Alisa Rose is a multi-style violinist and fiddler, composer and educator, and in this episode we're shining a light on her wonderful new album with mandolinist Tristan Scroggins, Speranza. You'll hear about how she found her way to such an interesting and diverse career from learning Old-Time music from retired farmers in Wisconsin as a child to classical training with the legendary Camilla Wicks at the San Francisco Conservatory, where she's come full circle as a teacher.

Fern Lindzon is a Canadian multi-style pianist, vocalist, composer and improvisor. She recently released a great album with her newjazz trio project Tryptique with Colleen Allen and George Koller ,and we're featuring music from that album as well as some of her other work, including her Juno-nominated album Two Kites. We talked about her mother, the artist Rose Lindzon, many mentors and influences including Don Thompson, Alan Bern and Marilyn Lerner, and several of Fern's projects including creating silent film music, Klezmer with the Sisters of Sheynville, and her new project of learning the expressive electronic instrument the Haken Continuum.

Happy holidays, everyone. We're bringing you a hacked classic to tide you over while Scott and I take a break to relax and gear up for the new year to hit us like a ton of bricks. This is one of my favorites from a couple of years ago, back in the halcyon days of June 2022—an interview with music professor Meryl Goldberg that I still think about. It's got Cold War intrigue, hidden codes, and Klezmer music. Honestly, I want to make a movie about it, so if your 2025 wishlist includes setting a bunch of money on fire producing a film, let me know. Hope you had a happy holiday and a festive new year. Safe travels if you're on the road, and if you're home, I hope you're relaxing. Enjoy The Phantom Orchestra. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ida Gillner is very special musician based in Sweden, and in this episode you'll hear the powerful story of her personal journey, embracing different cultures, and also the comforting power of music.  Ida is a multi-instrumentalist and composer; her main instruments are soprano saxophone, piano and voice.  In the first part of this episode we focus on her project Shtolstse lider, her songs set to the poetry of some of Yiddish's greatest women writers. You'll hear about Ida's childhood on the island of Asperö, forging her own path in different world music traditions, and  the Finnish tango group Anna Heikkinen and Längtans Kapell.  We also talked about her solo album “Anna” dedicated to her sister, and how the process of writing and recording this healing music comforted her through the shock of her family's loss. I have included detailed timestamps for all the topics covered and for the music, and you'll find links to Ida and her musical projects below.

I was honored to be able to record this wide-ranging interview with violinist Yale Strom, who is the leading ethnographer-artist of Klezmer music and history, and also has done many years of research among the Roma communities. He speaks to us about some of his many inspiring experiences during over 75 research expeditions to Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. To prepare for this episode, I read several of his books, including his 400 page The Book of Klezmer: The History, The Music, The Folklore, some of which we touched on during this conversation, and he also spoke about two of his upcoming books and other projects. Yale is an energetic and prolific creator; he's also a filmmaker, photographer, educator, playwright and composer, and we spoke about many of his projects during this wide-ranging interview.  Timestamps below. https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/yale-strom Video Transcript Yale Strom Website To support this series, please either buy me a coffee or shop at my merchandise store Newsletter sign-up You may be also interested in these episodes:  Alicia Svigals (both episodes linked) Polina Shepherd, Josh “Socalled” Dolgin, and Marilyn Lerner.   Timestamps:  (00:00) Intro (02:29) Yale's career as ethnographer-artist (04:03) Stoliner shul concert in Detroit Victory Fellowship Baptist Church (10:44)  Oberek Palota, Klezmer music from Slovakia, from the album “Borsht with Bread, Brothers” with Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi (14:34) ethnographic research, Wandering Feast book, Yiddish, meeting Holocaust survivors (24:43)The Witches of Lublin (27:26) Dire Gelt from The Devil's Brides with Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi, vocals with Elizabeth Schwartz (31:10) Yale Strom's films The Last Klezmer, A Great Day in Eldridge Street, the Man from Munkasc, An American Socialist, the Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs (35:09)Leopold Kozlowski, The Last Klezmer, Naftuli Brandwein (39:33) Rom musicians, book Uncertain Roads, Searching for the Gypsies, connections with the Jews (49:46) Klezmer loshn secret language and culture (58:46) the lost Stoliner Weinstein manuscript, upcoming book  (01:07:02) other episodes with Klezmer musicians and ways to support this series (01:07:42) Yale's compositions and commissions (01:17:28) Dave Tarras (01:22:19) Influences of Klezmer and Romani on Russian school of violin playing, Oistrach, Auer (01:29:25) Shimmering Lights album, Sara Caswell, influences of prayers on Klezmer (01:33:53) excerpt from Bashir Mizmor, Shimmering Lights album Yale Strom's Broken Consort, with Sara Caswell improv  (01:35:56) The Expulsion of the Jews, Sephardic communities research (01:43:33) Schlomo books, new musical about the Chagalls, Sweet Fragrance of Life

