The Klezmatics with Joshua Nelson
Monday, April 4 at 8:00 PM (doors open at 7:00 PM)
Barnsdall Gallery Theatre
4800 Hollywood Blvd. (between Vermont and Edgemont)
Hollywood, CA 90027
General Admission: $25

Only in America could Jewish slaves in Egypt inspire White Southern Christians who in turn stirred Black Christians to sing about emancipation who in turn inspired an African-American Jewish gospel singer named Joshua Nelson.

The Klezmatics, known for their unique blend of melodic mysticism and improvisational activism, have once again turned their music inside out, exposing the complexity of Jewish identity, Black identity, and human identity. Brother Moses Smote the Water, their March 2005 release on Piranha Musik (distributed by Harmonia Mundi), teams them with Nelson and jazz singer/organist Kathryn Farmer. This first live Klezmatics recording alternates between age-old Hebrew Passover songs, Nelson's own brand of kosher gospel, and traditional Yiddish Klezmatic anthems.

"Beyond Yiddishland: New Studies from the Jewish Musical Mediterranean"

The music of Sephardi Jewish communities is a diverse and complex cultural phenomenon. Spanning the Mediterranean from the Western Sephardic communities of Spain and Portugal to North Africa, the Ottoman Empire and the Levant, the Sephardi world encompasses a vast geographic, cultural and linguistic space. This presentation will offer a broad overview of the development of academic scholarship on Western and Middle Eastern Sephardi musical traditions. Using extensive audio examples, Professor Kligman will demonstrate the stylistic and cultural diversity across Mediterranean Jewish communities, past and present. Guest Chair and Respondent for the event will be Professor Uri Sharvit of Bar-Ilan University.

This lecture is the fourth session in the New Perspectives on Music in Jewish Life seminar series of the Jewish Music Forum at the Center for Jewish History. Please RSVP to the American Society for Jewish Music at asjm@cjh.org or 212-294-8328.

Israeli Cellist At Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall

Israeli cellist Benjamin Shapira returns to NY to celebrate his new CD "Romantic Music for Cello". He will be performing an all-romantic program at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall on April 30th, 8:30 pm.
Shapira's international career was launched after his celebrated Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall performance of the Complete Bach Suites for Cello Solo. This CD features selections from Mendelssohn, Schumann, Saint-Saens and and Dvorak. He performs with his mother, pianist Shulamith Shapira, a graduate of the State Conservatory of Music in Bucharest under the supervision of legendary teacher Florica Musicescu. More information about the concert at:

CD's available at selected Tower Records and on the web at:

From Jerusalem to Carnegie Hall
Shapira is in constant demand as a soloist, performing all over the United States and abroad. His recent years' US performances include concerts in Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Texas, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin. Shapira frequently performs internationally as well, touring Europe, South America, as well as his home country, Israel. "It always seemed to me that the cello, with its human-sounding voice, is most suitable for Romantic expression", says Shapira, "almost as though the cello contains, within its four strings and curved body, the breath of Romantic life itself. No wonder the 19th century became the cello golden era".

From Marilyn Sokol, the Emmy, Obie, and Bistro Award-Winning Actress/Singer/Comedienne who brought you the smash hit Guilt Without Sex comes Me and My Fanny, a jubilant tribute to Fanny Brice - the late, great Star of Stage, Screen, Radio, and TV, the original funny girl about whom the Broadway musical was written.

Regina Resnik Presents The Classic Kurt Weill

Program to air on CUNY TV Channel 75 on March 21, 9 p.m.

City University Television will offer Regina Resnik Presents The Classic Kurt Weill as its first live classical concert production, to air on CUNY TV Channel 75, Monday, March 21 at 9 p.m. (also 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.), and again on Sunday, March 27 at 1 p.m. This acclaimed concert was originally performed at the Elebash Recital Hall, CUNY Graduate Center, and was made possible by a generous grant from the Baisley Powell Elebash Fund.

The Classic Kurt Weill features opera legend Regina Resnik, who presents and narrates the program, and soprano Jennifer Aylmer, tenor Michael Philip Davis, and pianist Kenneth Merrill. Highlighting the classically trained voices for which Kurt Weill originally wrote, the program traces his opera, song and musical theater works from Berlin in the 1920s to Paris in the 1930s and New York in the 1940s. The artists draw on the composer's endless array of musical styles and his profound sense of social conscience in songs from The Threepenny Opera, Lady in the Dark, Knickerbocker Holiday, Street Scene, and many others. Special attention is paid to Weill's presence as a Jewish composer in Germany during Hitler's rise to power, and the composer's ardent embrace of America, his adoptive homeland.

