Dialects: Israeli Jazz & Klezmer
Thursday, September 18, 2008 8:00 pm | purchase tickets
The first of three concerts in celebration of Israel’s 60th, we present two of the best examples of the new face of American/Israeli music. Trumpeter Frank London recovers the lost sounds of klezmer, taking the music back to its 19th-century roots with the Klezmer Brass All Stars.
And pianist Omer Klein, a rising star in the Israeli/New York jazz movement, offers a program of his deeply melodic, utterly original compositions, tinged with the sounds of the Middle East.
Joining Klein will be bassist Omer Avital and Ziv Ravitz on drums, and a special piece with string quartet commissioned specifically for this performance.
Single tickets: $30 (members $20)
This concert is co-sponsored by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation in honor of Israel’s 60th Birthday. To learn more about AICF and their scholarship recipients performing in this concert, please visit their website.