A NEW PERFORMANCE BY MORGAN BASSICHISWITH ORIGINAL MATERIAL BY FRANK MAYADIRECTED BY SAM PINKLETONMUSICAL RECREATIONS BY NATASHA JACOBSSCENIC RECREATION BY ELI WOODS HARRISONOctober 25–26, 2024In a desperate attempt to prove they can think about someone other than themself, Morgan Bassichis revisits queer comedian, musician, and performance artist Frank Maya's 1987 show, Frank Maya Talks. Maya was among the “first out gay comedians on network television” and on the precipice of mainstream success before his death from AIDS-related complications in 1995. This new “solo” performance humbly attempts to ensure Maya's legacy is no longer overlooked while also resolving the bottomless queer search for laughter in times of crisis and for fame and father figures and intense attachment dynamics no matter how fleeting.https://www.morganbassichis.com/ MORGAN BASSICHIS (They/Them) is a comedian, musician, and writer who has been called “a tall child or, well, a big bird” by The Nation and “fiercely hilarious” by The New Yorker. Their past performances include A Crowded Field (Abrons Arts Center, 2023), Questions to Ask Beforehand (Bridget Donahue, 2022), Don't Rain On My Bat Mitzvah (co-created with Ira Khonen Temple, Creative Time, 2021), Nibbling the Hand that Feeds Me (Whitney Museum, NYC, 2019), Klezmer for Beginners (co-created with Ethan Philbrick, Abrons Arts Center, NYC, 2019), Damned If You Duet (The Kitchen, NYC, 2018), More Protest Songs! (Danspace Project, NYC, 2018), and The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions: The Musical (co-created with TM Davy, DonChristian Jones, Michi Ilona Osato, and Una Aya Osato, New Museum, NYC, 2017).

En La Mancha se cultiva la uva airén, blanca y resistente, de la que luego se sacan excelentes vinos blancos, y en una de sus localidades más importante, Manzanares, en la provincia de Ciudad Real, una Asociación Cultural tomó hace veinte años el nombre de esa uva autóctona para buscar en la tradición musical, resistir, y defender el importante legado de ritmos y sonidos. “Al aire” se llama el disco que Airén editó hace tres años, y a él dedicamos el arranque del programa. Estrenamos después el disco de Cat Klezmer Trío, que junta la sonoridad de la música de los judíos asquenazis con la popular catalana. En la segunda parte de La Tarataña de hoy sábado 12 de octubre, despedimos a Dani Martín, que ha decidido dejar de ser parte del trío Ursaria. Este es listado de canciones del sábado: 1.- Airén, “La doncella guerrera” 1:10, “El día de los torneos” 4:07, “En el centro de la Mancha” 5:00 y “El pinchacito” 1:40 2.- Cat Klezmer Trío, “La Santa Espina” 1:33, “Les nenes maques” 2:41 y “El cant dels ocells” 2:213.- La Bojiganga, “Seguidillas de San Sebastián de los Reyes” 3:50, “Eres como la nieve” 4:06 y “Jota de Peñalba de la Sierra” 6:064.- Ursaria, “Retahíla para entidades alienígenas” 3:31 y “La Gandalla” 5:31Escuchar audio

