A unique performance in the four-day program
Back to Babylon: 2600 Years of Jewish Life in Iraq, November 2-5, 2006,
Exploring the venerable and multifaceted culture of Iraqi Jewry
www.americansephardifederation.org< During the first half of the 20th century, Jews were virtually the only
instrumentalists in the Iraqi musical scene. All the musicians from Iraq
who attended the first Arabic music congress in Cairo in 1932 were
Jewish (but one). With the exile of the Jewish community in the 1950’s,
many famous Iraqi Jewish musicians immigrated to Israel.
Their legacy is still strong today, both in the preservation of the
traditional Iraqi Maqam, and in its influence on contemporary Israeli
music.
New Yiddish Rep presents:
Straight from the former Soviet Union
Psoy Oy Oy!!!
At home in the global diaspora, four fun filled evenings of
stories, songs and mishigass, with poet-singer-songwriter-
performance artist and fellow traveler Psoy Korolenko. To Psoy
the Jewish experience is not only a personal story, but also a
metaphor of transcultural identity and ultimate otherness. He
sings and tumults in English, Russian, French, and Yiddish.

From the friends of Jewish music in Geneva:
Chers amis,
Vous avez aimé le premier ciné-concert l’an passé? Vous l’avez manqué? Dans les deux
cas, vous allez adorer le deuxième ! En effet, l’AMJ et Ciné-Versoix sont fiers
d’inviter à nouveau -et en première mondiale- le
Sound and Light Cinematic Duo
pour un spectacle exceptionnel présentant un long métrage ukrainien (1h43′), réalisé
en 1926 par A.D. Anoshenko, et qui sera accompagné “live” par 2 musiciens klezmer
anglais:
Merlin Shepherd (clarinettes) et Polina Shepherd (piano).
Synopsis: L’amour naît entre un aristocrate polonais et une humble femme juive,
arrivée à Kiev avec son vieux père. La bonne société polonaise condamne cette union
et tente de l’empêcher. Tous les ingrédients de l’intrigue shakespearienne sont
réunis dans des scènes d’une force visuelle percutante où se succèdent corruption,
calomnie, trahison, bal masqué, réunion secrète, condamnation à mort et exil.…

conteur enthousiaste enraciné dans la culture et les traditions judéo-polonaises et
