| Description |
This collaboration of eight singularly innovative artists from Israel, Ukraine, New York, New Orleans and the Bay Area is the first of what is envisioned as a series of ritual performances exploring tradition, creativity, time, environment through art and music. They all share a deep commitment to traditional music, ranging from Mississippi Delta blues, to Ukrainian village ballads, as well as Yiddish, Mizrahi, Ladino, cantorial and klezmer musical expression, and in imaginative ways, have used their talent to take these forms in creative new directions. Almost all of them have worked together before in different configurations. This new ensemble will debut in this World Premiere that will be the result of a week-long artist residency. The Ark: Avi Avital (Israel); Mariana Sadovska (Ukraine); Frank London, Aaron Alexander (New York); Glenn Hartman (New Orleans); Jewlia Eisenberg, John Schott, Stuart Brotman, Jessica Ivry (Bay Area). Co-Presented by the Eugene & Elinor Friend Center for the Arts, JCCSF