Almost immediately, he found himself as sideman for notable locals such as Kermit Ruffins, Michael Ward and The Reward, and Sun Ra trumpeter, Michael Ray.  In 1992 he co-founded the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars(NOKAS), a pioneering klezmer ensemble that infused that music with the vibrancy and energy of the funk, jazz and brass music of New Orleans. To date he has had opportunity to play with most of New Orleans' greatest musicians from across all genres.  NOKAS was playing some of his compositions, but by 1993 he found himself seeking outlets for his compositions in other styles and forms.  After playing with a plethora of combos and experimenting with many great local musicians he formed Naked On The Floor and eventually The Naked Orchestra. Naked on the Floor (quintet) and the Naked Orchestra (18-24 piece creative orchestra) play Freilich's original compositions exclusively and still play regularly in New Orleans. He has appeared at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival 24 times as well as headlining the Berlin Jazz Festival with NOKAS. He has appeared at numerous other festivals inside and outside the country including Bonnaroo, the Ann Arbor Jazz Festival, The American Folklife festival at the Washington Monument, collaborations with poet, Andrei Codrescu at the Holocaust museum in NYC and many others. Other notable work includes appearances with Sam Rivers, Burton Greene, Marshall Allen, The Wild Magnolias and backing songwriters such as Robbie Robertson. He has done arrangements for a wide range of recordings from, Peter Stampfel to Hal Willner's presentation of U@ doing music of T-Rex. He is featured on over 21 recordings ranging from Klezmer to Afro-Cuban and avant-garde orchestra music. Recently he put out two CD's of a large orchestra playing his original compositions, a small group, and played on Marianne Faithfull's latest release.  Many of these recordings are either Big Easy or Offbeat entertainment award winners across a number of categories.  He also has music featured in films and TV shows (Andy Richter conquers the Universe, The Dukes of Hazzard(Warner Home Video) as well as commercials for companies such as Southwest Airlines and Mercedes.    n 2016 he produced and arranged an album, NOLA? for legendary Basque artist, Fermin Muguruza. Rearrangements of Muguruza's classic work utilizing the great players and sounds of New Orleans. That led to a very successful European run for the Basque New Orleans Orchestra. Other arranging credits include Hal Wilner and U2 tribute to T. Rex and Grammy Award winner, Peter Stampfel's 100 songs of the 20th century project.      His work includes 4 completed and performed operatic works: a comic-satirical opera, Bang the Law, about a couple of New Orleans lawyers and their movements through New Orleans class detritus after Hurricane Katrina, a two movement orchestral fantasy about Elias Cannetti at carnival, formation of a new quintet to play new original compositions, an octet reduction of Peter and the Wolf for a New Orleans Contemporary Art Center/Guggenheim foundation presentation; a second opera, ee me & cummings thee which premiered in New Orleans in Nov. 2011.   2019 saw the completion of two operas. One a hyper-collaborative project with writer, Bernard Pearce, The Coronation, on the selecting of queen bees. In June 2019 he wrote an operetta on the Dirty Letters of James Joyce to Nora Barnacle, titled Darling, Please do not be offended at what I wrote.  He is the subject of the one hour radio documentary Jonathan Freilich's Freedom Double-O Naked Klezmer Jazz Latin Boogaloo: The Radio Documentary by award winning documentarian, David Kunian and was the 2008 Louisiana Governors' Music Fellowship Award recipient.  This year he figured as a Rising Star guitarist in Downbeat's Critics Poll.  Freilich was born Oct.13, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pa.  He spent most of his early years, up until a late teenager in London, England before moving to Los Angeles in 1985.  Thereafter, he moved to Santa Cruz, Ca in 1987 before the 1989 move to New Orleans.  Currently, he is residing in Los Angeles after completing further studies in composition at California Institute of the Arts. Aside from music, Freilich is also a certified Iyengar yoga instructor and co-owner of a studio in New Orleans for many years.

As she prepares to release her long awaited second solo album Fidl Afire, Alicia Svigals sat down with Neil to share stories from her life as a major figure in the revival of Klezmer music. Listen in to hear about the early days of the Klezmatics, the creation of Svigals seminal first solo album Fidl, Itzhak Perlman's In the Fiddler's House and more!

