On Sunday, February 5 IHC Music is thrilled to be hosting pianist Dr. Clare Longendyke for a premiere performance of her newest work, Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered. I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Longendyke, and have shared the interview below. We hope you will join us on February 5 at 4:00pm for what is sure to be a thrilling concert.
The short answer is that I am a classical concert pianist. The long answer: I am a pianist, chamber musician, orchestral soloist, recitalist, entrepreneur, fundraiser, network builder, advocate, new-music pianist, old-music pianist... and the list goes on! I grew up in Chicago and Minneapolis and have lived in Paris, Boston, Los Angeles, and now, Indiana. I moved to the Hoosier State in 2011 to do my Master's and later Doctor of Music at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. I straddled the line between performer, college professor, and arts administrator for several years before taking the leap in 2022 and dedicating my career full time to performance. Some highlights that I am most proud of and looking forward to this season are my four performances with orchestras in Tennessee, Virginia, and Minnesota, and the premiere of my newest large-scale performance piece, Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered, which is the result of the Faith, Justice, and the Arts grant from St. Paul's Indy.
What can audiences expect to hear at your performance at IHC on Sunday, February 5? Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered is an hourlong multimedia work that involves four newlycommissioned solo piano pieces by living composers Rex Isenberg, Emily Koh, Reinaldo Moya, and Nkeiru Okoye; a new film by Indianapolis filmmaker Deonna Weatherly and Weatherhouse Company; and spoken word readings.
The premise of the project is to create a multimovement work that includes multiple artistic forms and perspectives to address issues of social justice/injustice. To that end, I chose five collaborators for whom social advocacy is an integral part of their creative process. The new works of music and film that have resulted from the project individually synthesize grief, hope, the silencing of immigrants, and the search for solace in a troubled world, and together create a thoughtprovoking and captivating work of art that I hope will speak to each listener in a unique way.
My goal for Requiem audiences is that the performance experience opens a safe space to listen deeply, to learn from new and potentially unfamiliar perspectives, and to reflect on our actions, decisions, and self. By using music performance as a vehicle for education and transformative change, I hope that each performance of Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered inspires listeners to care more deeply about the individual members of their communities and the issues that prohibit every human from being treated equally. I hope that experiencing the piece compels listeners to act in ways that foster a more inclusive, just, and peaceful society for every human.
Grief was the inspiration for this project: The grief I felt when I was deep in thought, the grief I felt while I was practicing, or in conversation with my husband, or speaking with colleagues and collaborators during the pandemic. The feeling of uselessness that overwhelmed me when I would open my New York Times app every morning, and then question how my life as a concert pianist was making any difference in a world filled with hatred, unkindness, violence, and destruction. We all saw it happening around us during the pandemic the rotating media cycles that sparked fear, the growing distance between humans, the crumbling of our planet with no clear direction for how to stop or slow it down. I needed a way out, a spark of inspiration, during that time, and it came in the form of creating new work.
I have been actively commissioning new works from living composers since I was a student at Indiana University, with renewed fervor since the 2020 pandemic shut-down of live performances. My response to the shut-down was to commission a pipeline of new piano works that I would eventually be able to premiere and perform as part of my regular programming. Since March 2020, I have commissioned 11 new pieces from femaleidentifying composers and composers of color. Why composers from these groups? Because a large part of my platform involves sharing the space that I am granted on the stage with composers who have historically been excluded from the classical music arena. As a Jewish American woman, I feel this imbalance as I fight for my rightful place in a field that is dominated by men. I have found my "tribe," so to say, amongst other creators who call out injustice and inequity as freely as I choose to.
When I commission composers, I offer them carte blanche to compose that which feels most pressing and right for that moment. To that end, I offered Rex, Emily, Nkeiru, Reinaldo, and Deonna the parameters within which my Requiem was being constructed, but asked them to speak to an issue or feeling that resonated most deeply with them. The results of that approach have been pure and authentic collaborations in which each creator was able to synthesize their own grief of the events of the past three years both global and personal in a way that felt right for them. That the composers trusted me to bring these deep feelings to life in my performances is a meaningful acknowledgement to me as an artist.
Having known you for a couple of years now, I am in awe of your commitment to social justice through the arts. How are your selections influenced by fair representation of all backgrounds?
Since 2020, I have been intentional in ensuring that every program I perform, no matter the audience or time of year, is balanced in terms of gender, race, and cultural representation. This has meant that much of my programming highlights unfamiliar composers and living composers, which can be exciting, if daunting, to audiences who are only familiar with music from the classical canon: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms. But by including great works by these wonderful composers of the past alongside a more representative body of classical music by composers and creators of color, female composers, queer composers, and more, I believe that I am able to make a difference in my audience's understanding of the make-up of classical music creators. As classical musicians, we are fighting against the stigma that our genre was created only by dead white men (sort of true), for elite, rich audiences (only sometimes true), and created by white performers (absolutely untrue). I believe that when classical music programs offer more representation, they will be more likely to draw more diverse audiences We are far from making that a reality, but I am proud that this program, and many others that I perform, illustrate the beautiful diversity of artists working in the classical music and film industries
See Clare perform Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation on Sunday, February 5 at 4:00pm.
