JOURNEY WITH MY JEWISHNESS with Amit Peled A powerful and compelling program following renowned cellist Amit Peled’s personal, musical, and spiritual journey. From his childhood growing up in a small kibbutz in Israel and listening to his mother singing the traditional tune “Eli Eli,” to playing Max Bruch’s “Kol Nidrei” as a young cellist and personally connecting with the Yom Kippur message, Peled explores the desire to balance tradition, identity, and self-expression. Among other works, the program features Mark Kopytman’s heart-wrenching “Kaddish” and Ernest Bloch’s beloved three scenes “From Jewish Life.”
After performing in major concert halls such as Carnegie Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall, and Tel Aviv’s Mann Auditorium, we are privileged to have Peled joins us in the Goldman Theater. Peled will be performing with the historic Goffriller cello (1733) that belonged to the legendary musician Pablo Casals.

DAY OF EDUCATION ON ARAB CITIZENS OF ISRAEL Featuring Flutist Mais Hriesh and Violinist Tal First
Sponsored by the Greater Washington Forum on Israeli Arab Issues Lead Support Provided by the Naomi and Nehemiah Cohen Foundation Two of the top musicians from the Polyphony Foundation—which works to create shared musical experiences for Arab and Jewish youth—join us for a concert featuring an array of classical work including the beautiful, flashy and exquisitely detailed Andante and Rondo by Franz Doppler. Following their performance, the musicians will engage in a moderated conversation about the role of the arts in building shared society in Israel. Mais Hriesh is a flutist from Nazareth, who got her start playing with the Polyphony conservatory at age 13, and accompanied the Polyphony Ensemble on their first US tour in 2011. In 2016, she studied with Claudia Stein and Pirmin Grehl in Berlin and late that year performed solos with Polyphony under the direction of Zubin Mehta and Saleem Ashkar. Today, Hriesh is an active chamber music player, orchestra player as well as a soloist, and is completing her studies at Bard College. Tal First is a violinist who began his studies at age 6 with Mr. Geri Ferber, before continuing his education at the Thelma Yellin School of Arts, and the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music. He received a Israel Philharmonic Orchestra Scholarship, and served as an “outstanding musician” in the IDF. First has performed as a soloist with the Thelma Yellin Symphony Orchestra, the Galilee Symphony Orchestra and is a cmember of the West Eastern Divan Orchestra, conducted by Daniel Barenboim. He is currently studying at the Juilliard School with Mr. Li Lin. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5

Levine Music faculty commemorate Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, a work of faith born in the midst of war, famine, and genocide.

YASMIN LEVY & THE KLEZMATICS Two wellsprings of Jewish music come together in one amazing evening! This culturally and sonically rich lineup pays homage to traditional Jewish music from around the world. World music singer Yasmin Levy, born in Jerusalem, is best known as a Ladino singer.
Ladino is an archaic form of Spanish with strong ties to Sephardic Jewish culture. Levy sings in modern Spanish as well, often adding flamenco, Turkish, and Persian flair to her interpretations. The Grammy-winning Klezmatics are superstars of the klezmer world. They have released nine albums of wild, spiritual, provocative, reflective, and ecstatically danceable music. Presented in Partnership with Strathmore
“Yasmin Levy fans the flames of a smouldering musical tradition” –Sunday Times [London] “The Klezmatics aren’t just the best band in the klezmer vanguard; on a good night, they can rank among the greatest bands on the planet.” –Time Out New York TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7

KLEZMER WITH BACON: Seth Kibel & Christylez Bacon
Seth Kibel is an award-winning woodwind specialist, wowing audiences on saxophone, clarinet, and flute, playing jazz, klezmer, and a whole lot more. Christylez Bacon is a Grammy-nominated progressive hip-hop artist who multi-tasks between various instruments such as the West African djembe drum, acoustic guitar, and the human beat-box (oral percussion), all while continuing the oral tradition of storytelling through his lyrics. Tonight, they team up for the world-premiere of their new hip hop-klezmer fusion project.
CONTRA PONTE PROJECT
WJMF Artist-in-Residence Simone Baron presents a concert of Jewish-Brazilian-Jazz fusion alongside Brazilian artists of international renown, spanning national styles that include choro (from Jewish composers such as Jacob de Bandolim), forro/baiao, samba, bossa nova, and more.

ANDY STATMAN TRIO & ANDY’S RAMBLE BLUEGRASS QUARTET
Andy Statman performs a two-set show with his brand new Jewish music trio, featuring him on accordion and clarinet, which leads off a double bill caped by his bluegrass quartet. Had there been a planetarium in 19th-century Galicia, or a kosher deli in Depression-era Kentucky, Andy Statman’s music might have been playing in the background. Meandering through time, geography, and culture in a few passionate, organic gusts of music, neither the man nor his inimitable hybrid sound has a very clearly defined “before” or “after.” Statman, one of his generation’s premier mandolinists and clarinetists, thinks of his compositions as a spontaneous, American-roots form of very personal, prayerful hasidic music, by way of avant-garde jazz.
