After many years of singing lush Ladino melodies, Ljuba Davis finally preserves her music in a timeless album, East and West (6/12/12). The Ljuba Davis Ladino Ensemble present their songs with little tugs of musical dominance, which differs from what most would envision as the typical Judaeo-Spanish style.
Led by bouzuki master, Avram Pengas, Davis' ensemble is made up of some of New York’s top Greek, Arab, and Jewish musicians. Their lush Middle-Eastern melodies beautifully compliment Davis' joyous, yet dynamic, voice with an acoustic richness. They will be performing at DROM in New York City on June 15th, 8pm.

Sephardic Music Festival Teaser with SHI 360, BRODY & DIWON
May 24th, 10pm
Tammany Hall
152 Orchard Street New York, NY 10002
Cost $10 Advance / $12 Door
Note: This event is part of the Sephardic Music Festival Summer Teaser.
Israel’s SHI 360 is anything but your typical hip hop artist. With the credo “Don’t be afraid to think,” SHI 360 combines deft rhymes and fresh, genre-shifting beats with bold social and political messages that spread harmony and peace worldwide. His newest album, “Shalom Haters” which premiered on Vibe Magazine’s All Hip Hop, arrives on the global hip hop scene at a time when the media has been astoundingly silent in response to recent rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
We are about to get schooled while partying with one of Israel’s top rappers. This party will be the only NYC appearance from this Israeli artist who will be joined by Brody, an Israeli/American singer who bridges the worlds of soul, hip-hop, electronic and world music, fresh off his remixes of Stephen Marley, Eminem and Inna.
SHI 360 & Brody will be joined by Diwon who has been highlighted on MTV for his blend of hip hop and dancehall. Diwon will spin into the night with his signature mix of Israeli, Sephardic, Yemenite and ghetto US club remixes!

L’ARTICHAUT ORKESTRA (Toulouse)
Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir
musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).
Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).

GOLEM (New York)
Contrairement à la légende populaire, GOLEM n’est ni une espèce de Frankenstein crée par le Maguid qui défendait les juifs de Prague au XVIIe siècle, ni une créature du Seigneur des Anneaux. GOLEM, ce sont 6 musiciens doux-dingues, GYPSY PUNK KLEZMER, c’est New-Yorkais et résolument ROCK-YIDDISH !! GOLEM, c'est une nouvelle génération d'artistes, signés chez JDub Records (SoCalled, Balkan Beat Box, Matisyahu, etc) qui montrent que la musique juive est vivante et créative.
GOLEM nous propose une interprétation de la musique klezmer, influencée par les traditions musicales juives d’Europe de l’Est et par les sons issus de l’avant-garde New-Yorkaise.
« Le son GOLEM, c'est le genre de musique que vous pourriez entendre au SHTETL(*) s'il était habité par des PUNKS au lieu de PAYSANS !! » (The Washington Post).

(*) SHTETL : un grand village ou un quartier juif en Europe de l'Est avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale
The Festival opens on May 22 with a The Magical World of Yiddish Song featuring acclaimed singer Zalmen Mlotek. Mlotek is an internationally recognized authority on Yiddish folk and theatre music and is a leading figure in the Jewish theatre and concert worlds. He was raised in a prominent Yiddish-speaking family renowned for its Jewish songbook collections. Zalmen’s deep roots in Yiddish culture and elite musical education have merged with his talent and passion into a career that has revitalized the world of Yiddish music and theatre. He brought Yiddish-Klezmer music to Broadway and off-Broadway stages as a co-creator, music director, and conductor of Those Were the Days, the first bilingual music honored with a Drama Desk Award and nominated for two Tony Awards. He is the Artistic Director of The National Yiddish Theater – Folksbiene, America’s only Yiddish theater. Joining Zalmen on stage will be Yiddish musical theatre performer Lisa Fishman.

Each Music With A View event features the works of 2-3 emerging and/or mid-career composers and each performance will be followed by an open discussion between the artists and the audience, moderated by musician Kathleen Supové and other leaders in the field of music.
Music With A View was created to respond to a need for a lab-like space in which working artists can engage in a meaningful dialogue with the audience. It is dedicated to nurturing new works and to the free exchange of ideas, thoughts and opinions between artists and audience. Expect the works presented to be in various stages of development—raw, half-baked or fully developed. Admission is free.

3 Cohens and Gilad Hekselman Trio
Sunday, April 29, 7:00 pm
The 3 Cohens are a trio of siblings from Tel Aviv, Israel – tenor saxophonist/clarinetist Anat Cohen, trumpeter Avishai Cohen and soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen – whose sense of improvisational interplay is both uncannily fluent and wonderfully, infectiously warm. 3 Cohens will be backed by a rhythm section featuring Pianist Yonatan Avishai, bassist Omer Avital, and drummer Obed Calvaire.
Gilad Hekselman Trio, featuring bassist Joe Martin and drummer Obed Calvaire and will present the opening set in this incredible night of Israeli Jazz.
Gilad Hekselman is a remarkable young guitarist who “has set himself roughly in the line of Pat Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkle with a warm and clear guitar tone, clear articulation, crazily extended improvisational ideas, speed when he needs, an advanced understanding of harmony and the flexibility to go wherever his bands want…”

2 PM Workshop/Masterclass
A Capella Choral Blast featuring: Jewish People’s Philharmonic Chous, Cantigas Women’s Choir and NYU Madrigal Singers
The Jewish People’s Philharmonic Chorus (JPPC) is part of the modern Yiddish renaissance – more than thirty members strong, from teens to retirees. The JPPC has a century-spanning repertoire – exciting oratorios and operettas, labor anthems, folksongs, and popular tunes – all in Yiddish. Committed to strengthening Yiddish as a living language, the JPPC has commissioned and premiered new Yiddish choral works and shares the rich legacy of Yiddish song by performing year-round for old and young of all faiths at community centers, universities, K-12 schools, museums and places of worship throughout NYC's 4-state region. The JPPC has also performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, at Ground Zero and the West Point Military Academy, as well as at the North American Jewish Choral Festival.
Cantigas Women's Choir is under the artistic direction of Joan Isaacs Litman. The choir brings women of the community together to explore the rich tradition of women's singing and performs a broad spectrum of global music, both ancient and contemporary. The Cantigas Women's Choir advocates through song for those whose hearts need to be uplifted and whose voices need to be heard; the group has performed with the inmates of the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, New Jersey, and performs regularly in Hoboken.
NYU Madrigal Singers is a small, coed ensemble of 12-16 singers dedicated to the joy of a capella singing. Challenging repertoire includes music from Renaissance to Contemporary and all things in between. Directed by Nancy Ellen Shankman, the group is trained to perform without a conductor. In addition to participating in the fall and spring concerts at the university, the ensemble pursues its mission to bring music to the community by performing at local public and private schools, such as the George Jackson Academy, and hospitals and senior centers including the Hallmark Senior Residence in Battery Park City. Madrigal Singers also takes its program to organizations such as the Salmagundi Arts Club and others dedicated to supporting the arts. The ensemble is involved in the revitalization of the NYU Choral Alumni and sang last spring at the Memorial/Dedication of the plaque for Marian Konstan, in the choral suite at the Kimmel Center.
The New York University Madrigal Singers performed at the 29th Annual Conference of the International Society of Music Education held in Beijing, China in August of 2010. Last spring, the ensemble did a combined concert with the Yale University Madrigal singers, and just concluded a 9 concert tour with the NYU Jazz Choir at the United Arab Emirates University, The University at Sharjah and NYU Abu Dhabi during January of 2012.

Only $10 (at the door)
The first Thursday of every month Shir Yaakov and Eden “Eprhyme” Pearlstein perform with a rotating cast of creative characters. Each month offers something new, showcasing this unique and versatile Musical Midrash project. From straight-up hip-hop, to sit-down meditative acoustic experiences, to far-out improv-oriented excursions, and everything in between. Each month features very special guests....
DARSHAN IS...
Astral rap. Liturgical jazz. Audio alchemy. Harmonizing Hebrew chant with hiphop, folk rock with electro-pop, love poetry with kabbalistic psychology, Darshan is a unique and organic weave of world wisdom traditions and modern musical styles.
Shir Yaakov is a master of melody who has given birth to hauntingly beautiful liturgical chants that echo around the world. He is the Creative and Musical Director of Romemu, NYC’s Renewal Community. Eprhyme is a Radical Jewish Rennaissance Rapper.
Together, as Darshan, these two combine and connect to create something that is altogether new, and at the same time ancient. Darshan is “an uncompromising blend of urban forms and neo-Hasidic spirituality.”

