SUMMARY:Last Musician of Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:Last Musician of Auschwitz \nUK 2025\, 90 mins\, English \nDirector Toby Trackman\, featuring Anita Lasker-Wallfisch \nHow can there be music in the worst place in the world? Told through the words of victims of the camp who played and created music during the terrors of the Holocaust\, this film shows how music could be a lifeline\, a way to give testimony and even a way to resist. Woven throughout are new interpretations of musical works written by victims of the camp\, mainly filmed at resonant locations in the environs of Auschwitz. Between them\, they touch on themes of loss\, longing and cultural memory\, and address head on the barbaric and murderous regime at Auschwitz.  Toby Trackman’s landmark theatrical feature documentary The Last Musician of Auschwitz was a centrepiece of the BBC’s commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp and is currently touring the worldwide festival circuit. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Jews and Jazz: a melting pot of identities
DESCRIPTION:What has Charlie Parker’s classic bebop tune ‘Anthropology’ got to do with George Gershwin? What was the role of Jewish composers in establishing the great American Song Book and how did this establish mainstream jazz standards? How does the Freygish scale found in klezmer music relate to the Phyrgian dominant mode used in minor 2-5-1 Jazz chords? \nJewish composers\, musicians\, producers and club owners played a major role in the establishment of the American Jazz scene. One possible reason for this is that Jews used jazz to construct three identities: to become more American\, to emphasize their minority status\, and to become more Jewish. Today a wealth of Israeli musicians is influencing the modern Jazz scene with their own Sephardic and Mizrachi musical flavours. This talk will provide plenty of musical examples and does not require any knowledge of jazz but a willingness to listen with open-minded ears. \nYoav Ben-Shlomo is a lover of music\, including classical\, jazz and klezmer as well as helping run DAVAR on the side. He is neither a professional musician\, still mastering jazz flute and saxophone\, or a Jazz historian\, but he loves to share his knowledge and passion of music. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Ernest Bloch: more than a Jewish composer
DESCRIPTION:Yoav Ben-Shlomo • Bristol \nErnest Bloch\, though not a religious Jew\, is probably the most famous Jewish composer of the twentieth century. Born in Geneva in 1880\, he studied in Brussels\, Frankfurt\, Munich and Paris before creating his “Jewish cycle” and ended his life in the USA. However\, he also composed other important musical works including chamber music and symphonic works that were more impressionistic\, influenced by Debussy and other 20th century composers. Whilst\, much of his music has strong Jewish themes\, he always viewed his works as universalistic with a message that “…transports us into another world and makes us think\, feel\, love differently.” This talk will play excerpts from many of his varied works to illustrate the power of this message. \nYoav Ben-Shlomo is a lover of music\, including classical\, jazz and klezmer. He has collected classical pieces inspired by Jewish themes over the years and enjoys sharing his love of music with others. Yoav is an academic at the University of Bristol and Chair of DAVAR. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles
DESCRIPTION:Max Lewkowicz’s richly detailed documentary celebrates the illustrious Broadway show Fiddler on the Roof\, the evergreen shtetl-set musical first staged in 1964 with choreography and direction by Jerome Robbins and starring Zero Mostel as Teyve\, the milkman. \nContributions from a range of interviewees – including people attached to the original production\, such as producer Hal Prince and lyricist Sheldon Harnick\, and famous fans of the show\, including Fran Lebowitz and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda – help to structure the history lesson about how Fiddler became a massive international hit. That account is filled out with footage of recent productions from around the world as well as the 1971 film version\, starring Chaim Topol and directed by Norman Jewison.  What makes this documentary are the organically introduced digressions into\, among many other things\, the history of the Pale of Settlement\, Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem and Marc Chagall.

SUMMARY:Klezmer Music: History and Contemporary Practice Around the World
DESCRIPTION:Klezmer – the instrumental music of Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews – has survived assimilation\, suppression and eradication and is now a recognisable ‘world music’ commodity\, as well as an object of serious musicological study. But what relationship does today’s klezmer bear to its 19th and early 20th century roots\, and what happens to traditional music when its community context changes or disappears? In this talk Phil will give an overview of klezmer’s journey\, exploring where the music came from\, and where it now finds itself. He will also discuss his work with his own klezmer-ish band Moishe’s Bagel.  Includes musical examples. \nPhil Alexander is a British Academy research fellow at the University of Edinburgh\, where he studies historical Scottish-Jewish musical interactions. His book Sounding Jewish in Berlin: klezmer and the contemporary city will be published with Oxford University Press in early 2021. Phil is also a busy musician\, leading the band Moishe’s Bagel and collaborating regularly with folk and jazz musicians around the UK and beyond. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Jewish Music out of the Shadows: Hidden Archives\, Lost Worlds
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe catastrophes of the twentieth century\, most significantly the Shoah\, led to the near destruction of the rich musical heritage of Eastern European and Russian Jews. Composers\, performers and their art were either lost forever\, or else became dispersed and fragmented\, leaving only shadowy echoes of a lost world. Stephen Muir will talk about a large international research project\, “Performing the Jewish Archive”\, which aims to bring some of that music back out of the shadows. Recovered from dusty cellars in Helsinki\, abandoned suitcases in Cape Town\, and the archive of human testimony held in the memories of survivors and their families\, music allows us to glimpse the riches of that lost world\, at the same time reminding us that unless they are cherished and recorded with painstaking care and urgency\, our archives risk being lost forever along with the world that produced them. \nStephen Muir studied at the University of Birmingham\, and is a Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Leeds. He has published on subjects as diverse as Rimsky-Korsakov’s operas\, Dvořák’s piano-vocal arrangements\, and South African Jewish music. In 2014 he and other scholars were awarded one of the largest ever grants (£1.8 million) by the Arts and Humanities Research Council for “Performing the Jewish Archive” (ptja.leeds.ac.uk). \n  \nThis event as part of a programme of events for Bristol Holocaust Memorial Day (2017) See their website for more details \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
