--------------------------------------------
The Hasid has been given a key to open the gates of Heaven. And what is this
key? The nigun. --Rabbi Naftuli of Ropshitz
Internationally acclaimed Klezmer personalities Michael Alpert, Sruli
Dresdner and Lisa Mayer invite you to join us for an intimate program of
old-world Hasidic music and dance. In a performance that breaks the wall
between artist and audience, participants gather with us to share the joyful
and transcendent nigunim of Hasidic communities around the world.
---------------------------
Michael Alpert has been a pioneering figure in the renaissance of East
European music and dance since its inception over twenty years ago, and is
internationally known for his performances and recordings with Brave Old
World, Kapelye, Khevrisa, and many other groups. He was musical director of
the PBS Great Performances special “Itzhak Perlman: In the Fiddler’s
House”
and he is noted for his original Yiddish songs on contemporary themes.
Sruli Dresdner and Lisa Mayer have been called “Superb Musicians!” by the
Los Angeles Times. They perform and teach Klezmer and Hasidic music at
festivals, synagogues and concert halls throughout North America. They have
been featured on PBS, Showtime, National Public Radio and in NYC’s Folksbiene
Yiddish Theatre. “Besides being a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist, Sruli
draws on his childhood background in Hasidism to bring a vibrant spirituality
to his playing. Lisa too, transcends. She is a dynamic soloist.” Seth
Rogovoy, Author, The Essential Klezmer.
