Folk Music Society 3 temples, ‘Hanukkah, showcase on Dec. 1 With A Twist’ show A special Members Invitational Showcase is set for Saturday, Dec. 1 as part of The Folk Music Society of Huntington’s monthly First Saturday Concerts’ series. The 8:30 p.m. concert at the Congregational Church of Huntington (30 Washington Drive, off Route 25A, in Centerport) will feature Long Island-based singer-songwriters Cassandra House, Joe Iadanza, Nico Padden, Steve Robinson, and Toby Tobias. The concert will be preceded by an open mic at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, priced at $25 ($20 for FMSH members), may be purchased in advance online at www.fmsh.org, using a credit card, or at the door (cash and checks only). House’s unique sound has been described as soulful, earnest and raw. She has shared the stage with such talents as Amy Helm and the Handsome Strangers, Shannon McNally, G. Love, Lucy Kaplansky, Jen Chapin and Todd Scheaffer of Railroad Earth. Her latest album is called The Roam. Recalling Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen, Iadanza’s music is rooted in classic folk. After coming on the music scene in 2007, he has released three albums, the most recent, The Social Music House, Vol. 1, was nominated by Folk Alli-
ance International and the National Folk DJs for album of the year. Padden’s original music and voice have been compared to the likes of Alanis Morisette, Brandi Carlile, and Ingrid Michaelson. Her rich, heartfelt songs and soulful voice are crowd-pleasers everywhere she performs. A multi-instrumentalist, Padden shifts effortlessly between accompanying herself on guitar, ukulele and the piano. Winner of the 2007 Long Island Blues Society’s Blues Challenge, Robinson is a native Long Islander and self-taught guitarist who has developed his own unique finger style combining driving rhythms with tasteful licks. Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, Tobias has immersed himself in many genres of American music while never leaving behind his roots in the rhythms and melodies of his homeland. His keen ear for intuitive arrangements is a hallmark of his writing and performance, and he has garnered a strong following on Long Island and in the tri-state area. For more information on the artists and the concert featuring folk, folk-rock, Americana, and blues stylings, visit www.fmsh.org or call 631-425-2925.
On Sunday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m., members of the congregations of Lake Success Jewish Center and Temple Isaiah will join the congregants at Temple Emanuel of Great Neck for a jointly sponsored, special holiday show celebrating Hanukkah. The program includes everyone’s favorite Hanukkah songs, in addition to standards from the American Songbook, and Broadway favorites The 1st Annual “Hanukkah, With A Twist” program features Susan Agin, touted by many as a great talent in both Jewish and secular music, Danny Bacher, a dynamic entertainer with world-class talents in music and theater, and “America’s Got Talent” comedian Steven Scott. Backed by a live band, all members of the community are invited to partake in some Hanukkah happiness with this inspired powerhouse trio. Agin has the distinct honor of not only being an accomplished performer, but also a highly respected arts administrator. As such, she’s a true “theatre professional,” who understands and appreciates the challenges and triumphs both on the stage, and behind the scenes. She is known throughout the metropolitan area for her celebrated musical comedy style of performing, and can be seen performing in popular New York live music venues such as Feinstein’s 54 Below, 92nd Street Y, Saint Peter’s Church, Don’t Tell Mama’s, and the 45th Street Theater, as well as in regional theaters and community centers including Bay Street Theater, John W. Engeman Theater, Adelphi University, Temple Emanuel of Great Neck, and the Merrick Center for the Arts. She adds to her achievements “recording artist” for being granted the opportunity to record “One Song,” written by multi-award winner Marvin Hamlisch, which critics have referred to as “the anthem for all people.” Agin is currently the executive and artistic director of the Queensborough Performing Arts Center in Bayside. Bacher is a singer, saxophonist, songwriter and consummate performer. The New York Times calls him “a prodigiously talented musical preservationist.”
Susan Agin Bacher is a dynamic entertainer with world-class talents in music, theater, and comedy. His clean, crisp delivery is reminiscent of the true greats in entertainment. An engaging stage presence, a smooth-as-silk voice, and the gift of a storyteller all come together to complete this package. Add to that his saxophone prowess and you have one of the hottest musicians on the scene today. Bacher has been a fixture on the New York stage in venues like Birdland, Town Hall, The Blue Note, Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and he has toured internationally. As seen on TV and stages from Broadway to the Las Vegas Strip, Scott is a comedian, actor and host whose unique and tasteful brand of comedy combines clever observations of his everyday life with his amazing vocal talent, which includes an array of characters, voices and sounds ranging from celebrities to musical instruments. Once described as a perfect mix between Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carrey, Scott loves getting paid now to do exactly what used to get him into trouble as a kid. He has performed with some of the biggest names in show business, both onstage and on screen, including comedy clubs, TV and radio shows and his recent standing ovation appearances on “America’s Got Talent.” Admission is free. Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane. Call 516-482-5701 for further information.
Hofstra dance concert features ‘Psalm’ A suite from “Psalm,” a dance originally choreographed by José Limón in 1967, will be performed as part of the Fall Dance Concert presented by Hofstra University’s Dance Program on Friday, Nov. 30 through Sunday, Dec. 2. Limón (1908-1972) was praised by The New York Times as the “finest male dancer of his time.” He created “Psalm” as a tribute to the Jews who died in World War II. Restaged by Adjunct Professor Pablo Francisco Ruvalcaba, a former dancer
with the Limón Dance Company, the dance is based on the ancient tradition that the sorrows of the world rest with 36 “Just Men” (in Hebrew, Lamed-Vov). These men are ordinary mortals who are unaware of their station. It is believed that if even one of them were to go missing or stop being righteous, mankind would perish. This dance is the history of one such “Just Man” or, in this performance, a “Just Woman.” Other featured dances in Hofstra Fall Dance include: “Journey Hof18,” a fun
and energetic piece in abstract form using repetitive, unified, athletic, funky and very technical movement; “Tribute,” a tribute to music and dance icons who have passed on, leaving this world a much brighter place; and “Last Call,” a term usually heard at the end of the evening at a bar before closing, but in this performance represents transformative periods in the dancer’s lives. The Fall Dance Concert takes place at the Toni and Martin Sosnoff Theater at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse.
Show times are 8 p.m. on Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $10; $8 for senior citizens (over 65) or matriculated, non-Hofstra students with I.D.Members of the Hofstra community receive two free tickets upon presentation of a current HofstraCard. For tickets call the Hofstra Box Office at 516-463-6644 Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. or purchase online at Hofstratickets.com. If available, tickets will also be sold at the door starting 90 minutes prior to show time.