To-mn (pronounced tome) aka Tony Maiella is a North American musician based in Boston who fuses rock and Brazilian music, unveiling dense and dream-like pop songs. We've known Tony for a while now and are impressed and really excited to be a part of this show. Beautiful melodies, rockin grooves, and fun lyrics (both English and Portuguese) fill his music in such a way you will think summer has come early this year! With opener, Mike Maven, this is sure to be a fun and different kind of show for Klezwoods!

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.

">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.

Beside being a warm performer with a gift of bringing people together, Alula has a riveting personal story to tell. He was born to a mother who was 12-13 years old. Alula did not know his mother since he was placed in a orphanage where he grew up until his father took him out with him to Addis Ababa. Alula was not aware of his Jewish roots until much later in life when he re-united with his mother. Alula taught himself music and started appearing early in life. He was so successful that the regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam wanted to recruit him as a tool of propaganda. Alula refused and was sent to jail for a year.At the age of twenty Alulas father sent him to Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, to study medicine. Alula studied for 3 ½ years but then received a recording contract. Upon completing his contract Alula moved to Los Angeles where he has been living ever since. Alula will weave a musical yarn of world music and reggae connecting cultures, races, and faiths.

Leverett was a founding member of the Klezmatics in 1985 before moving on to establish a solo career. Her first CD, "The Art of Klezmer Clarinet," a tribute to classic klezmer of the 20's and 30's, was released in 2001 on Traditional Crossroads (CD4296) to glowing reviews. Her “Klezmer Mountain Boys” band has delighted audiences around the world. Margot will play in a classic klezmer trio format with Patrick Farrell on accordion and Aaron Alexander on drums.

Dave Levitt learned the music business from his parents. They got him started at age eight in Hollywood, Florida. He went on to appear with his folks at every one of their performances. First it was drums and clarinet. Later it became alto sax before Dave finally settled with the trombone at age fourteen. As a teenager Dave attended the famous Laguardia H.S. of Music and Art in New York. While a student there, he was a cast member in the Elizabeth Swados production "Swing" which had a run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. After completing High School, Dave attended Manhattan School Of Music on a scholarship. As student at MSM, Levitt had the good fortune of appearing with many notable jazz musicians. They included Red Rodney, Al Grey, Clark Terry as well as many others. It was about this time that Dave started to arrange and record Klezmer music with his father. These recordings also included their distant cousin Howie Leess on alto saxophone. After finishing his education, Dave took his artistry on the road which included the U.S. as well as Europe. Two of his European tours were with the Epstein Brothers Klezmer Band. Dave was the youngest member of the group as the brothers were well into their 70's. The eldest brother Max Epstein was in his early 80's. It was about this time that Dave started his own company called Progressive Music. The business operated as a rehearsal/recording studio for thirteen years. The business has since shifted gears and Dave is now involved in publishing as well as operating as a record label. The initial release of the label is called "Marty Levitt's Greatest Hits". It's a series of recordings with two generations in the ensemble. (Marty and Dave Levitt).

Darshan Jazz Rabbi's Invitational
Thursday, Feb 2 at 08:30 PM
7:30 PM Lecture with Rabbi Menachem Leibtag
8:30 PM Darshan Concert
Sixth Street Synagogue
325 E. Sixth Street
New York, NY 10003
212.473.3665
Darshan is astral rap, liturgical jazz, audio alchemy. Harmonizing Hebrew chant with hiphop, folk rock with electro-pop, love poetry with kabbalistic psychology, Darshan is a unique and organic weave of world wisdom traditions and modern musical styles.
Shir Yaakov is a Master of Melody who has given birth to hauntingly beautiful liturgical chants, used in havurot and synagogues around the world.
Eprhyme is a Radical Jewish Rennaissance Rapper.
Together, as Darshan, these two combine and connect to create something that is altogether new, and at the same time ancient. Deep and probing rhymes blend with evocative and uplifting melodies in "an uncompromising blend of urban forms and neo-Hasidic spirituality." — The Forward.
admission: $10 at the door
The concert will be preceded by a guest lecture on "Torah and Creativity" by Rabbi Menachem Leibtag, an internationally acclaimed bible scholar and pioneer of Jewish Education on the internet, is well known in the Jewish community for his essays on the weekly Bible portion. His vibrant thematic-analytical approach blends the methods of modern academic scholarship with traditional Jewish approaches to the Biblical text. He is best known for his ability to teach students how to study rather than simply read Biblical passages. As his essays focus on meta-themes in the Bible, his readership has expanded to students of the Bible from all religions and walks of life.
In Israel, Rabbi Leibtag teaches at Yeshivat Har Etzion, Yeshivat Shaalavim, Midreshet Lindenbaum, and at Yeshiva University's Gruss Center.

January 26th
Johnny D's Uptown
17 Holland St., Somerville, MA (Davis Sq.) 02144
7:30-9:30pm
$10
We are returning to one of our favorite venues, Johnny D's Uptown (Davis Sq., Somerville) for a show that will surely be remembered. We always love to play at this classic Somerville spot and are continuing the tradition of providing stellar and entertaining opening bands for the show. Last Spring we brought the Underscore Orkestra gypsy band from Oregon, this fall we had the Elephant Wrecking Ball, and this time around we are getting the Trubaci Balkan Brass Band! They will start the show off with a blast of brass that will surely get the party started right! They mix traditional eastern european flavors with intense improvisation and tight rhythms and harmonies. Trumpets, saxophones, trombones, tubas and drums will be blowing the roof off. Following Trubaci, Klezwoods will be rocking the house with our usual Klezmer/Eastern European blend of hard grooves, improvisation and melodies.
This is a particularly special show for us, as we will be hitting the studio the very next day to record our next full length album! We will be travelling up to Syracuse, N.Y. for a weekend of recording at More Sound Studios. We are very excited to get rolling on this one, as it will feature a lot of new and original material as well as some classic repertoire that will make for an interesting and fun album to listen to.
So come out and see us off with a night of great music, food, drinks and company! We hope to see you out this Thursday night!

Hotegezugt présente son spectacle de musiques judéo-espagnoles (séfarades) "Palavrikas de Amor"
Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture des Carrés, F-74941 Annecy le Vieux (Savoie, France)
Tél. 0033 450 23 43 48.
Entrée: 8€ (adhérents: 4€).
Expulsés d'Espagne en 1492, les juifs séfarades, porteurs des traditions séculaires d’Al Andaluz, ont essaimé dans tout le bassin méditerranéen et influencé la vie culturelle, en particulier dans des villes comme Tétouan, Fès, Salonique, Izmir, Sarajevo ou Constantinople. Outre leur langue (le judéo-espagnol), ils y ont emmené leurs chants, qui furent ainsi transmis de génération en génération. Ce répertoire, constamment enrichi et renouvelé au contact des musiques populaires indigènes, a permis aux Juifs de la diaspora séfarade d'affirmer leur culture particulière: juive et hispanique. Il fait désormais partie intégrante de l'immense patrimoine culturel du peuple juif. Si la tradition et quelques textes remontent bien à l'Espagne du 15ème siècle, la créativité musicale, elle, est le fruit d'un métissage artistique plus récent. Autant de lieux, autant de musiques et de poèmes inscrits les mémoires. Leurs seuls points communs sont leur éclectisme, leur charme et leur capacité à évoquer toutes les émotions. Et même si la Shoah en a interrompu la transmission orale traditionnelle, les chants judéo-espagnols suscitent maintenant l'enthousiasme des musiciens et des mélomanes du monde entier. Délaissant donc leur klezmer et leur yiddish familiers, Hotegezugt et Anne-Claire Monnier vous proposent un concert de musiques instrumentales et de chants judéo-espagnols et mizrakhim (orientaux) dans une interprétation qui perpétue la tradition sans la figer.
Avec Anne-Claire Monnier (chant), Michel Borzykowski (saxophones et chant), Julien Lapeyre (violon), Pier-Yves Têtu (accordéon), Frédéric Berney (contrebasse) et David Morhain (percussions).