More than 500 people helped our temple celebrate 166 years since its founding as well as IHC's 12+ year partnership with Rabbi Krichiver in November It kicked off with Celebration Shabbat services and Oneg Shabbat on November 4
Mother nature had different plans when it came to the second part of our celebration, Stand Up for IHC on November 5 Initially scheduled for Goldman Union Camp Institute, it is fitting that this night of comedy, charity, and community ended up being held within the walls of IHC
Rabbi Krichiver joined comedian Joel Chasnoff to emcee the evening, which raised more than $75,000 All of that money supports IHC as it continues to be a Jewish co congregants matter, are ins through Jewish values, and in a meaningful way

It's Wine O'Clock Somewhere Mahjongg Mavens Mental Health Newish to Jewish Take a Hike... Together Young Couples Young Family Adventure
IHC members Monica Allardt and Paula Reiss lead two of these groups- Young Family Adventure Circle and Newish to Jewish Circle. Read as they explain the inspiration behind leading their prospective Circle.
"
and establishment of this circle goes to my amazing co-lead, Lily Zurkovsky She began this Circle at a time when the pandemic seemed as though it would never end. I know, for myself, this Circle gave me and my family a way to get out of the house in a safe way. This was so important, at the time. I know I wasn’t alone when I say it was a time when we were craving human connection, but it was also still anxiety inducing to leave the house We were able to get to know other members of congregation and made us feel a sense of normalcy again
Paula Reiss- Newish to Jewish "I was inspired to create the Newish to Jewish Circle because of all the wonderful people at IHC who helped me navigate my own journey It occurred to me that I was probably not alone in this! Being a connector sort of person, I thought I'd like to try connecting interested people on their journeys (whatever that looks like) with some of the people who helped me along the way. It's a Circle that welcomes folks who are curious about Jewish customs and traditions - and maybe would like to make some new friendships along the way! Our first gathering was at Roland and Patti Freeman Dorson’s home Patti led a cooking class where we made latkes and homemade applesauce We also learned how to light the menorah Some attendees were in the process of converting or had recently converted; some were spouses or partners, and a few came just to find out what it was all about. This Circle is important to me because I started my own journey at Patti's house doing exactly this a few years ago! I simply wanted to find out what Hanukkah was all about I was so warmly welcomed that I just kept signing up to learn more, and now, here I am a member, leading a Circle!"
When Lily identified that the congregation had more of a need for activities geared toward young children/ families, I was happy to step in and help out. I hope this Circle continues to provide families with opportunities to get out of the house, play, explore and socialize. This Circle has certainly helped me feel more connected to the IHC community and I hope it can provide that sense of belonging for someone else "

Celebrations: An Indianapolis Children's Choir performance
The ICC’s Master Chorale joins the Anderson Area Youth Chorale to present two uplifting major choral works accompanied by an orchestra.
Vincent Persichetti’s Celebrations sets Walt Whitman’s poetry to music as it explores the resilience and optimism of the human spirit. Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms is an exciting composition based on text from the Hebrew Psalms. This concert also honors ICC's graduating seniors as the choir dedicates and performs some of their favorite choral pieces to celebrate the fun, friendships, and experiences that the ICC offers its singers over the years.
The Jewish Book Club is a great way for book lovers to enjoy getting to know each other through lively discussion about great books with Jewish and literary value.
The book club meets on Zoom, and occasionally in person, at 12:00pm on the second Tuesday of each month. If you would like to take part, please email IHC librarian Evelyn Pockrass for additional details.
Read below to learn more about the selections for January- June in 2023.
During a period of six years, starting in 2015, when Stella Levi was 92 years old, Michael Frank visited her on 100 Saturdays while she recounted excerpts from her extraordinary life: growing up in the Juderia (the Jewish community on the Aegean island of Rhodes), through the beginnings of World War Two, the 1944 Nazi deportation of more than 1,600 members of the Juderia, the concentration camps, and later her long life in the United States.
Anna, Molly, and Raisa – they are the mother, daughter, and granddaughter affected by an unusual attempt to reverse the 1986 meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. Barenbaum writes of nuclear physics, comic books, folklore and pop culture in a saga spanning several locations and decades. This is a time travel novel so be prepared to go back and forth in time and place.
Set mostly in New Orleans and New York City, and based on the heritage of the authors, “threads” is an insightful story of Black and White experiences during the Civil War. Stella weaves maps for enslaved men, including her beloved William, to escape and join a Union army camp in Louisiana. In New York City, Lily makes quilts and rolls bandages in support of her husband, Jacob, and other Union soldiers. Eventually the couples meet and look toward a brighter future.
Featuring an Israeli intelligence officer as the main character, here is a contemporary twist on the Dead Sea Scrolls and religious fringe groups. Frankel, who had been a longtime editor-in-chief of the Jewish Publication Society, combines ancient history about the Copper Scroll with modern Israel, evangelical beliefs in the messiah, and life in the Jewish state then and now. In this fast-paced work of fiction, the author’s note may be read first as it provides important historical background.
In occupied Rome during World War Two, an American soldier, Courtney, saves the life of a young, traumatized Jewish girl. The soldier is from the small town of Starlight, Indiana. Several decades later (after Courtney died), Courtney’s family learns about his connection to this child, who later became a famous ballet star, and her appreciation of his life-saving action. They also learn of an outstanding English ballerina and the role of Syndrome K, an invented disease that Italian medical personnel used to prevent the Nazis from going to certain hospital wards where Jewish “patients” were in hiding.
A sci-fi novel, taking place in 2083, when aliens arrive in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, with a mission to convince humans to leave the climate-ravaged earth or die, has a diverse cast of characters and locations. Emrys’ human world includes an America of divided watersheds and networks. Judy Wallach-Stevens is tasked with trying to keep the peace among the humans while negotiating with the aliens, some of whom are trying to kidnap human children. Among other contacts cited, Emrys imagines a creative, introspective Passover seder hosted by humans with aliens in attendance.
