The Other Seder Songs
Thursday 26th March, 7:30pm
Oi Va Voi,Yiddish Twist Orchestra and Los Desterrados will rock out the JCC London's Other Seder. For the third consecutive year, we present our unique take on the Seder, as each band performs a song inspired by the after-dinner songs as the launching point for their set.

London's superfly klezmer / punk / gypsy outfit Oi Va Voigive us a sneak preview of their forthcoming third album, Traveling the Face of the Globe. The JCC's own creation, the fabulous Yiddish Twist Orchestra, will set the dance floor swinging with their hard-dancing, pulp fiction style 50s and 60s Yiddish surf twist!

Six-piece Los Desterrados, who released their third album, Miradores at the end of 2008, bring their mix of ladino, flamenco, Moorish and Gypsy flavours to the Seder.
Hosted
by Judy Batalion and accompanied by the tunes of DJ Max Reinhardtand visuals by imagician Miki Shaw, The Other Seder Songs returns to the beautiful Wilton's Music Hall for a night of music and dance.

Gastrophonic Stimulation.
Food Music. Nu, what else do you need ?
In our ongoing exploitations of Faith and the Calendar, we arrive to Passover. A holiday devoted to the themes of Freedom and Bondage. Too good to pass up, no ?

Imagine a Shangri La of Sense Stimulation. A raucous party where New York's most infamous chefs prepare you tongue-exploding morsels. Your ears are serenaded with virtuosic outlandish riffs from songs your elementary school choir used to sing. It is a holiday through the looking glass. It is a Celebration. It tastes amazing. It sounds like heaven.

That's the plan. It is… Gastrophonic Stimulation. Food. Music. Nu, what else do you need?

Our chefs explore the fat and the thin, leavening and unleavening.

Our musicians explore songs of freedom and bondage, singing some of the best and worst songs ever written on the subject, played by a monster circus band.

Basya Schechter of Pharaoh's Daughter brings to the Synagogue For The Arts this unique program of songs from the early Yiddish poetry of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. These beautiful poems written while he was a University student in Berlin, after leaving his Chasidic family in Warsaw, grapple with mans' relationship to G-d, to love, to nature to existence, social responsinbility, and reflect his deep concern for life, and are the seeds for the impact he eventually had on Judaism. (performed in Yiddish, with programs with English translation)

Musical Direction - Uri Sharlin -piano, accordion; Frank London - trumpet; Megan Weeder - violin; Yoed Nir- cello; Rich Stein - percussion; Basya Schechter - oud, guitar, voice
