EXTENDED BODY:
Critically-acclaimed and award-winning, Torontoâs Beyond the Pale is one of the most exciting ensembles in the Canadian folk, roots, and world music scenes. Their explosive acoustic sound is inspired by a wide range of cross-cultural influences, from European folk styles (Klezmer, Balkan, Gypsy, Romanian) to contemporary and North American styles (bluegrass, jazz, reggae, funk, and more). They are known for their instrumental virtuosity, infectious energy, and unique repertoire featuring both original compositions and inventive arrangements of traditional material. With spectacularly dynamic and exuberant live performances, Beyond the Paleâs unique genre-defying sound has delighted audiences of all kinds at major music festivals, concert theatres, and clubs across Canada and the US.
Beyond the Pale's most recent CD release "Consensus", an exciting and wideranging live set of all-new material, has met wide critical acclaim and received honours from the 2005 Canadian Folk Music Awards, 2005 Toronto Independent Music Awards, and Ontario Council of Folk Festivals 2005 songwriting Competition. Their debut CD "Routes" also received rave reviews from across the globe and was nominated "Best World Music Album" at the 2002 Canadian Independent Music Awards. Their recordings are heard regularly on folk and world music radio across North America and they have been featured in a number of national live concert broadcasts on CBC Radio. The group is now beginning work on their third CD, to be released fall 2006.
Beyond the Pale features Eric Stein (mandolin), Martin van de Ven (clarinet), Milos Popovic (accordion), Bogdan Djukic (violin, percussion), Aleksandar Gajic (violin), and Bret Higgins (bass).

Night Songs from a Neighboring Village

Ukrainian and East European Jewish Traditions
Friday, February 12th, 7pm
The Ukrainian Museum
222 East 6th Street, NYC
(between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)
"Night Songs from a Neighboring Village" brings together two musical traditions that have existed side by side in Ukraine for centuries, influencing each other profoundly. Join us for an evening of East European Jewish and Ukrainian music and song, presented comparatively by two of the finest performers in both traditions: internationally acclaimed Yiddish singer and klezmer multi-instrumentalist/composer Michael Alpert and internationally renowned singer/composer/master of the Ukrainian bandura, Julian Kytasty.
The program draws from the rich legacy of Ukrainian folk and liturgical song, the virtuosic art of the bandura (Ukrainian harp-lute), klezmer music, Yiddish folksong, and the music of the Hasidim. A first version of "Night Songs" was created to accompany the "Tracing An-sky" exhibition at New York's Jewish Museum. Since 1993, Alpert and Kytasty have performed the program internationally as a duo, in the company of other musicians, and in an ensemble version with Brave Old World and Paris-to-Kyiv.
Admission $15 for adults, with discounts for seniors/members.
For reservations call 212-228-0110. Reception to follow.

