"Smyrneïka and Rebetika Vocal Workshop", Brooklyn, NY, 15 Sep 2013

Smyrneïka and Rebetika Vocal Workshop
Asia Minor Urban Greek Music of the 20s, 30s, and 40s
"The Blues of Greece"

Sunday, Sep 15, 2013, 2-4pm
Jalopy Theatre and School of Music
315 Columbia Street
Brooklyn, New York

This workshop will teach students to sing the magnificent vocal repertoire of early 20th Century Asia Minor Greek artists with authenticity and ease. By learning how to carefully listen to excellent recordings and how to then access one's memory of these songs, and by learning simple tricks to make singing them effortless, students will easily learn to sing an involved repertoire with comfort, clarity, and control. Students will begin to master the art of singing intricate ornamentation, complex rhythms, and microtonal scales, in a process that is fluid and fun. Students will also learn tricks for seamlessly switching between vocal placements without detection, and for producing optimal tone. We will also learn how to phrase songs so as to provide for maximum depth of expression, artistry, and musicality.

The songs, which follow the complex system of microtonal scales known as makam in Turkish or dhromi (roads) in Greek, have simply gorgeous melodies, and are lush with embellishment. The 1920s -1930s texts leave no stone unturned, and deal with scorching love, unbearable pain, cocaine, hashish, and heroine, lesbianism, monkey serum fountain of youth injections, harem girls, Hawaiian guitar music, and anything else one may fancy.
Though the repertoire is challenging and instruction is detailed and specific, the workshop will be taught in a supportive, comfortable and relaxed setting, and is always fun. The workshop is open to everyone and no prior experience with the reperotire or language is necessary.

Admission: $30

718-395-3214 www.jalopy.biz/

"The Sarajevo Haggadah @ BJMF, Watertown, MA, 26 Mar 2014

The Sarajevo Haggadah: A multi media performance by Merima Ključo with a special appearance by author Geraldine Brooks

Wed, Mar 26, 8:00pm
Arsenal Center for the Arts
321 Arsenal St.
Watertown, MA

The Sarajevo Haggadah: Music of the Book, composed by Bosnian-born accordionist Merima Ključo, traces the incredible journey of this most treasured manuscript that was smuggled from Spain during the Inquisition, hidden from Nazis during WWII by a Muslim librarian, saved from the ravages of the 1992 Bosnian War, and eventually restored to the National Museum in Sarajevo. Inspired by the musical traditions of Spain, Italy, Austria, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ključo collaborates with pianist Seth Knopp and artist Bart Woodstrup to create a multimedia performance exploring the Sarajevo Haggadah as a symbol of diaspora and return. The work is the 2013-2014 New Jewish Culture Network’s commission and touring project. Produced in partnership with New Center LIVE, stay for a post-concert discussion with Merima and Geraldine Brooks, author of People of The Book, the historical novel that inspired this production.

Reserved Seat Tickets: $36 (includes post-event reception), $25, Students: $15 are available by clicking here.

Women's Voices around the world, Brooklyn, NY, 24 Apr, 2014

Women's Voices Around The World: Eva Salina, Lisa Gutkin, and Dolunay

Thurs, Apr 24, 8:30pm
Jalopy Theatre and School of Music
315 Columbia Street,
Brooklyn, New York

Join us for a fantastic evening of music with...
9:00 - Eva Salina Primack - "Eva’s rich, versatile, agile, deep and powerful voice and her enthusiastic, skillful, inspired and inspiring teaching have led her to quickly become a reknowned singer, interpreter, and teacher of Traditional Balkan Vocal music."

9:45 - Lisa Gutkin - w/ Uri Sharlin on accordion
& Rémy Yulzari, Double Bassist
As Grammy-winning violinist and song writer for The Klezmatics, Gutkin has consistently proven a masterful musician. But fans who have only witnessed her within the context of the Klezmatics have experienced just a fragment of what this multi-faceted artist is capable of producing. She might swing seamlessly from traditional Irish fiddle tunes to blues, Balkan or Appalachian sounds. Or she might put the violin down altogether, pick up a tenor guitar and sing one of her own universally resonant songs. Wherever she goes Gutkin has an uncanny way of taking the audience with her.

10:30 - Dolunay NYC - Dolunay (Turkish for “full moon”) plays the songs of the people of Turkish descent who lived across Rumeli, the southern Balkan region of the Ottoman Empire. Dolunay brings new life to the timeless songs and melodies of this region, known for its rich cultural diversity. Based in Brooklyn, the group features top-notch musicians from the NY music scene.

