Since the 15th century the secular Jewish folk music known today as klezmer
has been used to inspire celebration and dance.
These worlds will be brought together like only the NCO can for an evening
filled with wild, joyful and poignant music.

* Music Without Boundaries work commissioned by the
NCO
This program features the world premiere of Dr. Michael Alec Rose's Arguing with God - Concerto for Klezmer and Orchestra.
"Arguing with God strives to capture the joy, depth, and energy of Klezmer, whose richness is summed up so well in the name of our wonderful guest artists:
Brave is what the Jewish people must ever be in faithfully arguing with God.
Old is what the roots of our tradition are, made new in every generation.
World is that which we Jews are commanded to be a light unto."
- Michael Alec Rose |