Klezmer Concert: The Philadelphia Folklore Project presents award-winning drummer Elaine Hoffman Watts and her daughter, acclaimed vocalist and trumpeter Susan Lankin Watts in an evening of klezmer music devoted to saying good riddance to all the mishegas (Yiddish for "craziness" or "insanity") in our world today. Klezmer is the celebratory music of Eastern European Jews. "Goodnight Mishegas" is a line in the Hoffman family's Goodnight Waltz, composed close to a century ago, with words recently penned by Susan. The Folklore Project invites people to sing along at the concert and, in celebration of family and community traditions, to reflect on possibilities for turning our woes into joy.

KLEZMER CONQUEST: A Battle of The Bands
Temple Aliyah
1664 Central Ave-Needham, MA
December 11th at 7 PM
$ 5 ticket
Join our special guest MCs, our Natick neighbors, Cantor Ken Richmond and Rabbi Shira Shazeer for an entertaining evening of Klezmer as four local bands hit the Aliyah bandstand. Having performed klezmer and Yiddish songs up and down the East Coast, in Israel, and in Eastern Europe, Ken and Shira will keep the program moving with their musical taklents, Yiddishkeit, and humor..
Our four Klezmer Kontenders are:
Klezjam who have playing together for nearly 3 years. We play at nursing homes, assisted living centers, and an occasional bar mitzvah and wedding. The band got its name from the fact that we met playing at two regular jams -- the Workmen's Circle jam and the Watertown.jam.
JCC Klezmer ensemble is a class of The JCC in Newton lead by Barry Shapiro. Barry has been along-time member of the Boston music scene and was a founding member of The Klezmer Conservatory Band, Shirim, and the B.S.O. (Barry Shapiro Orchestra).
Shir Madness plays a mix of Yiddish show tunes, folk tunes and hits from the Borscht Belt. The band plays all of the distinctive dances and styles -- bulgars, Terkishes, freylakhs, horas, shers, hongas, waltzes and marches -- all of them popular in Eastern Europe and in the U.S. in the early part of the twentieth century. The band especially loves the wild and swinging music from the golden age of the great bandleaders -- people like Dave Tarras, Abe Schwartz, German Goldenshteyn, Harry Kandel, and Naftule Brandwein. We also play original pieces written by our clarinet player, Richard Yospin.
The Shpilkes Klezmer Band has become a mainstay of the Purim celebrations and congregational events at various synagogues in MetroWest. The name "Shpilkes" ..(שפּילקעס).. is a Yiddish word for "nervous energy". The word is also sufficiently like the Yiddish term "shpil", meaning play, that it can help to think of it as "playing instead of sitting still". That's where Shpilkes Klezmer Band is at, hyperactive, ready to play and certainly not to sit still. No one can listen to Klezmer by Shpilkes without wanting to dance to its lively, living melodies and relating to the instrumental voices that sing of the human experience.

The JEWISH WOMEN of REBETIKA
Within the provocative world of the early twentieth century urban Greek Café Amans, where flamboyant characters sang about desperate love, life and death, and the seedy side of life, there were a surprising number of celebrated Greek Jewish female vocalists. Included among them were Roza Eskenazi, one of the most renowned Greek singers of all time, and Stella Haskil, who sang together with legendary performers such as Vasilis Tsitsanis. On this side of the Atlantic, Jewish women, notably Amalia Baka and Victoria Hazan, found center stage in the immigrant Greek nightclubs and community celebrations of major urban centers, as well as within the American ethnic recording industry.
All four women were held in high esteem for their extraordinary singing of a beautiful and complex repertoire, both during their lifetimes and again in recent years. Their music, making use of Eastern scales and asymmetrical rhythms, lush with intricate embellishment, and profound in its emotional content and depth, found its way into the hears of several generations of devoted listeners.
Although widely embraced for their musical contributions to urban Greek cafe music and Rebetika, their histories as Jewish women are not widely known. Using live performance and excepts from personal and family interviews, acclaimed vocalist Carol Freeman, together with virtuoso instrumentalists Haig Manoukian (oud) and Beth Bahia Cohen (violin), pay tribute to these Greek Jewish singers with a fascinating look into the songs and lives of these extraordinary women.
Come to a Klezmer Dance Party on Saturday night, 11/19 @ 7:30pm at Appel Commons (Cornell Campus.) Renowned klezmer dance instructor Steve Weintraub will join forces with the Cornell Klezmer Ensemble.
Steve is also planning on hosting some workshops as part of his visit.

Christopher Brooks, violin, is former concertmaster of Orquesta Bética Filarmónica de Sevilla (Spain) and the Harrisburg Symphony, and violinist with the Susquehanna String Quartet. Brooks draws from deep classical and Jewish roots in his thoughtful and soulful improvisations.
Pete Bainbridge, bass ‘viol, supports the ensemble with a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation as well as offering tantalizing, free-ranging solos.
Jon Kunkle’s classically-trained and jazz-inspired electric guitar engoldens the sound of the ensemble, both while tastefully supporting the melody and during his elegant solos.
Dave Young has played drums with every important jazz musician in the region. Young has the rare ability to stitch an ensemble together, creating a whole much more than its parts.

Le klezmer est la musique que les baladins juifs ont colportée de fête en fête et de shtetl (bourgade) en ghetto dans toute l’Europe de l’Est depuis le Moyen Âge.
Bercé dans la liturgie, nourri de mélodies extatiques hassidiques et de chants profanes, il s'est encanaillé dans les auberges et enrichi de théâtre et de danses populaires. En symbiose avec les musiques slaves, tsiganes et ottomanes, il a acquis une diversité et une richesse d'expression incomparables.
Avec ses variations de rythme, ses dissonances, ses ornementations et une touche d’improvisation, le klezmer incite à la spiritualité et à la danse en exprimant toutes les émotions: joie et tristesse, recueillement, amour ou ivresse, sans oublier l'humour… juif!
Extirpé d’Europe, par le nazisme et le stalinisme, il s'est bouturé au jazz en Amérique avant de redevenir populaire dans le monde entier.
Perpétuant la tradition sans la figer, GOYLEM ! joue depuis 1996 ses compositions originales et de nombreux thèmes klezmer, arrangés à sa façon et parfois métissés de chants séfarades, de musique classique et de swing…

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!
Do you like klezmer music? Dancing? Fun?

A special musical project of Mr. Jonathan Cannon's, documenting his recent studies in Moldova, and featuring several impeccably credentialed colleagues;

Location : fnac, Digitick
Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).
Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).
Camille Artichaut – clarinette
Frédéric Petitprez – Batterie
Sébastien Rideau – Guitare électrique

Concert préfacé par Estelle Goldfarb & special guests : Ezra (beatbox) et Olivier Koundouno (cello)
Estelle Goldfarb fait corps avec son violon. C’est ainsi depuis toute petite. Elle eût pu rester dans le giron du classique, la destinée naturelle
d’une violoniste, ou bien enflammer les mariages, les baptêmes, bref, les fêtes, orientales, juives, tziganes... ou encore jammer avec tout ce qui groove. Mais voilà, Estelle chante. Pas elle, son violon, en fait, ça revient au même... Ses notes ont le poids des mots. Tout l’inspire, ses humeurs, ses
élans, son monde. Et LE monde, surtout. Elle travaille à façon : elle dessine les mélodies, coud les rythmes, brode les arrangements. Des envolées souvent lyriques sur canapé électro, pour tisser pleins et déliés du violon sur tapis synthétique. Histoire de mailler éternité et futurisme. Estelle Goldfarb prend son envol solo, que les cieux lui soient cléments

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.

Grand Performances
350 S. Grand Ave.
Los Angeles, CA
September 25, 2011, 8 pm
Further venue info/tix: www.grandperformances.org/en/gp/
Monajat is inspired by Selihot, the poetic prayers of forgiveness recited during the month preceding the Jewish High Holidays according to Middle Eastern tradition. This period of deep reflection and spiritual preparation serves as a backdrop for Dardashti’s time-specific concert and program. The first-time U.S. presentation of Monajat combines participatory workshops, talks, prayer services, and other educational programs to enhance the spiritual and cultural experience. Dardashti, a performer and anthropologist of Iranian descent, re-imagines the Selihot ritual in collaboration with an acclaimed ensemble of Jewish and Muslim musicians, an electronic soundscape, and dynamic video projections by video artist and designer Dmitry Kmelnitsky.
Dardashti’s acclaimed ensemble of musicians includes Omer Avital (oud, bass, vocals), Amir ElSaffar (santour, vocals), Tal Ronen (bass, vocals) and Dafer Tawil (percussion, violin, ney, oud, vocals).
The Foundation for Jewish Culture and its league of performing arts presenters have commissioned Monajat (Fervent Prayer), a multimedia concert by composer, singer, and scholar Galeet Dardashti which will tour the United States in September 2011. Monajat, an evening of Middle Eastern musical poetry, inaugurates the New Jewish Culture Network, an initiative to create and deliver outstanding Jewish music and other art forms to audiences in the U.S. and beyond.

You Know More Yiddish Than You Think!
How much Yiddish do you know? Probably more than you think. Some English words have made their way into Yiddish. Many Yiddish words are now commonly used in English. And a surprising number of Yiddish and English words are related – they sound almost the same in both languages. Our four lively games give you a chance to show off the Yiddish you didn’t even know you know. This exhibition is made possible by Nancy and Stephen (Skippy) Weinstein with additional support by Leo and Eda Rabinovitz, and Chana and Yechiel Schachner in memory of Malky Toby Schachner.

Pianist ROGER DAVIDSON debuts “ON THE ROAD OF LIFE” September 17 at DROM
Jewish artist will be performing at New York Gypsy Festival.
Sep 17, 8pm
Drom
85 Ave. A, NYC
Tix: $15 adv/$20 door
DROM, located in East Village, will be celebrating with Roger Davidson and Frank London playing Jewish music and klezmer during the 7th annual New York Gypsy Festival. The event is on September 17 but the
festival starts Sept. 9.
More info:
www.dromnyc.com
Pianist and composer Roger Davidson's work in classical choral music, jazz, Brazilian music, and tango, introduces "On the Road of Life,"—a recording of original songs in klezmer style. Klezmer is an instrumental music tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. It's a mostly festive music, originally performed for dancing at weddings and other joyful events. It shouldn't surprise then that for Davidson—born in Paris to a family with American, French, and German roots, raised in New York, and curious since childhood about the big world outside klezmer "might suggest both, honoring old bonds but also a world of possibilities."
On the Road to Life is not a traditional klezmer music recording. For Frank London, trumpeter, bandleader, and the album's arranger and producer. It represents the sound of klezmer distilled through Roger Davidson.

Masada Guitars Revisited:
In 1993 John Zorn began composing and performing his 208 tunes that now comprise Book I of the Masada songbook. The vast repertoire has been performed by a mind-blowing variety of ensembles and performers, including a 2003 CD entitled 'Masada Guitars,' featuring guitarists Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell and Tim Sparks. For the Tzadik Radical Jewish Culture Festival, Masada Guitars will be revisited by three guitarists of the younger Radical Jewish Culture generation: Pitom's Yoshie Fruchter, Edom's Eyal Maoz and Rashanim's Jon Madof.
Edom:
Eyal Maoz is a guitarist, bandleader and composer of great intensity and vision. His band Edom pushes Radical Jewish Culture to exciting new places with the addition of keyboard maniac Brian Marsella and Israeli drummer Yuval Lion. Tight, driving and intense, Hope and Destruction presents powerful Jewish rock instrumentals from a cutting edge guitarist who combines the harmonic lyricism of Bill Frisell with the angst and skronk of Marc Ribot.

New World Premieres and Old World Chestnuts
Concert by The The Casco Bay Tummlers klezmer band
Saturday, June 4th at 7 p.m.
at the Frontier Cafe, 14 Maine St - Fort Andross, Brunswick, Maine
Join us in the casual atmosphere of the Frontier Cafe where you can enjoy supper or a drink and share new and old music with The Casco Bay Tummlers. The Casco Bay Tummlers have been playing Jewish music from around the world in their personal, engaging style to audiences in Maine and well beyond for over twenty years. It's been a while since they've performed in the mid-coast area so they are happy to be presenting a concert of new repertoire - including a film score by flutist/guitarist Carl Dimow - along with some of the classic klezmer tunes that have endeared them to their fans.
You can look forward to hearing colorful instrumentation - Carl on flute, bass flute, electric and acoustic guitars, Phil McGowan on drum set and ethnic percussion, Julie Goell on bass and vocals, Nancy 3. Hoffman on accordion and vocals and Steve Gruverman on sax and clarinet - and contrasting styles: jazzy improvisation, witty show tunes, Middle Eastern grooves and, of course, soulful klezmer interpretations, some reflective and some that will tempt you to get up and dance.
The Tummlers are pleased to note that Carl's film compositions were funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Food, wine and beer for sale at concert.

Tzadik Radical Jewish Culture Festival - June 1 at 9:30 PM
A celebration of avant-garde and experimental Jewish music
The Sixth Street Community Synagogue and John Zorn's Tzadik Records present six concerts by some of the best and brightest musicians on New York's Downtown Jewish Music scene.
Hasidic New Wave
Sixth Street Synagogue
325 E. Sixth Street
New York, NY 10003
When five Downtown New York improvisers with deep roots in the jazz tradition embrace the Hasidic musical legacy and the scintillating rhythms of the holy land, a new voice emerges. Blending together an intense mixture of ethnic and cosmopolitan sounds, Hasidic New Wave fuses spiritual songs from Hasidic dynasties to funk and jazz, Arabic dances with avant-garde rock, and juxtaposes horas and freylekhs with sheer improvisation. Hasidic New Wave's alternatingly ecstatic and meditative performances, imbued (as is consistent with Hasidic tradition) with joy and passion, has led critics to liken the band to Sun Ra meets Jimi Hendrix at a Jewish wedding and exclaim HNW marries Hasidic music to avant-jazz, spinning traditional Jewish celebratory songs into extended Jazz improvisations that incorporate ferocious horn blowing and raucous electric guitar solos.

Rashanim is an instrumental trio on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records, combining the power of rock with the spontaneity of improvisation, deep Middle Eastern grooves, and mystical Jewish melodies. The self-proclaimed 'Jewish Power Trio' is led by Jon Madof on guitar, with Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz on bass and Mathias Künzli on drums and percussion. The band gets its name from the noisemakers used during the raucous Jewish holiday of Purim.
In 2009 Rashanim released the all-acoustic 'The Gathering,' journeying far beyond their usual electric setting into a world of banjos, exotic percussion, and ethereal voices. Rashanim's concert at the Tzadik Radical Jewish Culture Festival will feature music from this repertoire.

Musique klezmer
Incontournable rendez-vous du Comptoir, c'est un peu comme retrouver de vieux amis, la musique est la même, proche, familière et pourtant gorgée de nouvelles saveurs.
C'est le génie de la musique klezmer, immédiatement reconnaissable. Effluves de l'est, imprégnée de l'âme des poètes yiddish, inlassablement jouée aux mariages et fêtes, échappée des shteyt'l pour suivre des routes improbables où les senteurs se mêlent. Elles se gorgent des parfums des Balkans, de Paris, de New-York et Yankele, « Petit Jean » à cinq têtes, marche depuis 10 ans, besace emplie de trésors étincelants et mutins !
Musiciens virtuoses et généreux, ils « vivent » les mélodies traditionnelles au travers des compositions, d’arrangements originaux et d’improvisations sur le fil de leur formation classique, contemporaine et jazzistique.

CONCERT / CONCERT
Avec Lloica Czackis et Sorin Gheraliu
with Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu
Dimanche 22 mai à 19h00 / Sunday, May 22, 7.00 p.m.
à la Maison de la culture yiddish - Bibliothèque Medem
29, rue du Château d'Eau 75010 Paris
La musique du peuple juif reflète son mouvement perpétuel d’un pays à un autre, d’une culture à une autre, des langues, des expressions diverses...
La rencontre de Lloica Czackis et de Sorin Gheraliu est celle d’une chanteuse de la chanson yiddish, héritière d’une vie nomade dans sept pays, et d’un cymbaliste tsigane de la Roumanie issu d’une famille de grands musiciens de Balkans.
Cette rencontre est également un lointain souvenir de klezmorim juifs et tsiganes qui jouaient ensemble pour les autres, mais aussi pour eux-mêmes, dans un monde de l’Europe de l’est qui n’existe 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 participé à leurs voyages, venez au spectacle revivre l ’émotion musicale d’autrefois, si vous n’avez pas voyagé avec Valiske, venez pour un départ musical vers l’Espagne médiévale, la Pampa juive, les cabarets de Varsovie et New York des années 1920, vers la Russie... Leur programme inclut de magnifiques poèmes chantés en judéo-espagnol, de chansons pour des enfants de colonies agricoles juives en Argentine, du jazz newyorkais en yiddish, de chansons d’amour en hébreu, 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.
P. A. F. / Admission : 15 €. Membres / Members : 12 €.

