SUMMARY:Merlin & Polina Shepherd in Dublin
DESCRIPTION:1 May – Dublin\, Ireland\nMerlin and Polina Shepherd in concert. Bello Bar\,1 Portobello Harbour\, D8. 8.30pm Organised by http://www.kaleidoscopenight.com/ \nPlease watch this space or sign up for monthly updates for more information. \nDescribed by The Irish Times as a “genre-blind mini festival” and the “capital’s premiere salon series”\, Kaleidoscope has long been acclaimed as a hugely important pillar of Dublin musical life. Founded in 2009 by violinist Cliodhna Ryan and cellist Kate Ellis\, the series sought to take classical music out of its typical setting and transplant it into an informal and intimate alternative. \nWhat happened as a result was a kind of musical revolution- a monthly musical revolution. 7 years later and the series is still held up by audiences and performers alike as the number one go-to place for a sociable evening of lesser-heard\, rarely-heard or never-heard small-ensemble music performed by the country’s top professionals. \nAn event is presented in Dublin’s BelloBar on the first Wednesday of every month\, now curated by violist Karen Dervan and cellist Lioba Petrie\, and the series regularly undertakes national touring. \nRelated Images:

SUMMARY:KlezNorth\, Peak District\, UK
DESCRIPTION:KlezNorth \nA Weekend of Klezmer in the Peak District 22-24 March 2019 \nKlezNorth is an annual festival of Klezmer music\, dance and song welcoming both Jewish and non-Jewish people to the wonderful world of Klezmer. KlezNorth is based in Derbyshire\, but in this context\, “North” regularly includes the Midlands\, the Southwest\, Wales and Scotland\, the North East\, East Anglia\, and\, dare we say\, London and the South East.

We have also been able to retain the ethos of doing things ourselves; it is very much a participant event\, but also each year have been able to supplement our home-grown tutors with people of national and international renown. \nRelated Images:

SUMMARY:Songs for the Soul in a holiday center in the Andalusian mountains
DESCRIPTION:Singing In The New Year \nInspiring Eastern traditions – with added Spanish sunshine. \nFrom Saturday Dec 29\, 2018 to Saturday Jan 05\, 2019 \nMost people familiar with choral singing know the wonderfully rich\, very different sounds of Russian and Eastern European choirs – and if you have never heard them\, you are in for an ear-opening way to a joyous community experience. \nYou don’t have to be Russian to do it; this is for anybody who wants to have a go\, regardless of previous experience or musical knowledge. The content will be drawn from traditional Christmas and New Year songs\, ritual music for pagan holidays\, wedding and folk dance songs\, Cossack music and beautiful lyrical pieces. While others look fearfully at foreign cultures\, discover the riches of one! \nThere will also be time for all the usual holiday activities; massage\, yoga\, dance\, walking in glorious nature\, quiet times and more. \nCourse Leader \nBorn in Siberia\, Polina Shepherd (Skovoroda) started her musical training as a child around the family table. Whilst studying at the State Academy in Russia\, she toured the dark Soviet theatres and performed to Boris Yeltsin and to the World in 1998-2002. As a programme director\, educator and performer she has been involved in music festivals\, conferences and seminars in eastern and western Europe\, the USA and Brazil. Now living in Britain and with over 20 years of professional experience\, Polina leads several choirs and continues to tour internationally. \nRelated Images:

SUMMARY:Iowa city: Polina Shepherd in concert with Oleg Timofeev (seven string guitar)
DESCRIPTION:Iowa\, USA Agudas Achim Synagogue\, 401 Oakdale Blvd\, Coralville\, Iowa 52241 \n7pm \nINTERNATIONAL ACADEMY FOR RUSSIAN MUSIC\, ARTS\, AND CULTURE (IARMAC) and @Agudas Achim Congregation IC PROUDLY PRESENT \nSONGS OF THE STEPPES AND THE SHTETL – Poli.na Shepherd (UK) in concert\nFor her ONLY concert in Iowa\, the Yiddishe Diva will be joined by Oleg Timofeyev (Russian seven-string guitar) and Natalia Timofeyeva (cello). \nPolina Shepherd was born in Siberia and grew up in a home where songs were regularly sung at a family table. Now an internationally renowned singer\, she brings the songs of the Steppes and the Shtetl up to date with passion and haunting soul. Her singing\, though based on traditional forms\, cuts a sound deeply rooted in east European Jewish and Russian folk. Growing up in Tatarstan also placed her close to Middle-Eastern ornamentation and timbre\, which can be heard in her unique vocal style and four-octave range. \nWhile the concert is free and open to the public\, suggested donations are $15 (general) and $10 (students and seniors). \n  \nRelated Images:

SUMMARY:The Stranniki in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:THE STRANNIKI  https://www.facebook.com/lzevent/– די װאָגלערס \nWhat? The Russian word Stranniki means to us World wanderers\, but why wander?… You and I\, your folks and mine\, us human souls\, pilgrims of continents and witnesses of time? In the 21 century?… Why? Don’t we have the internet at home? \nAn “avant bard” & “wandering scholar” Psoy Korolenko (Russia/US) & an etherial singer Polina Shepherd (Russia/UK) present their take on the Wandering Jew and the Russky Brodyaga (Vagabond). \nPsoy and Polina have both been at the forefront of the international Ashkenazi music scene for many years. After a mini tour in NY in 2015 & a show at the conference Mediating a New Cold War in the Digital Age at Dartmouth College in 2016\, the duo toured the USA from Washington CD to LA in December 2017 with a programme Shlepping the Steppes and the Shtetl. Watch video here \nThis collaboration defines original & fresh repertoire based on their original Yiddish and Russian songs as well as multilingual interpretations & translations. They create a balance between serious listening and popular music\, avant-garde & classics\, folklore\, chamber music\, theater song & cabaret\, reflecting the multi-cultural and international nature of diverse world & Jewish cultures. Rooted in Russian and Yiddish folk\, their multilingual journey starts in the Steppes and the Shtetl\, then takes us to the new world and other planets.\nPavel Lion\, a.k.a. Psoy Korolenko\, is a Moscow based singer/songwriter\, translator\, scholar and journalist. Picture a jetlagged Allen Ginsberg hopped up on a double espresso: a polyglot people-pleaser\, a born performer\, a half-serious shaman…. a practitioner of what he calls “spell art\,” which is to say art that casts a spell on its befuddled\, bemused\, blissed-out audience. (“Forward”).\nHe has been referred to as a ”wandering scholar” and an ”avant-bard”. His multilingual one-person cabaret-esque show balances folk and klezmer music\, free-style poetry and intellectual comedy. Psoy writes and sings in English\, Russian\, Yiddish\, and French.\nOn stage since 2000\, he has published one book of selected essays and song lyrics ”The Hit Of The Century”\, and 14 CDs – some of them in collaboration with active Jewish and Klezmer musicians (“Opa!”\, Daniel Kahn\, Igor Krutogolov\, “Oy Division”). \nPsoy is a member of the organizing committee for a Russian American music festival JetLAG\, a guest of many klezmer music festivals\, and an ex-artist in residence at the Trinity College (Hartford)\, University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)\, Dickinson College (Carlisle\, PA). An author of insightful and sophisticated Russian sung poetry\, Psoy is also known for his keen and explorative vision of the art of translation\, “tradaptation” and what he calls Spell-Art (i.e. playing with foreign text\, emphasizing linguistic distances\, multilingual songs etc).\nPOLINA SHEPHERD (vocals\, piano):\n“The Robert Plant of klezmer” (Seth Rogovoy\, The Essential Klezmer)\, performs an explosive mixture of songs of the Steppes and the Shtetl spiced up by Tatar Bazaars and washed down with an Odessa fisherman’s tune: Russian and Yiddish\, folklore and fakelore\, the powerful and the profound. \n“Русский Аллен Гинзбург” ПСОЙ КОРОЛЕНКО и “еврейский Роберт Плант” ПОЛИНА ШЕПЕРД объединились в новый проект ‘’THE STRANNIKI’’!  \nПОЛИНА ШЕПЕРД (Брайтон\, Великобритания\, ранее Казань\, Россия)\, певица\, композитор\, пианистка\, руководитель хоров\, объединяющая восточно-европейские\, балканские\, тюркские\, русские и еврейские музыкальные традиции в ряде сольных и совместных проектов под общим названием The Polina Shepherd Vocal Experience. Интересная деталь: по материнской линии она потомок семьи легендарного странствующего поэта и философа Григория Сковороды.  \nПСОЙ КОРОЛЕНКО\, “молодежный филолог и акын”\, “бродячий учёный”\, “авантбард” и “современный скоморох”\, автор\, переводчик и исполнитель песен\, так же\, как и Полина\, многие годы участвует во многих совместных проектах\, связанных определёнными музыкально-поэтическими традициями и общей внутренней творческой логикой. Кстати\, поскольку его настоящее имя Павел\, то можно сказать\, что они с Полиной тёзки! \nTHE STRANNIKI – дуэт\, который существует уже два года\, и впервые будет представлен в Чикаго. В этом экспериментальном фолк-кабаре замысловато переплетаются русский и идиш\, фольклор и камерная песня\, оригиналы и переводы\, старинное и современное\, лёгкость и серьёзность\, классика и цирк. Ключевые темы – дом\, дорога и один необъятный большой мир. Внимание: некоторые песни очень громкие!\n♨\nTHE 210 LIVE EXPERIENCE: 210 Live is not just a music venue. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s not just a bar. It truly is an experience. People walk in and feel the energy in the place. It’s something special…some even say magical.

