Charming Hostess in Concert

The Ginzburg Geography is a musical performance based on the life and work of Italian anti-fascists Natalia and Leone Ginzburg. Exploring their journeys of love, resistance, exile, and liberation through the mediums of music and radical cartography, The Ginzburg Geography features new music composed and performed by Charming Hostess and developed from the writings of the Ginzburgs as well as from the Italian regional traditions of Turin, Abruzzo and Rome, places central to the their lives. This performance will include music from Italian Jewish liturgy, the oldest and most remote in Europe, as well as Italian anti-fascist songs, and work chants to resistance anthems.

Charming Hostess is a music ensemble at the intersection of voice, text and diaspora consciousness. Founded by Jewlia Eisenberg in 1998, our mission is to make lovely noise about complex ideas. We draw from the sounding body, mostly voices and winds, handclaps and heartbeats, sex-breath and silence. Individual voices and communal experiences come together to create a dialogic, multi-faceted whole.

ONE CONCERT ONLY - Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 9PM concert has been cancelled.

Charming Hostess is the finest anarchist-feminist-polyphonic-polyrhythmic-polymorphously perverse-balkan-blue-ish-Jewish-freak-funk-punk band working in America today. Their live shows are as fabulous and eccentric as their music.