Welcome remarks by the Consul General of Italy Francesco M. Talò and the Representative for International Affairs of the Jewish Community of Rome Giacomo Moscati. Introduction by Francesco Spagnolo, Francesco Spagnolo, PhD, University of California, Berkeley
For the first time in the US, the Choir of the "Tempio Maggiore" conducted by the renowned tenor Claudio Disegni and featuring the hazan of Rome, Alberto Funaro, and organist Federico del Sordo, will expose the New York public to the unique flavors and variations of the liturgical tradition of the Jews of Rome.
The concert will open with Giuseppe Verdi's "Và Pensiero," the Hebrew Chorus from Nabucco. This magnificent choral work, which has become a symbol of the unification of Italy, recalls the story of the Babylonian exile after the destruction of the First Temple. The program will celebrate unique examples of late 19th century compositions from the Jewish communities in Florence, Livorno and Rome as well as a 1920 version of Hatikvà by Armando Sorani based on the 17th Century ballade La Mantovana.

Musique klezmer
Incontournable rendez-vous du Comptoir, c'est un peu comme retrouver de vieux amis, la musique est la même, proche, familière et pourtant gorgée de nouvelles saveurs.
C'est le génie de la musique klezmer, immédiatement reconnaissable. Effluves de l'est, imprégnée de l'âme des poètes yiddish, inlassablement jouée aux mariages et fêtes, échappée des shteyt'l pour suivre des routes improbables où les senteurs se mêlent. Elles se gorgent des parfums des Balkans, de Paris, de New-York et Yankele, « Petit Jean » à cinq têtes, marche depuis 10 ans, besace emplie de trésors étincelants et mutins !
Musiciens virtuoses et généreux, ils « vivent » les mélodies traditionnelles au travers des compositions, d’arrangements originaux et d’improvisations sur le fil de leur formation classique, contemporaine et jazzistique.

Girls in Trouble is an art-folk song cycle about the women of the Old Testament created by Brooklyn-based violinist, singer, and writer Alicia Jo Rabins. Drawing from two years spent studying holy texts in Jerusalem and playing in rock clubs at night, Girls in Trouble combines mysticism, poetry, and ancient women's tales to weave improbably beautiful songs about androgyny, knives & leprosy. This performance celebrates the release of Girls in Trouble's 2nd album, 'Half You Half Me.'
Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn has been at the heart of the vibrant Northwest independent and alternative music scene ever since releasing her debut album 'You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This' in 2001. Her music is characterized by an evocative mix of striking lyrical poise and unabashed emotional honesty. Her
performance at the Subterranean Arthouse is a bit of a secret, but we're letting you in on it. Shhhhhhhhh.
Real Vocal String Quartet was formed in 2003 by premier San Francisco violinist/composer Irene Sazer. Since then, the quartet has performed to sold out audiences around the Bay Area. The group is thrilled to announce the release this February of their first studio album. RVSQ's influences range from traditional American string band music to contemporary improvisation, from Brazilian folk rhythms to hypnotic meditations from West Africa. Through it all, the threads of spine-tingling vocal and instrumental harmony and fearless, inspired improvisation weave a web of original acoustic music played with a deep groove.

Conducted by Northeastern Professor and Zamir's founder and Artistic Director Joshua Jacobson, the concert will feature a meeting of the musical minds of the Middle East. Zamir will perform coordinated choral selections in both Arabic and Hebrew. We are thrilled to present as our special guests original members of Bustan Abraham in reunion. From 1991 until they disbanded in 2003, these Arab and Jewish musicians pioneered a unique form of instrumental music, combining elements of east and west, and Bustan was considered the finest ensemble of its kind.

Presenters, including renowned ethnomusicologist Benjamin Brinner, will address the use of music to increase empathy and mutual understanding among people who have been separated by borders of various kinds and alienated by conflicting politics.

Jazz Rabbi’s Invitational - April 4 at 7:30 PM
7:30 PM - Class on Ramchal’s (Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato) 'Derech Hashem' – All welcome, especially first-timers!
8:30 PM - Later Prophets
Greg Wall’s Later Prophets, Tzadik recording artists, bring a highly literate Jewish sensibility to the forefront of jazz. Wall, has found the perfect partners in his bandmates keyboard wiz Shai Bachar, drummer extraordinaire Aaron Alexander, and the effervescent David Richards on bass. Together, they are able to simultaneously straddle the gates of the ancient and avant-garde. A leading figure in NY’s downtown music scene, “rabbi and fiery, eclectic Jewish-jazz luminary” (Time Out NY) Greg Wall was ordained in 2006 and may well be the only recording and touring jazz musician who is also a rabbi. His work is “a surprising multicultural collision worthy of Bill Laswell or Kip Hanrahan at their best,” noted Jon Andrews in DownBeat.

Black History Month Series
Wednesday, February 23, 8:00 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm)
reunion of groundbreaking and virtuosic klezmer ensemble
Tickets: $22.50 advance / $24.50 at door
A klezmer show as part of Black History Month: what's up with that? Let Don Byron and his powerful band show you tonight, as they illuminate one of the many fruitful musical collaborations between the African American and Jewish communities--and knock your socks off into the bargain! (For further examples of such collaborations, look no further than the jazz of Benny Goodman and Johnny Mathis' famed rendition of "Kol Nidre.") This show is dedicated to the music of the late great Mickey Katz, clarinetist, Yiddish humorist, klezmer bandleader, and musical director for Spike Jones. Featuring tunes like "Haim Afen Range" ("Home on the Range") and "Seder Dance" (an amazing adaptation of Khachaturian's "Saber Dance"), the performance explores the full range of Mickey's virtuosity and wacky humor.

Don't miss out on the chance to hear acclaimed musicians Mark Glanville (bass-baritone) and Alexander Knapp (piano) present what music critic Raymond Fischer called “a performance to remember for a lifetime.”

“Not your grandfather's Yiddish: the sublime art of the Yiddish song.”
(6:00 PM, North Atrium Foyer - Roof Terrace Level)
In his talk, Dr. Loeffler will explain the enigmatic origins and distinctive artistry of Yiddish folk songs. Using examples from the evening concert’s repertoire, he’ll answer such questions as whether all Yiddish songs are actually in minor key and why the great Russian composers all used Jewish melodies in their works.

SOULS ON FIRE
Three cultures inhabited Spain in the 12th-15th centuries, each making an indelible impression on the region's art and music. They lived in harmony until the expulsion of the Jews and Gitanos in 1492. Join us for a musical exploration of Spanish, Ladino & Arabic culture that will take you on a sonic journey through the passion of Flamenco, the poetry of Sephardic culture and the rhythm of the Moorish. A world-class ensemble, each renowned in their own right, will combine the traditional sounds from Spain's Golden Age.
Starring
Lakshmi Basile of Sevilla, Spain: dancer
Adam Del Monte: Flamenco Guitar
and featuring
Marisol Fuentes: Flamenco vocals
Geraldo Morales: Cajon
Jeff Pekarek: bass

Prior to the existence of the larger klezmer ensemble or kapelye that included brass and clarinets, the flute – a popular instrument of all varieties throughout world history – was often part of the smaller klezmer band; as one of the quieter instruments allowed in religious settings, it was an obvious partner with the violin and cimbalom. Early photos of larger bands show one or more flutes. These flutes were generally of the multi-keyed variety, a few Boehm-system, but mostly simple-system and/or what we now sometimes refer to as transitional.
Flutes played an important role taking the high melodic lines and fills in the early American bands of Art Shryer, Harry Kandel, and Abe Schwartz, to name but a few. Shloymke Kosch and Israel Chazin, employing exemplary tones and technical facility, are among the unfortunately all-too-few recorded flute soloists.
Adrianne performs on vintage wood instruments, returning the flute to its rightful place in the traditional small klezmer ensemble.