Une princesse bantoue, des Hollandais aux semelles de vent, voilà 2 sessions live. Notre 1ère invitée est Pamela Badjogo pour la sortie de l'album YIÊH.Pamela Badjogo s'est indéniablement inscrite dans la lignée des grandes voix africaines. Son registre afro-pop, nu-highlife façon bantoue teinté d'une touche jazzy nous plonge dans l'effervescence des nuits agitées d'Afrique centrale, pimenté de textes servant les causes féministes.En 2024, l'artiste gabonaise dévoile son 3ème album Yieh. Dix titres introspectifs toujours profondément ancrés dans ses racines bantoues dans lesquels la langue française prendra davantage de place que dans les projets précédents. Un album doux et féminin qui met en lumière les forces parfois insoupçonnées de la Femme avec un grand F. Pamela Badjogo nous parle de lâcher prise tout en confirmant encore son statut de princesse des sonorités et traditions Bantu. Pour Yieh, elle s'est entourée de Kwame Yeboah, arrangeur des 2 derniers albums à succès du légendaire chanteur de high-life Pat Thomas, d'Aron Ottignon et Elisée Sangarée, mais également d'invités prestigieux dont Pat Thomas et Kelly Khumalo avec lesquels elle a partagé le micro.Après avoir fait ses classes aux côtés des plus grands comme choriste (Salif Keita, Oumou Sangaré, Cheick Tidiane, Matthieu Chedid, Tiken Jah Fakoly ou Danakil), elle prête sa voix dans « Kirikou & Karaba ». C'est en janvier 2016 que la princesse bantoue entame sa carrière solo avec un premier album intitulé Mes couleurs. Un véritable métissage entre sa culture bantoue du Gabon et les influences mandingues du Mali, son pays de cœur.En 2021, elle confirme sa signature musicale avec un deuxième album résolument afropop. Kaba signifie le partage fraternel en Ndzebi. Au-delà de la musique Pamela est très engagée pour la cause de la Femme. Dans ses paroles comme sur scène, elle a à cœur de dénoncer les oppressions que subissent les petites filles et les femmes au quotidien. Elle est porte-parole des Fées-ministres un collectif et présidente du collectif « Moussoya yé kobayé » qu'elle co-fonde avec Amie Yerewolo, une rappeuse engagée. En février 2017, elle prête sa voix pour la lutte contre le cancer aux côtés de Coumba Gawlo, Charlotte Dipanda, Rokia Traoré et Josey : « Pour nos soeurs et pour nos mères ». 2017-2018, elle est porte-parole du collectif les amazones d'Afrique. Depuis 2016, elle est marraine de l'école associative Karama, une association qui scolarise les enfants des rives du fleuve Niger au Mali.Pamela est née en 1982 à Libreville au Gabon où elle a grandi avant de s'installer au Mali en 2003 pour poursuivre ses études de microbiologie.

En plus de 25 ans, les sept musiciens se sont forgé leur propre son, mélange vibrant de klezmer, de musique balkanique, d'électro, de jazz, de rythmes manouches, orientaux et de hip hop. Une musique pleine d'énergie en constante évolution ouverte à tous les genres, les voyages ou les influences dans lesquels ils puisent avec allégresse. En 18 albums, le groupe aura joué dans les plus grands festivals d'Europe (Lowlands, North Sea Jazz Festival, Sziget…) mais aussi au Concertgebouw d'Amsterdam, au Wiener Konzerthaus, à la Cité de la Musique à Paris ou au festival de jazz de Hong Kong.Il aura aussi collaboré avec les étourdissants Söndörgő, l'Orchestre andalou d'Amsterdam, le Galata Gypsy Band et aura apporté tout son talent à la bande originale du film « le Chat du Rabbin » de Joann Sfar ou au documentaire « De Wilde Stad ». Pour leur nouvel album Bomba Pop disponible depuis le 1er février 2024, ils ont collaboré avec Ulf Lindemann alias Dunkelbunt. Le résultat est une boussole musicale éclatante qui indique de nombreuses directions musicales. Un voyage passionnant où s'entrechoquent musiques du monde, klezmer, cumbia, drum'n'bass, swing jazz, groove turc, mélodies pop et refrains hiphop.

Two long-time collaborators, cellist Francesa Ter-Berg and violinist Flora Curazon, Fran & Flora, have bonded over their obsession with ancient music, rooted in Eastern European and Jewish culture, for over a dozen years. Together and separately, the English musicians have been studying with teachers of ethnomusicology in places like Transylvania and Romania. There, they took in the music as well as the cultural influences. That's not to speak of their higher musical education, Francesca holds two masters in music (including ​in ​contemporary ​improvisation ​at ​the ​New ​England ​Conservatory ​of ​Music) while Flora trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London. They break down the benefits of each learning style and how it impacts their creative process. They also get into their love of klezmer music and the importance of portraying cultural heritage while remaining modern.We also talk about how as female musicians, they are expected to do absolutely everything and excel at it while people still talk about whether or not you smile on stage.
They share “There's a very deep thing in there that has effected our choices as a band in order to keep it safe and healthy within ourselves.” Their latest album Precious Collection features a couple of original tunes, but it's mostly new and unique arrangements of traditional Klezmer and Yiddish songs. Don't sleep on the smokey translation that Flora shares of the song "Little Bird" and stick around to learn who is the better roommate. All in all, great conversation with wonderful people who create bonkers music that's rich in tradition and layers. Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Interested in sponsoring us?

