Twinkling Lullabies & Songs of Love and Love Gone Wrong....

As part of Ljova's Sunday@5 residency at Barbes, Inna Barmash is bringing back her Yiddish Lullabies & Love Songs project, featuring  Lev 'Ljova' Zhurbin on viola, Shoko Nagai on accordion and piano, Dmitry Ishenko on bass, and a special guest, Sam Sadigursky, on clarinet.  The program explores art songs and folk songs, including rarely heard treasures of old Soviet era anthologies of songs collected in the shtetls of Ukraine in the 1920s and art songs by Soviet composers set to Yiddish poetry.

About Inna Barmash

Inna first started singing in Yiddish back in her home city of Vilnius, Lithuania as a child in the late 80s. After immigrating to the US with her family in 1991, Inna has continued singing in Yiddish, Russian and other languages with numerous klezmer and folk groups in the NY area. She is the vocalist of the chamber folk band Ljova & the Kontraband and co-leads the gypsy dance party band Romashka.

The "Yiddish Lullabies & Love Songs" recording was made possible through a grant by the BluePrint Fellowship project of COJECO, funded by the UJA-Federation of New York and Genesis Philanthropy Group.

REVIEW OF THE CD RELEASE SHOW AT JOE'S PUB:

"...At Joe’s Pub, Inna Barmash led an excellent band ... through a set of frequently spellbinding, emotionally rich new arrangements of old Jewish folk tunes from the Ukraine and points further west. In this performance, Barmash built a warmly personable rapport with the audience, sharing her passion and erudite knowledge of obscure treasures brought to light by both Dmitri Shostakovich as well as legendary pre-Holocaust archivist Moishe Beregovsky. . . . As nuanced a singer as [Inna] Barmash is in the studio – her new album, Yiddish Love Songs and Lullabies, many of which she played this evening – is fantastic, but live is where her heart is...." - New York Music Daily

The concerts showcase a variety of new and standard Klezmer music,

and a wealth of choral music by Jewish composers, including richly

scored six-part Shir Hama’alot by 17th century Italian composer

Salamone Rossi, beloved works by Darius Milhaud and Felix

Mendelssohn, a lush piece by 19th century composer David Nowakowsky called

Hashkivenu #2, Sylke Zimpel’s arrangement of the familiar

folk tune Tumbalalaika, and compelling psalm settings by contemporary

composers George Rochberg, Malcolm Singer, and Karen Tarlow.

For this program local composer Tina Harrington and

Composer-Not-in-Residence Matt Van Brink each created new works that

feature the two ensembles. Using energetic rhythms, Harrington's Vest

Oysforn draws on the tradition of Eastern European folk music. The

unique characters of two Romanian dances, the Doina and the Hora, are

featured Matt Van Brink's work They Disappear.

About Veretski Pass          

Taking its name from the mountain pass through which Magyar tribes

crossed into the Carpathian basin to settle what later became the

Austro-Hungarian Empire, Veretski Pass offers a unique and exciting

combination of virtuosic musicianship and raw energy that has excited

concertgoers across the world. The trio plays Old Country Music with

origins in the Ottoman Empire, once fabled as the borderlands of the

East and the West. In a true collage of Carpathian, Jewish, Romanian

and Ottoman styles, typical suites contain dances from Moldavia and

Bessarabia; Jewish melodies from Poland and Romania; Hutzul wedding

music from Carpathian-Ruthenia; and haunting Rebetic aires from

Smyrna, seamlessly integrated with original compositions. Veretski

Pass recently performed at the Concertgebouw concert hall in

Amsterdam, and their CDs have repeatedly been on the 10- best

recording lists of journalists. For biographies of individual members

of Veretski Pass, please visit: www.veretskipass.com
