ellenkushnerI'm going to this one on Thursday, because it features an amazing buncha folks you could only get together in NYC:
Thursday, October 25th 8 p.m.
Second Annual Yiddish Sing-along at Rodef Shalom
7 West 83rd Street.
Featuring: Robert Abelson / Michael Alpert / Phyllis Berk / Joanne Borts / Caroline Chanin / Adrienne Cooper / Ron Eliran / Debbie Friedman / Michael Fox / Rebecca Garfein / Sarah Gordon / Reyna Schaechter / Basya Schechter / Elizabeth Schwartz / Lorin Sklamberg / The Strauss-Warschauer Duo
And I screwed up and forgot to tell you about this concert (which was tonight) in time, but I want you (even non-New Yorkers!) to know about this project, as I'm sure there'll be an album eventually. I heard her do one piece from it last weekend, and it really is "Leonard Cohen meets Kurt Weill - meets Basya Shechter." Basya is a powerful, exciting & eclectic musician with heart & soul, and you should get on her mailing list. She's also on MySpace with music.
World Premiere of Basya Schechter of Pharaoh’s Daughter musical interpretation of selected poems from Abraham Joshua Heschel’s diary—one of modern Judaism’s greatest spiritual authors—written between 1927 and 1933 which appeared in Warsaw when Heschel was only 26 years old from his time living in Berlin. The show is a powerful song cycle; mixing elements of Leonard Cohen meets Pharaoh’s Daughter with the themes reflecting the foundations of Heschel’s beliefs—struggles with radical spiritual striving to cure the world’s ills. Musical direction Uri Sharlin, with Frank London - trumpet, Megan Weeder – violin and Yoed Nir. - cello, basya schechter – guitar, voice
