Before the big klezmer bands of the new world arose with their brass and drums, there were the archetypical Jewish orchestras of the old world, led by the fiddle and borne aloft by the otherworldy sounds of the harp-like 'tsimbl', or Jewish hammered dulcimer. Renowned violinist Alicia Svigals, a founder of the Klezmatics and the world's foremost klezmer fiddler, presents a program of those ancient and ecstatic Jewish melodies, accompanied by the scene's top players on fiddle, tsimbl and string bass.

Boston Performing Artists for Peace Present: A Benefit Concert for Civilian Victims of the Israeli-Lebanese Conflict
8 P.M. August 7,
at Emmanuel Church, Newbury St., Boston
All proceeds to be forwarded to nonpartisan humanitarian relief / FREE ADMISSION, donations requested
An ad-hoc coalition of prominent Boston-area performers will be singing, playing, and declaiming at a free concert on Monday, August 7, all in an effort to raise funds for civilian victims of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
“This event will be non-sectarian, non-partisan and non-political,” insists Boston Camerata director Joel Cohen, one of the event’s organizers. “But it is clear that all of the participants, like so many of us in the public at large, are horrified by this recent violence. We want to do something to help those who suffer from it.”
“We have gotten different segments of the Boston arts community working together on this,” continues co-producer Kareem Roustom, a Syrian-American composer and member of the Sharq Arab-American ensemble. “We’ll have topnotch performers representing theatre, classical and early music, Arabic, Sephardic-Jewish, and Turkish styles, as well as American music. We’ve discovered that many performing artists want to be a part of this. So many of us want to contribute what we can.”
The performance roster, still incomplete as other artists are added, includes Anne Azéma, Jeremy Geidt, Mehmet Sanlikol, Craig Smith, and Benjamin Zander.