The next collaboration between CUNY TV and Regina Resnik Presents will be The American Jewish Composers in Classical Song, which will air the end of May. This concert will feature four world premières and two U.S. premières, including a work by composer John Corigliano and librettist William M. Hoffman written especially for the occasion. The program was made possible by a generous grant from the Ledler Foundation.

Both programs are part of CUNY TV's ongoing "Celebrate 350" series, commemorating the 350th anniversary of Jewish life in America.

CUNY TV is seen in the five boroughs of Manhattan on Channel 75 on Time Warner Cable and Cablevision systems, and on Channel 109 on RCN.

........................................................................................ « LA BELLE DU KADDISCH Une voix sidérante, d'une intensité inouïe, d'une force dramatique singulière que rehaussent encore d'authentiques qualités de comédienne. Dès les premiers accents, on se sent submergé, enveloppé, à son aise dans un monde venu de loin. Il y a du feu dans cette voix comme dans ces yeux... Annie Darmon interprète des chants ladinos, c'est-à-dire judéo-espagnols. A partir de l'expulsion des fuifs d Espagne en 1492, les exilés ont emporté ces chants, les ont transmis oralement à travers les générations jusqu'à nous. Au milieu d'autres chants liturgiques juifs, Annie Darmon donne du Kaddisch de Maurice Ravel une interprétation inoubliable. Le Kaddisch, tel qu'il se chante dans les synagogues, est une des sources du «Notre Père» des Chrétiens, et s'est transformé en chant des morts. Il est traditionnellement chanté par les hommes. Ravel, non sans malice, l'a écrit, lui, pour une voix de femme. Comme celle d'Annie Darmon, qu'on ne peut oublier.»

Oh, Lovely Parrot! - Jewish Women's Songs from Kerala

A New CD was released by The Jewish Music Research Centre in Jerusalem on the music of the Jewish women of Cochin, India. For centuries, the Jewish women of Cochin have been singing Jewish songs in the Malayalam language of Kerala, their ancient homeland on the tropical southwest coast of India. Here's the info to buy it and more descriptions below:
Title: Oh, Lovely Parrot! - Jewish Women's Songs from Kerala
Editor(s): Barbara C. Johnson
Publisher: The Jewish Music Research Centre, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Place: Jerusalem
First Edition Year: 2004
Language: Malayalam
Tradition: Cochin
Country: India
Category: Folk Songs
Price: NIS 60 / $ 20
for more info....

The 42 songs on this CD represent just a fraction of their traditional repertoire as preserved in more than 300 written texts, though the melodies of most of the songs have been forgotten. Until recently, the performance of these songs was in danger of being lost altogether with the immigration of almost all the Cochin Jews to Israel, where younger generations no longer understand Malayalam. Fortunately, a collaborative project is now under way, with a team of international scholars, studying and translating the songs, and a group of Cochin women dedicated to reviving their performance. This CD is one result of this collaboration.

DONA FEST-2005 success in February

Polina Shepherd writes to us about the Dona-Fest just held in Moscow:

February 17-20 The Shalom Theater hosted a gala concert of the first Moscow International Festival-Seminar of Jewish music DONA FEST-2005.

The leading Jewish bands from Russia and the CIS countries, as well as European stars, clarinetist Merlin Shepherd, composer and choir leader Polina Achkinazi-Shepherd and violinist Mark Kovnatsky, took part in the festival.

European Klezmer stars and Russian and CIS leading Jewish bands, folk quartet Askenazim, The Kharkov Klezmer Band, Dona, Klezmasters, Arkady Gendler, Alina Ivakh, Psoi Korolenko, and many others took part in the gala concert. The book "The Yiddishkait Music" book was presented at the concert. The East European Jewish wedding music, Klezmer, was forgotten for a long time. It comes back to Russia today. "Such festivals accompanied by educational seminars letting music teachers share their experience were already held in Russia and the CIS. Now it is time to implement this project in Moscow," said Anatoly Pinsky, chairman of the DONA FEST-2005 organizing committee.

KLEZFEST ST. PETERSBURG 2005

The Center for Jewish Music of the Jewish Community Center of St. Petersburg is proud to announce "KlezFest St. Petersburg 2005," an international seminar on the traditional music of Eastern European Jewry, to be held June 18-22, 2005 in St. Petersburg, Russia.