CONCERT / CONCERT
Avec Lloica Czackis et Sorin Gheraliu
with Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu
Dimanche 22 mai Ă 19h00 / Sunday, May 22, 7.00 p.m.
Ă la Maison de la culture yiddish - BibliothĂšque Medem
29, rue du ChĂąteau d'Eau 75010 Paris
La musique du peuple juif reïŹĂšte son mouvement perpĂ©tuel dâun pays Ă un autre, dâune culture Ă une autre, des langues, des expressions diverses...
La rencontre de Lloica Czackis et de Sorin Gheraliu est celle dâune chanteuse de la chanson yiddish, hĂ©ritiĂšre dâune vie nomade dans sept pays, et dâun cymbaliste tsigane de la Roumanie issu dâune famille de grands musiciens de Balkans.
Cette rencontre est Ă©galement un lointain souvenir de klezmorim juifs et tsiganes qui jouaient ensemble pour les autres, mais aussi pour eux-mĂȘmes, dans un monde de lâEurope de lâest qui nâexiste plus.
Leur langue commune est la musique. Leur musique parle plusieurs langues.
Depuis cinq ans, Lloica, accompagnée parfois de Sorin, anime musicalement les voyages culturels juifs organisés par Valiske.
Si vous avez participĂ© Ă leurs voyages, venez au spectacle revivre l âĂ©motion musicale dâautrefois, si vous nâavez pas voyagĂ© avec Valiske, venez pour un dĂ©part musical vers lâEspagne mĂ©diĂ©vale, la Pampa juive, les cabarets de Varsovie et New York des annĂ©es 1920, vers la Russie... Leur programme inclut de magniïŹques poĂšmes chantĂ©s en judĂ©o-espagnol, de chansons pour des enfants de colonies agricoles juives en Argentine, du jazz newyorkais en yiddish, de chansons dâamour en hĂ©breu, de la musique classique en français...
The music of the Jewish people reflects a perpetual motion from one country to another, one culture to another, various languages and modes of expression.
The stage shared by Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu is an encounter between a singer of Yiddish songs, with a nomad's heritage through seven countries and a Gypsy cymbalist from Rumania, descendent of a family of great Balkan musicians. It also recalls the distant memory of Jewish and Gypsy klezmorim who once played together in a world of Eastern Europe that no longer exists.
Their common language is music. Their music speaks various languages.
For the past five years, Lloica, sometimes accompanied by Sorin, have provided musical entertainment for Jewish cultural tours organized by Valiske.
If you have taken part in their trips, come and relive the past emotion. If you have never traveled with Valiske, come and discover a musical journey through medieval Spain, the Jewish pampas, the cabarets of Warsaw and New York in the 1920s, to far off Russia... Their program includes poems sung in Judeo-Spanish ("Ladino"), children's songs from the Jewish farming colonies of Argentina, New York jazz in Yiddish, as well as love songs in French and Hebrew.

Théùtre Cité-Bleue - 46 av. Miremont
GenĂšve (Suisse)
Des Juifs Ă©taient vivaient dĂ©jĂ dans le midi de la France Ă lâĂ©poque romaine. Au 17Ăšme siĂšcle, ils furent regroupĂ©s dans quatre villes: Avignon, Carpentras, L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue et Cavaillon.
LimitĂ©s dans leurs droits et soumis aux violences populaires, ils bĂ©nĂ©ficiaient de la protection du Pape car la prĂ©sence dans un monde chrĂ©tien d'un peuple juif misĂ©rable Ă©tait la preuve de sa culpabilitĂ© de dĂ©icide et de la vĂ©racitĂ© des enseignements de l'Ăglise.
Ces «Juifs du Pape» Ă©taient ouverts aux influences musicales de leur pays: Leur liturgie fleure la fĂȘte champĂȘtre et leurs chansons -en hĂ©breu, en langue judĂ©o-provençale ou âfarciesâ- sont imprĂ©gnĂ©es de la poĂ©sie des fĂ©libres. Mais l'Orient rĂ©sonne aussi dans la mĂ©moire de ces Juifs provençaux et on peut entendre l'oud ou le bendir derriĂšre galoubets et tambourins!
C'est grùce aux notations de Jules Salomon et de Mardochée Crémieux et à l'ensemble Nekouda que ces airs traditionnels nous reviennent, pour le plus grand plaisir de nos oreilles.

Guy Mendilow Ensemble and Epichorus
Sun, 10 Mar 2013, 7:00pm
Temple Emunah
9 Piper Rd.
Lexington, MA
BJMF proudly presents two groups committed to interfaith cooperation, ethnic diversity, and the preservation of Jewish musical traditions.
The Guy Mendilow Ensemble will perform Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom, new interpretations and arrangements of Ladino folk songs. Led by Guy, an Israeli citizen who has also lived in South Africa, the group features Irish, Japanese, Israeli, and Palestinian musicians whose very diversity adds great richness to the music and the concert-going experience.
The Epichorus, featuring Zach Freeman, a New York rabbinical student, and Alsara, a Sudanese Muslim singer, is a multi-ethnic band performing Hebrew and African love songs "to create music that transcends the boundaries of culture or religion." Their story and sound is nothing less than magical and has been featured in the Huffington Post and Tablet Magazine.
Tickets: $20 in advance, $25 at the door, students $15. Purchase tickets here.
For your artistic inspiration, and maybe a little shopping, too, an Israeli art show and sale taking place at the temple will remain open that evening.
Presented in partnership with Lexington's Temple Emunah and Temple Isaiah.