Jews and Sufis: A Shared Musical Tradition
Musical Performance by Dunya and Panel Discussion
January 17, 7:30pm Congregation Beth El, Sudbury
Beth El of Sudbury is pleased to host JEWS AND SUFIS: A Shared Musical Tradition on Monday evening January 17 at 7:30. The evening’s program will include a panel discussion and concert exploring the historical interaction of Jews and Muslim mystics in Turkey.
A panel of scholars led by Dr. Edwin Seroussi, director of the Jewish Music Research Center in Jerusalem, will speak on cultural, historical, religious and musical aspects of Jewish-Sufi collaborations in Turkey from the 16th to the 20th centuries, followed by a dialogue with the audience. The program continues with a concert by Dunya, an ensemble of vocalists and instrumentalists performing examples of Turkish Maftirim (Hebrew sacred poetry set to Ottoman sacred and secular music), Sufi devotional music and improvisations.
From the earliest days of Islam, some Muslims have been attracted to mystical interpretations of their religion. In Turkey, at least since the thirteenth century, Islamic mysticism has been expressed through participation in Sufi brotherhoods that serve as centers of spiritual and social life.
Similarly, mysticism and mystical experiences have been a part of Judaism since the earliest days. Examining the mystical aspects of both the Jewish and Muslim cultures can serve as a useful platform for exploring everyday interconnections among the communities.
The program, which is free and open to the public, is being sponsored Beth El’s Cantor’s Fund and Dunya www.dunyainc.org. For more information contact Congregation Beth El at 978-443-9622, or www.bethelsudbury.org.

Eyal Maoz (NYC, Tzadik) and Asaf Sirkis Duet - Elementary Dialogues (Ayler Records) - LIVE!

address: JazzCafe POSK

Telephone: 44 (0)208 7411940
A rare performance in the UK: Eyal Maoz and Asaf Sirkis share a long history of collaboration. Beginning at
elementary school in their hometown of Rehovot, Israel, their friendship and musical association has continued through many years, and they have since become main stays of the creative music scenes of London (Sirkis) and New York (Maoz). A huge plethora of influences and experiences comes to creative fruition in their duo. Combining composition and improvisation, their intuitive rapport and mutual understanding guides the way through a musical conversation full of unexpected twists and turns and sudden bursts of colour and energy, yet never losing its emotional depth and logical coherence. The Maoz-Sirkis duet brings straight-up experimentation to the traditional concept of jazz, blending both composed and improvised music to create an interesting and inventive whole.

Achinoam Nini (NOA) - Special Intimate Show at City Winery
Monday, January 10, 8:00pm
City Winery
155 Varick St
New York, NY
Known in Israel by her given name Achinoam Nini, Noa is Israel's leading international concert and recording artist. Born in Tel- Aviv in 1969, Noa lived in NYC from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor.
Noa's strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with Noa's Yemenite roots and Gil Dor's strong background in Jazz, Classical and Rock, have created Noa and Gil's unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel.

The group developed its repertoire over 3 years of weekly performances at a restaurant in Somerville, MA and play music from the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey in their own unique way.

A Purely Coincidental Night of Klezmer. Featuring Ben Holmes (trumpet), Karen Waltuch (viola), Reuben Radding (bass), Uri Sharlin (accordion) & special guests. For the past two years, December 24th has proven to be an exceptionally lovely evening for klezmer, for no particular reason, really. The first concert certainly wasn't motivated by a book we found at an elementary school music program with the fascinating title of "Christmas Music for Everyone". This year, ditch the movie (but feel free to bring the Chinese food) and come to the continuation of the klezmer coincidence for a delightful evening of music, dancing and drink. Sets at 8 PM & 10 PM, $10 suggested.

Klezmerfest! ft. Greg Wall
Sixth Street Synagogue: 325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd Ave), NYC
Klezmerfest! is a outstanding klezmer band in the great Eastern European tradition. They have been delighting audiences for years at such venues as the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Eldridge Street Project, the Knitting Factory, and synagogues and schools throughout the Northeast. Featuring some of the top musicians in the New York area, they have two CDs out and are a great example of the New York klezmer/hasidic sound as played by such groups as the Epsteins, Beckerman, and Rudy Tepel. With Greg Wall-clarinet, Jordan Hirsch – cornet, Zevy Zions- accordion, Brian Glassman-bass, and Aaron Alexander- drums, as klezmer giant Pete Sokolow says in the liner notes to their most recent recording: “Make no mistake, dear listeners – this is the emese zakh (real thing)…… It is totally honest and completely true to the ideals of the music. It just doesn’t come any better.”

3pm Concert, 2pm workshop/masterclass, free with admission
Sixth Street Synagogue: 325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd Ave)
The Maeandros Ensemble, led by oud player and vocalist Mavrothi Kontanis, combines lively traditional and innovative sounds from Greece and the Near East in high energy, emotional performances. Featuring a talented line-up of musicians, including Lefteris Bournias on clarinet, Megan Gould on violin, and Timothy Quigley on percussion, each concert highlights the group’s deep love and respect for the folk and urban songs of the early 20th Century Aegean, while simultaneously pushing the musical limits of that tradition with virtuosic improvisations and the ensemble’s own original compositions.
Maeandros has performed concerts and led educational seminars at prestigious venues and institutions throughout the US. Maeandros will be presenting an educational workshop at 6th Street Sundays for those interested in learning more about the music and culture of the Aegean Sea region, including background on the instruments, rhythms, musical modes and history behind this beautiful and unique musical tradition.
At 2pm Maeandros will present a workshop structured for people who have some familiarity with music, although anyone with an interest in Greek music is welcome. Our presentation will include a performance of a few songs, explanations of the historical and geographical context of the music, and a brief description of the instruments. We will include some audience participation with rhythms and singing, and for those with more advanced musical knowledge, we will briefly discuss the structure of the makams (musical modes), and ornamentation. The workshop will conclude with a brief question and answer period.
Cover $15 (includes a free drink).

$10 cover includes a drinkJazz Rabbi’s Invitational: Later Prophets
7:30pm: Class on Ramchal’s (Rabbi Chaim Luzzato) ‘”Derech Hashem”
8:30pm: Later Prophets
Greg Wall’s Later Prophets, Tzadik recording artists, bring a highly literate Jewish sensibility to the forefront of jazz. Wall, has found the perfect partners in his bandmates keyboard wiz Shai Bachar, drummer extraordinaire Aaron Alexander, and the effervescent David Richards on bass. Together, they are able to simultaneously straddle the gates of the ancient and avant-garde. A leading figure in NY’s downtown music scene, “rabbi and fiery, eclectic Jewish-jazz luminary” (Time Out NY) Greg Wall was ordained in 2006 and may well be the only recording and touring jazz musician who is also a rabbi. His work is “a surprising multicultural collision worthy of Bill Laswell or Kip Hanrahan at their best,” noted Jon Andrews in DownBeat.

9 Volt Circuistry is an unlikely collaboration between 2 accomplished band leaders: trombonist, New York City native Rick Parker and Israeli guitarist Eyal Maoz. Parker's use of electronics with the trombone combined with Maoz's unique approach to guitar and effects results in a music that is a synthesis electronic experimental, rock, jazz and neoclassical minimalism. The trio is usually completed by drummer Yonadav Halevy or Ziv Ravitz, both of whom can be found crossing genres of music and the globe with their unique rhythmic talents.

From the medical treatises of Maimonides (who did advocate chicken soup), to the prophetic decrepitude of Kafka, to cranky Yiddish nursery rhymes, to Jewish inflected Broadway show tunes, and from anguished folk songs to novelty numbers of the early and late 20th century, this evening’s performance will musically explore the aches, pains, and plagues of the Jewish body and soul.
"Krankayt: Jews, Hypochondria and Song" is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

"Burson builds upon this aesthetic with SILVER & ASH, her most ambitious project yet. Set for September 14th, 2010 release, SILVER & ASH is an album, performance piece, and songbook that imagines her grandmother's life in Germany, from her birth in 1919 to her escape in 1938. For this project, Burson visited her own childhood home in Memphis, where she conducted interviews with her grandmothers, and ventured to the childhood homes of her ancestors in Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Ukraine."