"KlezFest St. Petersburg," now in its ninth year, is the oldest klezmer seminar in Russia. The 2005 festival will include master-classes on Yiddish folk songs and klezmer music, workshops on Yiddish folklore and Yiddish dance, lectures, concerts, and two excursions: "Jewish St. Petersburg" and "Rivers and Canals of St. Petersburg." Our staff will include world-famous musicians -- from New York, the violinist, accordion player, vocalist, ethnomusicologist and the world's leading expert on Yiddish dance, Michael Alpert; also from New York, the vocalist from the famous Klezmatics group, Lorin Sklamberg; from Berlin, the outstanding klezmer clarinetist, Christian Dawid, and others.
"KlezFest St. Petersburg," dedicated to bringing klezmer music and Yiddish culture back to the land of their birth, includes Jewish musicians from the vibrant centers of the Jewish renaissance throughout the former Soviet Union.

This year again we are pleased to announce a special program for lovers of Yiddish music and culture from other parts of the globe. We are asking for a contribution of $550. This sum will include food and lodging in St. Petersburg for 5 days and the entire seminar program, including interpreters when needed, concerts and two excursions. Participants will pay for their own transportation to St. Petersburg.

For more information, please contact the Jewish Community Center of St. Petersburg via fax at (+7-812) 314-5117, or e-mail frenk@lea.spb.su.

For advice on travel and visa arrangements, contact our American sponsor, the Jewish Community Development Fund in Russia and Ukraine, a project of the American Jewish World Service (New York), via telephone: (+1-212) 273-1642, or e-mail: jcdf@ajws.org.

Join us at "KlezFest St. Petersburg" this summer! If you haven't been on the Neva River during White Nights with Russian klezmorim, you haven't lived!

Hard Rockin' Hamentashen, KFAR Jewish Arts Center's Purim

Purim is the Jewish Mardi Gras, where people get decked out in costumes, throw parties and get absolutely smashed. And while you won't find people flashing for beads on this holiday (Orthodox Girls Gone Wild! Show us your ELBOWS!), traditional celebrations take literally the instruction to celebrate until one can't tell the difference between Mordechai, the hero of the Purim story, and evil Haman.

Two Jewish rock bands, the Ari Ben Moses Band and The Moshe Skier Band and will be presented at Subterranean, a well-known, three story Wicker Park lounge and music venue.
9pm - 1am Saturday March 26th
Subterranean, 2011 W. North Ave.
$12 in advance (ticketweb.com) $15 at the door
more info at http://www.kfarcenter.com
call 773.550.1543 or email jewishfringe@kfarcenter.com

The Purim story, found in the Scroll (Megila) of Esther, is read aloud at synagogues, where costumed revelers cheer Mordechai and drown out the name of Haman and between the cheers and jeers, a lot of drinking is done. Rarely, however, do Purim celebrations get held at music clubs featuring rock bands.

Hard Rockin' Hamentashen, KFAR Jewish Arts Center's Purim celebration, is a change from the norm, then. The alternative Purim party will feature two Jewish rock bands, the Ari Ben Moses Band and The Moshe Skier Band and will be presented at Subterranean, a well-known, three story Wicker Park lounge and music venue.

"Everyone loves Purim and hamentashen- its a fun holiday when everyone celebrates," says KFAR's Director, Adam Davis. "Last year our Purim concert featured the Rabbinical School Dropouts, and this year, we're taking it to another level. The music will be loud, the liquor will be flowing, and there WILL be costumes and hamentashen."

Hard Rockin' Hamentashen, named for the traditional pastry shaped like Haman's three-cornered hat, is the fourth event KFAR has held in Wicker Park. Ironically, Wicker Park has no organized Jewish presence, despite a growing Jewish population, and in some ways, KFAR's events in the neighborhood fill that void.

"There's no real Jewish presence in the neighborhood," comments neighborhood resident Jon Silver, "and KFAR events in Wicker Park always have a bit of an indie-rock edge that fits the spirit of the neighborhood, more so than Starbucks and The Real World, anyways." Vital Event Information:

About the featured acts:
The Moshe Skier Band
A power rock trio performing original Jewish music in a classic rock style. In addition to their searing original songs, the trio covers well known traditional melodies with spare, bluesy arrangements. The rock trio's razor- sharp edge emanates from guitarist Mendy Appel's blistering technique, hailed by Yossi Piamenta as "Amazing!" The band is led by bassist Moshe Skier, formerly of Shlock Rock and Kabbalah and rounding out the outfit is Dan Lawitt's precise percussion. The Moshe Skier Band will rip through your notions of Jewish music and rock you until you can't tell the difference between Mordechai and Haman.

The Ari Ben Moses Band
Reggae bass lines, Latin beats, Middle Eastern and traditional Jewish scales are punctuated by gritty funk grooves influenced by Carlos Santana, Peter Gabriel and Ishmael Isaacs.

The Shlepping Mishpacha

A new London based klezmer band has put up their website and are ready to play. The band are five young musicians from the Royal Academy of Music. They have some audio clips to give you an idea of their style. http://www.shleppingmishpacha.com/