A family heirloom made its way into Adam's possession: a Siddur (prayer-book) that's around 150 years old. In this jubilee episode we discuss the provenance of this Siddur and its original owner, the meaning of a small selection of prayers and what a 30-something-not-typically-a-prayer-book-user is meant to do with this priceless book. Music from this joyous Klezmer ensemble and Prince (who doesn't need our humble link).

It's going to be a special Passover seder this year in Victoria, B.C. for The Klezbians, an all-woman musical group that performs Klezmer music. They're marking 10 years since the band formed to play professionally in 2014. And even before that, the band and their wider group of Jewish lesbian friends have been holding annual inclusive seders, by invitation only, at a private home. These seders started as an alternative to the women's unpleasant memories of their experiences as lesbians at their own traditional family seders, which were usually not welcoming spaces for them or their partners. Over the years, guests have created their own seder rituals, including making their own haggadah. The seder is usually accompanied by live klezmer performances of their favourite Passover songs. For a special Erev Passover edition of The CJN Daily, we're joined by two of The Klezbians to hear their heartwarming story: Debby Yaffe is a retired women's studies professor from the University of Victoria who plays guitar, and Susan Dempsey is a psychotherapist and counsellor who plays the accordion. What we talked about: Read more about the Klezbians on their official Facebook page Check out their music on YouTube Check out Bonjour Chai's “Third Annual Great Canadian Seder” Credits: The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

Klezmer music has always been very close to my heart, even as a classical violinist. During the pandemic I attempted to learn Klezmer clarinet, and soon I began collaborating with the great Klezmer(and classical!) violinist Abigale Reisman on her work for Klezmer band and orchestra called Gedanken. Abigale taught me so much about Klezmer music, including the fact that despite its reputation as a clarinet-centric genre, the violin is actually the original voice of the Klezmer sound. I've been wanting to do a show about Klezmer music for a while, and Abigale was the perfect person to talk to, as she has experience in both the classical and Klezmer worlds, and was able to talk about the differences between the two sounds, as well as all of the characteristics that make Klezmer music so instantly recognizable. We also talked about the similiarites between classical and Klezmer music, which classical violinists had the most Klezmer like sound, and how to tell the difference between a traditional Eastern European folk tune and a Jewish Klezmer folk tune. I so enjoyed this conversation and I hope you will too! You'll hear an excerpt of Abigale's band Ezekiel's Wheels at the end of the show, but check them out here:  https://www.youtube.com/@ewklezmer/videos Link to the concert I mentioned at the top of the show:  https://www.br-klassik.de/audio/20240308-on-demand-so-joshua-weilerstein-vilde-frang-strawinsky-schostakowitsch-100.html

Capítulo 70: In this episode of Ocu-Pasión, I had the pleasure of hosting Maria Paz and Gary Galapagos from Mariposas Galacticas, a band that defies musical boundaries with their unique blend of Cumbia-Klezmer & Punk. Formed in the spring of 2023 in West Philly, the band's fusion of Andean-American and Latinx Punk elements serves as the cornerstone of their distinct sound. Mariposas Galacticas is not your typical band; they boast an ensemble of 10-12 musicians and incorporate a mix of cultures including Indigenous/Ecuadorian roots & Jewish-American heritage/Klezmer elements into their performances. Their music is amplified by unique instruments, such as the haunting Saw player, contributing to their authentic orchestral Cumbia sound. Beyond the music, Mariposas Galacticas sees their art as a tool for liberation and healing. They actively support local organizations and causes through their performances.  The band aims to spread joy and healing through their music, leaving audiences with a profound sense of unity and inspiration. Mariposas Galacticas reminds us that music transcends borders, connecting us through the universal language of melody and emotion.Follow Mariposas Galacticas: https://www.instagram.com/mariposasgalacticas/https://www.instagram.com/microprismas/https://www.instagram.com/garygalapagos/Ocu-Pasión Podcast, hosted by Delsy Sandoval, is a heartfelt interview series celebrating the diverse experiences of Latin American/Latinx artists and visionaries.
