Stay after the show for a Q&A session with the Klezmatics, moderated by Budd Mishkin.

The Klezmatics - Woody Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanukkah

Woody Guthrie and Hanukkah? Who knew? Almost nobody. But in 1998 his daughter Nora discovered a trove of songs that the celebrated folksinger wrote in the 1940s. The Klezmatics riff off Guthrie’s original melodies and create new tunes in this unremittingly cheerful fusion of Klezmer music and American sounds.

The only klezmer band to win a Grammy Award, the Klezmatics band members are globally renowned world-music superstars. The group emerged out of the vibrant cultural scene of New York City’s East Village in 1986. Klezmer music was steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality, while incorporating contemporary themes, such as human rights and anti-fundamentalism, and eclectic musical influences, including Arab, African, Latin and Balkan rhythms, jazz, and punk. In the course of over twenty years and nine albums, the band has stubbornly continued making music that is wild, mystical, provocative, reflective, and ecstatically danceable.

Skips merrily out of the speakers and becomes the life of the party.

Broadway is seeing a fabulous trend in the last several years with shows like Riverdance, The Last Ship, Bright Star, Come From Away, and The Band’s Visit, and Indecent. The result is that the traditional music scenes of several cultures are seeing the same musicians that play their dances and festivals on Broadway! Having played in two of these shows, and with friends in all of them, Grammy Winner Lisa Gutkin (of the Klezmatics) is proud to present the first of her series “Broadway Folk” as her contribution toward keeping the music of all of our ancestors alive, vibrant, and on big stages!

Brought together by Indecent, the Tony Award winning play created by Rebecca Taichman and Paula Vogel that took Broadway by storm in the spring of 2017, Lisa Gutkin (The Last Ship, Klezmatics) Matt Darriau (Klezmatics, Ballin’ the Jack), Uri Sharlin (Natalie Merchant, Play Me A Story), Zoe Aqua (Tsibele, Litvakus) and Doug Wieselman (Bill Frisell, Jerome Robbins, Flying Karamazov Brothers) are all leading musicians in the world music scene. “Broadway Folk” gives the audience a chance to see this All Star band stretch out, improvise and play some of their own compositions, as well as the music written by Lisa Gutkin and Aaron Halva for Indecent.

Indecent is being aired on PBS’s Great Performances on November 17. Please join usat Jalopy for a 7:30 concert ($15) and 9pm screening, along with hors d’oeuvres ($15) (or come early for dinner in their space next door!) $25 for both.

ALLISON EASTER / LISA GUTKIN / LUISA MUHR

Meredith Monk Vocal Ensemble member Allison Easter, Grammy winner and Musical Director of Tony-winning Broadway show ‘Indecent’ Lisa Gutkin, and multi-lingual, interdisciplinary artist and curator of Women Between Arts Luisa Muhr.

The New School, Arnhold Hall Glass Box Theater (55 W 13th St, New York, NY 10011)

Please be advised that you will have to buy all tickets in advance via Eventbrite as The New School policy does not allow cash at the door.

“Why Don’t You Play Something Jewish” or “Just Push Play” explores Lisa’s diverse artistic choices and the crazy life they have taken her to against the backdrop of Followers of the Trail, the hiking group/bungalow colony founded by her Yiddish speaking grandparents and their friends. Lisa credits her first published essay, written for Aaron Rezny’s book Eating Delancey, and a concert at the Eldridge Street Museum dedicated to the Triangle Waist Shirt Factory workers and the union activism that followed, as early steps toward this work in progress. 

Women Between Arts is an interdisciplinary arts series curated by Luisa Muhr at The New School (Arnhold Hall Glass Box Theater). 

The series is for women who work with elements/a combination of music, theater, dance, poetry, and/or visual arts in an unconventional way. Each series will feature 2-3 women artists and their work. The pieces will be 10-15 minutes each and there will be a talk-back after the performances where audience members will have the opportunity to learn more about the artists, their work, and their process. 

Women Between Arts has been created to provide a platform for and encourage dialogue between strong female artists of at least one or a combination of multiple fields to create interdisciplinary work.
