#Jewish initiater series#

Secret Chord Concerts is a free on-demand video series featuring 15-25 minute performances from celebrated Jewish musicians representing a broad range of styles, heritages, and histories and recorded live in front of intimate audiences in Philadelphia and Los Angeles. ET, the next Secret Chord Concert in the series will post at the top of this page, on the Museum's Facebook page, the Lowell Milken Center’s YouTube page and on the series page on The Weitzman’s website along with all of the previous episodes. The trio's members are Matthew Stein (violin), Misha Khalikulov (cello) and Dmitri Gaskin (accordion). Avid ethnographic researchers, they perform newly rediscovered gems from Ashkenazi, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Hungarian folk music traditions, alongside original compositions. This has led the duo to write, arrange and perform in a diverse array of styles and genres including contemporary classical, cabaret, blues and pop in addition to the sounds of Jewish Eastern Europe that have traditionally accompanied music in the Yiddish language.īaymele (meaning 'little tree' in Yiddish) is a klezmer and Eastern European folk trio rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area on unceded Ohlone land. Inspired by the work of an international group of twentieth century Jewish writers and poets, Tsvey Brider is an outfit for the musical exploration of contemporary life in the Yiddish language. Formed in 2017 after winning the Concurso Internacional de Canciones en Idish (Der Idisher Idol) in Mexico City, Tsvey Brider has gone on to be featured in the Gorki Theatre’s Radikale Jüdisches Kulturtage (Radical Jewish Culture Festival), tour across Poland and perform for culture and music festivals both nationally and interntaionally. Tsvey Brider (meaning “two brothers” in Yiddish) is a Yiddish songwriting, arranging and performing duo featuring Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell (vocals) and Dmitri Gaskin (piano, accordion). In various combinations, the two ensembles perform original, stylistically diverse compositions of Yiddish poetry in addition to music of Jewish eastern Europe. Episode 4 features a collaborative performance by two groups, Tsvey Brider and Baymele.
