The Great East End Treasure Hunt

London --The Great East End Treasure Hunt: A quest for a long lost past Sunday 6th April from 2pm

Stumble around the East End and watch the Jewish history of this area unfurl with musicians, treasure clues, actors and bagels. Sign up in groups to discover some stories, fall upon soup kitchens, bump into klezmer players and search for disappearing synagogues.

We'll scatter signposts, clues, artists including performer Judy Batalion, live musicians and hidden items along the roads of the East End, taking you on a two hour tour around a Jewish world that has all but vanished.

The afternoon will finish at Corbett Place for tea, drinks and live music from She'koyach.

The Other Seder with Hofesh Shechter, Joshua Sofaer, Judy Batalion and The Destroyers
Thursday, 10th April 2008, from 7:30pm

A night of contemporary dance, performance and live music with HofeshShechter, Joshua Sofaer, Judy Batalion, DJ Max Reinhardt and The Destroyers.

Contemporary Dance choreographer HofeshShechter, who wowed audiences with Uprising and In Your Rooms in 2007 at the Place, South Bank and Sadlers Wells and whose work on C4's Skins credits can currently be seen all over your televisions, will create a specially commissioned new piece of work around the theme of the Plagues.

Performance artist Joshua Sofaer will also present a new commission, turning the obligation to ask Questions at Passover into a Seder Chatshow.

And to finish off the evening, the 15-piece anarchic gypsy punk orchestra The Destroyers, host Judy Batalion and DJ Max Reinhardt will set a party vibe to bring down Wiltons' crumbling roof.

Zun Mit a RegnZun mit a regn (Sun and Rain) is a metaphor for 'laughter and tears' and a fitting motto for a program dedicated to the three Russian composers and friends Mieczslaw Weinberg, Veniamin Basner and Dmitre Shostakovich who supported each other even in the worst of times. World war Two and the reign of terror in the Soviet Union had a deep impact on the composers. The horrors of war were important themes in their work and the music of the persecuted Jewish people was a source of inspiration for them. At a time when Jewish culture was taboo and open pronouncements could have fatal consequences, this was an act of courage. It was often years before the works could be premiered, some scores never left the composers desk drawers or remained buried in archives. This recording includes unknown scores by Winberg and Basner.
Performed by the Sovali Consort: Soprano, violin, cello and piano.
Tracks:
Weinberg: Jewish songs first cycle; sonata for cello solo; Jewish songs second cycle; Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue no 8 in F sharp minor for piano; Four songs from 'From Jewish Folk Poetry'; Basner : Poem for violin and piano; Three fragments from the musical 'Jewish Luck' for voice and piano trio
