Dear Safranim,
The following free public program might be of interest:
Jewish Music Forum
A Living Connection: The Musical Lives and Legacies of Morris
Hollender, Sonia Victor, and Marty Levitt
Speaker: Dr. Hankus Netsky
Live Music: Amanda Miryem-Khaye Seigel (vocals), Dave Levitt (trombone),
and Michael Winograd (clarinet) join Netsky (piano)
Creative individuals of the younger generation more and more often turn to
the legacies of Eastern European Jewish musicians in order to re-connect to
their cultural roots. Dr. Hankus Netsky, Founder and Director of the
Klezmer Conservatory Band and Chair of Contemporary Improvisation at New
England Conservatory, has made a career of connecting with compelling
sources that have generally been off the radar of both Jewish educators and
academics. In this program he explores some of the musical treasures from
the "The Discovery Gallery," an exhibit he curated at the Yiddish Book
Center in Amherst, Mass. Netsky considers three approaches to cultural
recovery: personal contact with Eastern European Jewish immigrants,
dialogue with younger family members, and learning from artifacts that have
been handed down—in a suitcase or even a pocketbook. Leading klezmer
musicians Amanda Miryem-Khaye Seigel (voice), Dave Levitt (trombone), and
Michael Winograd (clarinet) join Netsky to perform the music of Morris
Hollender, Marty Levitt, and Sonia Victor, three little-known individuals
who have important legacies to share.
