Culture and Thought, KFAR Jewish Artds Center is please to present Dvarim (hebrew for words)- a series of readings and talks on contemporary Jewish literature, poetry, prose and fiction.
Join us for this first in a series of evenings of spoken, written and performed words.

Jewish music is exploding. Bands and labels and venues are multiplying. Rock. Hip Hop. Reggae. Punk. Klezmer. Sephardic. Choral. Chamber Music. Jazz. Chassidic-Pop. Breslov Techno. Niggunim. Pop-liturgical. Bible-gum. Beat Box. Boy Choirs. House. Socialist Yiddish Gothic. Indie. Weird hybrids. Avant-Garde experiments. Earnest devotion. But we're not immigrants clustered in tenements, in range of a local Yiddish radio station anymore. A revolution is happening but we're scattered across a big nation with no common media to connect us....except the net. Will it be enough?
This Extended Play version of Jack's recent 5 minute Ignite Ann Arbor talk will be loaded with more music, a road-map of the contemporary Jewish Music scene, a case study in social-networking Jewish Music, and the greatest Jewish song you've never heard.
Jack Zaientz is the author of Teruah, a popular Jewish music blog. Jack has been interviewed regarding Jewish music by the Israeli National Radio and was recently ranked by the Jewish Telegraphy Agency as the #36 most influential Jewish twitter.

Armed with his Akai MPC, heritage and love for genre-bending music, Socalled, aka Josh Dolgin, is a Yiddish rapping, accordion wielding hip-hop maestro. Heralded by Klezmer and hip hop musicians alike, he builds Jewish music from the bottom-up. Previous albums Hiphopkhasene (Piranha), Socalled Seder (2005, JDUB), Ghettoblaster (2007, JDUB ) and now Sleepover (2011, Dare to Care) reached into the past to mine an amalgamation of traditional and contemporary influences.

Vagabond Opera
October 23, 2011, 7pm
Skokie Theatre
7924 N. LIncoln Ave.
Skokie, IL
Bohemian Cabaret ensemble Vagabond Opera is described by the Washington Post as "A band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic."
The group delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer and vigorous originals meet a world of riverboat gambling queens, Turkish belly dancers, and the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich. Weaving elements of Kurt Weil, Duke Ellington and Edith Piaf with absurdist flair, theatrics and an old world mood, Vagabond Opera presents the new wave of opera–lusty voices singing in 13 languages and presenting a cabaret of rich musical phrasing, sparkling lyrics and indomitable stage presence, all played with exuberance, skill and a gritty Vagabond edge. This is Opera liberated and reinvented for everyone!

">Steven Greenman in collaboration with the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble
Ethnomusicologist David Badagnani has created a fantastic ensemble dedicated to performing traditional Chinese folk music showing once again the bountiful richness and diversity of Cleveland's cultural and ethnic communities. The ensemble has graciously invited me for the finale to create a fusion of both traditional Chinese and traditional East European Jewish folk music.
The Melodies of Mah Jongg
7 p.m., Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage
2929 Richmond Road
Beachwood, Ohio
$14 for the general public and $12 for Maltz Museum members; order in advance and save $2. Call (216) 593-0595 to order tickets.
Join the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble (featuring vocalist Xue "Snow" Yu of Qingdao, Shandong, China) for an intimate evening of graceful and exotic music inspired by the fanciful images seen on mah jongg tiles--the four seasons, flowers, winds, and dragons--played on traditional Chinese instruments.
As an added attraction, interspersed between the pieces will be selected readings (in both Chinese and English) of evocative poems from China's classical antiquity, as well as showings of traditional watercolor flower paintings.
For a memorable finale, the internationally renowned, Cleveland-based klezmer violinist Steven Greenman will join the ensemble for a cross-cultural performance of a Jewish favorite, recreating the kind of musical interaction that could have taken place between Jewish and Chinese musicians in the Lower Manhattan of the early 20th century.
This program is held in conjunction with the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage's showing of the "Project Mah Jongg" exhibition, which documents how this Chinese game of chance became a tradition among Jewish Americans beginning in the 1920s. The traveling exhibition, which was developed in New York City in 2010, opened at the Maltz Museum in January 2012.

On April 3rd - just days before spring religious festivals - The Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, with the endorsement of the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council, is proud to present the Yuval Ron Ensemble. Formed in 1999, this group consists of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian artists who by their performances endeavor to nurture peace and fellowship between historically opposing people in the middle east.
The result is a stunning feast for the eyes and the ears, as musicians combining sacred musical traditions and songs of the middle east play in concert behind Sufi devotional dancing performed by a whirling dervish. Following their performance, the group will receive questions from the audience and speak about their mission, their passion, and their experiences.
Presented by: the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City (JCC)

Steven Greenman in collaboration with the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble
This Saturday May 12th, 2012 at 2:00pm I'll be performing once again with the Cleveland Chinese Music Ensemble at the Cleveland Public Library. Ensemble founder and ethnomusicologist David Badagnani has created a fantastic ensemble dedicated to performing traditional Chinese folk music showing once again the bountiful richness and diversity of Cleveland's cultural and ethnic communities. For my participation, I will be performing two pieces from the "classical" Chinese repertoire: 1) excerpts from the beautiful "Butterfly Lover's Violin Concerto" with the brilliant pianist Shuai Wang and "Xin Chun Le" together with David playing the sheng (Chinese mouth organ). I hope you can attend this wonderful event!

The Sound Salon will conclude with Sherry Mayrent (clarinet) and Henry Sapoznik (tenor guitar) playing selections learned from recordings in the collection.
The event is free and open to the public, but we do ask that you register so we know how many people to expect. Please take a moment and register at eepurl.com/bttx_9.