The next All Star New York Yiddish Sing-along will take place on Tuesday, October 12, at 7:30pm at Congregation Rodeph Sholom, 7 West 83rd Street.
This will be the third such event in recent years led by the inimitable artistic director of the National Yiddish Theater - Folksbiene Zalmen Mlotek. The large audiences that attended the earlier two Yiddish Sing-alongs found themselves in the warm embrace of a heymish community sharing songs that evoked memories of a vibrant Yiddish speaking world, and connections to its glorious culture. The high percentage of younger participants was yet another sign that Yiddish is very much alive and will be part of the New York experience for generations to come.
This year's line-up of singers includes some of our most popular performers of Jewish music - artists who travel the world, and perform in a wide range of musical genres: Cantor Bob Abelson, Phyllis Berk, Joanne Borts, Adrienne Cooper, Magda Fishman, Cantor Rebecca Garfein, Annette Ezekiel Kogan, Avram Mlotek, Avram Pengas, Daniella Rabbani, Basya Schechter, Di Shekhter Tekhter, Cantor Dan Singer, Zalmen Mlotek's Yiddish Singers, The Folksbiene Troupe, The Jewish People's Philharmonic Chorus/yidisher filharmonisher folks khor, under the musical direction of Binyumen Schaechter - and some special surprise performers
There will be a Klezmer band accompanying the concert - with some of our finest musicians, including Margot Leverett, Marty Confurius, Matt Temking and others.
Every song will be available in transliteration so that every audience member will be able to fully participate and fill the glorious sanctuary of Congregation Rodeph Sholem with the sounds of Mame-loshn. Our emcee will be that debonair Yiddishist from Avantura - Corey Breier.
The concert is presented by Golden Land Concerts & Connections, with support from the National Yiddish Theater - Folksbiene, The Workmen's Circle/ Arbeter-Ring, League for Yiddish/Afn Shvel, Yugntruf, Congregation Rodeph Sholom, Congress for Jewish Culture, Yiddish Artists & Friends/ Actors Club/Yiddish Theatrical Alliance.
General admission tickets are $20 if purchased in advance, and $22 on the day of the concert. VIP reserved seating, with a post concert wine reception sponsored by City Winery, will be $50 if purchased in advance, and $60 on the day of the concert. Group rates - 15 or more tickets - 20% discount if purchased in advance.

Jazz Talmud is a poetry and music project with Talmudic modes of dialogue, spontaneous interpretations, interruptions, arguing, and the ecstatic attempts at wisdom. The poems mimic Talmudic rhetoric, style and turns of phrase, as they reflect on the contemporary Jewish experience, jazz, dreams, loneliness and more. The horn players, acting as Talmud’s interpreters Rashi and Tosefot spontaneously riff on the spoken material and each other’s reaction to it.
AYN SOF ARKESTRA & BIGGER BAND
NYC’s newest addition to the canon of new Jewish influenced music and culture is the Ayn Sof Arkestra and Bigger Band, under the direction of saxophonist Jazz Rabbi Greg Wall and grammy winning trumpeter Frank London. The Arkestra consists of some of the most innovative artists on the scene today, including Pam Fleming, Paul Shapiro, Aaron Alexander, Fima Ephron, Eyal Maoz and many others. The repertoire will consist of original compositions and arrangements of the members and guest composers, in the great NuJu/Rad Jew/SunRaJoo tradition.

The Forward and Sixth Street Synagogue Present:
Jewish Art for the New Millennium: 3 Alicias 3
Evening of Music and Poetry with Alicia Svigals, Alicia Ostriker, and Alicia Jo Rabins
Curated by Jake Marmer and Dan Friedman
Tuesday Aug 24th @ 7.00pm
325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd avenue)
$8 cover
The evening will feature these acclaimed artists who represent eclectic genres, mediums and generations. Each will perform a set, then all three will come together in a collaborative work, and finally, a panel discussion will follow.
Alicia Svigals, violinist/composer, a founder of the Klezmatics and of the all-women band Mikveh, is considered by many to be the world’s foremost klezmer fiddler. During the past decade, she almost singlehandedly revived klezmer fiddle playing, which came close to extinction in this century; traditional klezmer violin style is now being played again by hundreds of her students, including most of today’s best professional players. She taught and toured with violinist Itzhak Perlman, who recorded her compositions as duets with Ms. Svigals accompanied by the Klezmatics. She is a past winner of the first prize at the Safed Klezmer Festival. “She is without question the greatest living exponent of the klezmer fiddle…” - Seth Rogovoy, author of The Essential Klezmer. See www.aliciasvigals.com.
Alicia Ostriker is a major American poet and critic. Twice nominated for a National Book Award, she is author of twelve volumes of poetry, most recently “The Book of Seventy” (2009), which won the Jewish Book Award for Poetry. As a critic Ostriker is the author of two path-breaking volumes on women’s poetry, “Writing Like a Woman and Stealing the Language: The Emergence of Women’s Poetry in America.” Ostriker has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Poetry Society of America, the San Francisco State Poetry Center, the Judah Magnes Museum, the New Jersey Arts Council, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is Professor Emerita of Rutgers University and is a faculty member of the New England College Low-Residency Poetry MFA Program. Ostriker has taught in the Princeton University Creative Writing Program and in Toni Morrison’s Atelier Program. She has taught midrash writing workshops in the USA, Israel, England and Australia. See www.rci.rutgers.edu.
Alicia Jo Rabins is a fiddler, singer, songwriter, and poet living in Brooklyn, NY. She has toured Central America as a cultural ambassador for the United States. A regular fiddler with Golem, her own band, Girls in Trouble, plays art-pop songs about women in the Torah. “An entrancing one-woman string quartet” — The Forward.

One of the most special New England events occurs not during the Fall leaf-gawking season, but in mid-July—starting today, in fact—when the National Yiddish Book Center opens its annual "Paper Bridge" festival, a week-long celebration of Yiddishkeit with lectures, workshops, film screenings, and of course, Jewish music new and old.
This year features two special exhibits, Mayer Kirshenblatt's paintings in a traveling exhibit titled: "They Call Me Mayer July" (so what more appropriate month!??). I am a major fan of the exhibit, and of his pictures, which capture life in pre-Holocaust Poland in a way that is both sweet and yet eschews the shmalzification of the period. Kirshenblatt's exhibit is balanced by a look at "Esn! Jews and Food in America. It's a hard combo to beat. [Off-topic, I note that the Jewish Women's Archive, where I work, has recently begun featuring regular guest blogs—is that an oxymoron?—on food and new kosher recipes. Yummy!
The festival finale, and another absolutely-must-see evening is the East Coast premiere of Veretski Pass's new piece, The Klezmer Shul. "Inspired by the synagogues of pre-war Eastern Europe, The Klezmer Shul is rooted in Jewish liturgical melodic principles and emotionals intonations. This four-movement instrumental suite transmits the emotional power of synagogue singing without the use of words, incorporating elements of jazz, avant-garde, classical, klezmer, and folk music."

What matters most to KlezmerShack readers, of course, is that there will be music. Amazing music. New music. Tonight its Hankus Netsky's new ensemble, Branches, "… that uses Jewish musical tradition as a point of departure for creative exploration, performing repertoire drawn from klezmer, Yiddish theater, and cantorial traditions, along with new compositions and improvisations based on Yiddish poetry and other sources."

It's been two years since drummer Rob Rudin served up a nice piece of cake along with original music on the eve of his birthday.

This year's concert features Rudin's new Jewish compositions and pieces by Jewish composers John Zorn and Leonard Cohen. Rudin will also premiere the suite Number 37 based on the life of world-champion athlete, jai-alai player Joey Cornblit, whose player number was 37.
"I put together the group Half-Jewish in order to play with some of my favorite musicians and to show that klezmer is not theonly Jewish music," says Rudin. The musicians include two Hot Tamale Brass Band members, clarinetist and saxophonistMark Chenevert and Danny Heath on trombone and vocals. Gill Aharon, who plays piano with his trio every Sunday at the Lily Pad, is along for the ride, as is trumpeter Sam Dechenne of John's Brown Body, HUMANWINE bassist Paul Dilley, violinist Mimi Rabson of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and multi-reedman Ted Roland.

