An evening exploring new and recent work by composers of The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life’s Jewish Composers' Working Group. Mirroring the working groups’ eclectic discourse over its 6-months of meeting, the music of this concert engages with a broad variety of themes including prayer, place, story-telling, tragedy, and comedy.
Works featured include arias from new and recent operas by Joseph Rubinstein, Daniel Schlosberg, and Rachel J. Peters; works for electronics and violin by Lainie Fefferman and Guy Barash with special guest violinist Cornelius Dufallo; Yiddish and Hebrew art songs by Alex Weiser, Karen Siegel and Jeremiah Lockwood; and presentations from Chaiele (Kaia Berman Peters)’s Kleztronica project and Izzy Gliksberg’s Niggun Project with Meir Briskman.