From the Balkans to Balochistan, NYC, 17 May, 2014

From the Balkans to Balochistan: Sandaraa & Merita Halili and The Raif Hyseni Orchestra

Saturday, May 17, 6:30pm
(le) poisson rouge
158 Bleecker St.
NYC

Multiculturalism at its finest!

6:30PM: Balkan Dance Workshop
7:00PM: Merita Halili & The Raif Hyseni Orchestra
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!

Tavche Gravche CD release, NYC, 22 May 2014

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.

Ihtimanska Sunday, December 14, 8:00pm BSOMA - Bluesfest School of Music and Art 450 Churchill Ave, Ottawa, Ontario $10 Ihtimanska is a sweet dialogue between the saxophone and accordion sharing melodies from Bulgaria and Turkey. The gentle complicity is an unusual blending of voices drawing on their musical experiences through the teaching and encounters of inspiring musicians from New York, Istanbul and beyond. The duo combination allows music to flow naturally, and allows for a sensitive personal interpretation with a touch of creativity on beautiful traditional pieces that evoke joy, sadness, love and gratitude to life.

Inspector Gadje, San Francisco, CA, 7 Feb 2015

Inspector Gadje at Kafana Balkan Saturday February 7, 2015. 155 Fell St, San Francisco 9pm. Our 12 piece band will be joined by the celebrated Macedonian/Turkish clarinet maestro Ismail Lumanovski flying in from New York to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the Bay's most bumpin' Balkan dance party. Inspector Gadje brings a big sound to the beautiful brass band music of the Balkans - inciting joy and dancing from the first downbeat. Our name is a wink to the 1980's cartoon show "Inspector Gadget," and also to the band's "gadje" (non-Romani) identity and their efforts to breaking "Gypsy" stereotypes.

On January 15 and 16th, 2016, Brooklyn's Grand Prospect Hall will again come alive with the music, song, and dance of the Balkans (and well beyond) as some 60 bands and 3000 revelers gather for the 31st annual Zlatne Uste Golden Festival. Anchored in Balkan traditions (roughly Romania to Greece, Croatia to Turkey), and venturing generously beyond (this year including Yiddish Zingeray and Michael Winograd!), the programming spans the ancient and the experimental, the oud and the synthesizer. It’s a pop-up community where young and old, the folklorist, music professional, and party animal come together in two nights of joy.

32nd Annual Zlatne Uste Golden Festival, Brooklyn, NYC, 13-14 Jan 2017

32nd Annual Zlatne Uste Golden Festival

Jan 13th & 14th, 2017
Grand Prospect Hall
263 Prospect Ave,
Brooklyn, New York 11215

Joy is the modus vivendi for this Pan-Balkan gathering, and music is the recipe, bringing the traditional, the experimental, elders, youth, foreign-born, and American-born all to feast at the same generous table. With more than 50 groups contributing their time and talents, you will find your cup of tea (as well as some feta, dolma, and spiced meat morsels). High spirits are fueled by such preeminent performers as Eleanor Reissa with Frank London’s Klezmer Brass Allstars, or Merita Halili, Raif Hyseni & Montclair State University Ensemble, while burgeoning talents shine in teen band Cocek Nation and Young Bulgarian Voices New York. Enchantment pervades the Atrium where Tenores de Aterúe, the Yale Slavic Chorus, and others immerse listeners in vocal wonderment. Brooklyn’s own beloved Balkan brass acts (Slavic Soul Party, Raya) are well represented, and of course Zlatne Uste, New York’s pioneering Balkan brass band and festival sponsors, performs both nights. A complete schedule will be posted on the website

$10 suggested donation

French violonist and singer Eleonore Biezunski has been exploring the Yiddish traditions of the old and new world for quite some time now – both as a musician and as a archivist for YIVO. For this new project, she will be joined by Lauren Brody (vocals, accordion).
Lauren Brody, a founding member of both Kapelye and Mikveh, is one of the world’s foremost experts in traditional Bulgarian music, and her singing and accordion-playing in Yiddish performances is legendary. She travels the world as a bearer of Yiddish musical tradition.
Together they will explore a repertoire of women’s Yiddish folksongs, orally transmitted to them or preserved with great care and love by folklorists such as Ruth Rubin