Koerner Hall, TELUS Centre for Performing Arts
273 Bloor St West, Toronto
Beyond the Pale will perform for the first time at Toronto's beautiful new downtown concert space Koerner Hall, as special guests with the Toronto Children's Chorus. The concert will feature the TCC in a program entitled "Around the World in 80 Minutes," a musical journey from Canada and the United States, to Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, and New Zealand. Featured composers include Srul Irving Glick, Allister MacGillivray, Paul Halley, Morten Lauridsen, Krzysztof Penderecki, Richard Oswin ... and BTP's own Martin van de Ven. Martin was commissioned to create a new piece for BTP with the TCC. The composition "Being Margolia," is based on the life of Manya Lipshitz, who grew up in a children's commune in 1920's Russia before moving to Canada, where she became a Yiddish teacher and an early member of the leftist Jewish community of Camp Naivelt. Still functioning today, Camp Naivelt's current corps of children engaged in an extended study of Manya's life 2 summers ago, connecting her social justice values and distinctly Yiddish worldview to their own 21st century lives. Martin's involvement in the original project led to the new composition, whose text was created by Ruth Howard of Jumblies Theatre.
BTP will also perform a short set of some of its own tunes within the concert.
Klezwoods, an exciting Boston-based klezmer band, perform an energetic mix of klezmer, balkan, and arabic music with bass heavy grooves and eclectic instrumentation.

Musical Salute to Molly Picon, Star of the Yiddish Theatre!
Dr. Diane Cypkin tells—through English narration—the life story of this exciting First Lady of the Yiddish Stage through the countless songs she sang and often wrote during her many, many years on the Yiddish stage. Indeed, the concert is a cornucopia, a beautiful bouquet, of tangos, waltzes, and fox-trots, that will have you humming for days. The concert is a tribute to a legend!
Diane Cypkin, Ph.D., has appeared in many Yiddish language musical productions spanning more than two decades. She was Sheyne, opposite Joseph Buloff in Ossip Dymov’s Yoshke muzikant (Joseph the Musician) at the Folksbiene Playhouse; Beylke, David Opatoshu’s daughter, in Sholom Aleichem’s Dos groyse gevins (The Big Winner) at the Eden Theatre; Gitale in Ben Bonus’s production of Light, Lively, and Yiddish
at the Belasco Theatre on Broadway; and Tsirl in the Mary Soriano presentation Di yidishe tsigaynerke (The Jewish Gypsy) at Town Hall in New York. Dr. Cypkin has done much concert work, especially highlighting Molly Picon and other Yiddish theatre greats. As a child of survivors, Dr. Cypkin has been very involved in the Holocaust remembrance activities, and has participated and performed in numerous events in Israel and the United States. Dr. Cypkin has also worked in the English-speaking theatre as both singer and actor in shows at the Soho Repertory Theatre, the New York Theatre Workshop, the Jan Hus Playhouse, and the Three Muses Theatre. In addition, she has directed productions of The World of Sholom Aleichem, The Theatre of Peretz, and Green Fields. In 2007, she curated an exceptionally well-received exhibition at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on Molly Picon. For almost ten years she was Yiddish Theatre Consultant at the Museum of the City of New York and curated the highly successful exhibition, A Celebration: 100 years of Yiddish Theatre in New York. Dr. Cypkin is presently Professor of Media, Communication, and Visual Arts at Pace University in Pleasantville, New York, where she has taught for twenty years. She is a recipient of the Kenan Award for Teaching Excellence.
Lena Panfilova is a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory. She has performed as a collaborative pianist with many musicians and has given many solo and chamber concerts in Russia, across Europe, and in America.
For many years, she has been a beloved piano teacher. Ms. Panfilova is exceptionally proud of her numerous talented students.

klezmer aux olives grecques / klezmer and tzatziki

Trompette, clarinette et flûte en tête, si Untchak Attak c’est seulement dans l’intention louable de remuer quelques derrières, d’enflammer quelques danses, voire d’amener à la transe. Mais point de crainte, contrebasse, guitare, sax bar et grosse caisse assurent les arrières et si le tempo s’emballe c’est que la musique cavale.
Quand Untchak Attak, c’est toute la Méditerranée et les Carpates qui montent au créneau ; Grecs, Tziganes, Ashkénazes et autres Yougos s’emmêlent en rythme (malgré eux ?) pour un sirtaki en accéléré, un blues qui voit rouge, un freilach qui pleure pour mieux en rire.

On Thursday, April 22 at 8 PM, the Musicians of Lenox Hill, under the artistic direction of Soo-Kyung Park, will perform Chamber Music New York Style at Temple Israel of the City of New York, 112 East 75th Street, New York City The program includes Three American Pieces for flute and piano by Lukas Foss, Gershwin s Embraceable You and I've Got Rhythm arranged for solo piano by Earl Wilde, Dvořák s Piano Quartet No. 2 in Eb Major, B 162, Op.87 and Luminaria for violin and harp by Kenji Bunch, who has been called a composer to watch by the New York Times and is quickly emerging as one of the most prominent American composers of his generation.
New York Concert Review hailed the Musicians of Lenox Hill as "exemplary throughout" and "extremely impressive, technically and musically . The featured performers, Jae-Hyuck Cho, piano, Cornelius Dufallo, violin, Sean Katsuyama , cello, Wei-Yang Andy Lin, viola, Sivan Magen, Harp and Soo-Kyung Park, flute and artistic director, have each won international acclaim performing with major orchestras and ensembles and winning many of the world's most prestigious music competitions. This concert brings these extraordinary musicians together to perform chamber music written by some of the world s greatest composers as well as a new work by an emerging young star. Each of the composers on the program has been inspired by New York City and, at important points in their careers, called the City their home.
Says Artistic Director Soo-Kyung Park: "I am so thankful to Temple Israel and our dear friend, the late Muriel Levy, for sponsoring The Musicians of Lenox Hill, and allowing these exceptional artists to have the opportunity to perform such beautiful, enjoyable chamber music together, at affordable prices, in the wonderful, intimate setting of Temple Israel."
The audience is invited to attend a dessert reception with the artists following the concert. The concert, which is an annual event now in its 12th year, is made possible by gift to Temple Israel by the late Muriel Levy in memory of her husband, Dr.Hyman Levy and their son, Jerrold Levy, fulfilling her vision to continue the music she and her husband loved and support the Musicians of Lenox Hill.

Eliyahu & the Qadim Ensemble
Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 8:00 PM
Johnny D's Restaurant & Music Club
17 Holland St., Davis Square, Somerville, MA
The Qadim Ensemble, a cross-cultural group of Jewish and Arabic musicians, has joined forces to play for peace on a new CD and concert tour. Produced by celebrated neyzen Eliyahu Sills and Six Degrees' artist Jef Stott, and released by Embarka Records, "Eastern Wind" debuted last summer at #7 on the Billboard World Music Charts. The peacemaking musicians will play one Boston area concert on this East Coast tour at Johnny D's in Davis Square, Somerville, April 7th.
The Johnny D's performance will feature Gari Hegedus on oud and saz, Faisal Zedan on Arabic, Moroccan, Persian & Indian perrcussion, Rachel Valfer Sills on lead vocals and oud, and Eliyahu Sills on ney, bansuri and oud.
"Eastern Wind" masterfully mixes the sounds of Middle Eastern instruments to create a collection of traditional and original songs that celebrate the shared musical and spiritual heritage of a region now deeply divided by ethnic and religious differences. Featuring folk tunes, improvisations, and songs of love and devotion from the 12th century onward, the eclectic ensemble uses traditional instruments to travel on a musical journey through Arabia, Armenia, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Turkey and Yemen.
Jef Stott's digital production brings to life ancient acoustic instruments, including the ney, oud, saz, bansuri flute, kemanche, tablas, doira, qarqaba, bendir, daf, zarb, riqq, darbuka, dhola, and upright bass. "Eastern Wind" features accomplished multi- instrumentalists and vocalists Bouchaib Abdelhadi, Eliyahu Sills, Evan Fraser, Faisal Zedan, Fares Hedayati, John Villa, and Rachel Valfer, the group's lead vocalist.
