The Amadeus Project (http://www.theamadeusproject.org/events.php) is pleased to present "Heavy Mettle: From Shtetl to Tin Pan Alley," a multimedia music concert by Millie & the Mentshn.
Join us for an evening of exciting music and heartwarming stories in conjunction with a one-of-a-kind slide show.
Millie & the Mentshn is a group of classically trained musicians who play world music that ranges from Prokofiev to Gershwin to Latin to dance-in-the-aisle Klezmer. Audiences of all cultural backgrounds enjoy the unusual combination of instruments, the intricate harmonies, and the variety of musical styles and traditions.
"Heavy Mettle: From Shtetl to Tin Pan Alley" follows the history of Klezmer musicians from the late 1800s through the 1900s as they assimilate into the New World.
Program Description:
The Jews left the shtetls of Eastern Europe and arrived in the New World bearing the gift of Klezmer. The music they had passed down from generation to generation over centuries quickly blended with the sounds in their host country. In Argentina it merged with tango. In the U.S. it fused with jazz, swing, Dixieland, and Gospel.
What became of the children in immigrant families such as Jacob and Israel Gershovitz, Israel Beiline, and Aliza Greenblatt and what was their influence on our current popular music? Surprises may be in store when their adopted New World names are revealed.