SUMMARY:New Jersey: Lorin Sklamberg & Polina Shepherd in concert
DESCRIPTION:December – New Jersey\, USA                 По-русски читайте ниже \nLorin Sklamberg   – voice\, guitar\, accordion\, piano (New York\, USA) \nPolina Shepherd   – voice\, piano  (Brighton\, UK) \n431 Harmon Cove Towers (Tower 3\, apt 431)\, Secaucus\, New Jersey \nThe Izba\, the Shtibl and the Global Village: A melange of Russian song and Yiddish / klezmer with the lead singer of the Grammy winning Klezmatics  and a Siberian-born British singer \nRussian Art songs (Romance)\, folk and Soviet melodies in Yiddish\, bilingual Odessa songs\, Russian lyrics put to klezmer tunes\, Soviet collective farm songs from a century ago and original material exploring the connection between the Steppes and the Shtetl.  \nRead more  \nПо-русски: \nЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ КОНЦЕРТ УНИКАЛЬНОГО ДУЭТА. НЕ ПРОПУСТИТЕ! \nКак всегда\, башенники вступают в очередной праздничный \nсезон во всеоружии. Вас ожидает уникальная песенная программа на русском\, идиш и английском под названием “Изба\, штибл и мировая деревня” с участием Лорина Скламберга (Lorin Sklamberg)\, солиста легендарной группы The Klezmatics (Grammy Award 2016)\, и русской певицы-сибирячки Полины Сковороды-Шеперд (Polina Shepherd) из Татарстана. Завсегдатаи башенной площадки помнят Полину по аншлаговому выступлению в дуэте The Stranniki c Псоем Короленко. На этот раз вашему вниманию предлагается другой дуэт с ее участием\, тоже русско-идишский с вкраплениями английского\, в котором\, однако\, бОльшее внимание уделяется гармонии голосов и тембров.  \nПолина и Лорин известны в качестве “золотых голосов” всемирного движения Klezmer Revival. При этом оба имеют многолетнюю репутацию активистов и отщепенцев\, позволяющих себе исполнять «Серенаду» Шуберта на идише\, идишские гимны на русском\, а пропагандистскую колхозную песню 1920-х годов — да хоть на трех языках\, и уж точно на четырех инструментах… Лорин о себе заявляет\, что будучи евреем\, геем и коммунистом\, он трижды отщепенец. Полина восстает против социума по-другому\, представляя современный мир как большую и бездумную машину\, но не теряя надежды\, что Красота таки спасет Мир. \n“Когда мы поем песни\, то должны верить в то\, что поем”\, – говорит Скламберг. Может ли родившийся в Лос-Анджелесе верить в то же\, что и уроженка Новосибирска? Изба и еврейский домик\, штетл и русские поля? Далеко или близко? Бабушке и дедушке Полины удалось избежать Катастрофы\, переехав из Киева и Одессы в Сибирь. Предки Лорина тоже эмигрировали из украинского местечка\, но в Америку. У их дальних предков есть общая история\, а они сами\, по словам автора монографии The Ultimate Klezmer и некоторых текстов песен дуэта Seth Rogovoy\, наделены “голосами\, созданными звучать вместе”. \nВ неповторимом звучании дуэта вы узнаете русскую избу\, еврейское местечко\, призыв к молитве казанского муэдзина (Полина училась и работала в Татарстане)\, пять октав вокальной акробатики\, новые авторские композиции\, яркие и неожиданные музыкальные переплетения двух восточно-европейских культур и двух уникальных голосов. То есть именно так\, как и должно быть в нашей мировой деревне. \n**Посмотреть и послушать** \nПоппури: youtu.be/P8Q6Fktn29E\nВесёлая песня (идиш): youtu.be/1A2Gh0Px6EQ\nРусские народные песни (идиш\, русский): youtu.be/YlM7QEIrKqU\nКолыбельная Светланы (идиш): youtu.be/zBfiNauGhsg \n**Страница проекта** \nhttps://www.polinashepherd.co.uk/projects/lp/ \nRelated Images:
