We are not so naïve as to believe that we can change or save the world. But we hold the unshakeable belief that we can change ourselves. Thousands of people from all over the world, professing different religions and cultures, slaves of the Tower of Babel, share a common language during the concert here on Szeroka—the language of respect, peace, and love. Ulica Szeroka becomes the largest Jewish stage in the world. Yes—this is our Jewish Woodstock, from where living Jewish music flows out into the world. And all that really matters is not to miss this moment. Because it is an eternal moment. July 5, 6.00 p.m. Szeroka Street From Mississippi to Ukraine The Ark - Cyclical rituals A collaboration of nine singularly innovative artists from Israel, Ukraine, New York, New Orleans and the Bay Area, this is the first of what is envisioned as a series of ritual performances exploring tradition, creativity, time, environment through art and music. The musicians all share a deep commitment to traditional music, ranging from Mississippi Delta blues, to Ukrainian village ballads, as well as Yiddish, Mizrahi, Ladino, cantorial and klezmer musical expression, and in imaginative ways, have used their talent to take these forms in creative new directions. Almost all of them have worked together before in different configurations. This project was commissioned by the 23rd Jewish Music Festival, Berkeley, California, a program of the Jewish Community Center of the East Bay and first performed as the culmination of the Festival’s first artist residency. Eleanor Shapiro - the Director of the Festival of Berkley is an initiator of the project. The project premiered on March 29, 2008 at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, co-sponsored in part by the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture. Frank London (trumpet, keyboard), Aaron Alexander ( percussion), Avi Avital (mandolin), Stuart Brotman (double bass) , Jewlia Eisenberg (vocal), Glenn Hartman (accordion), Mariana Sadowska (vocal, harmonium), John Schott (guitar), Jessica Ivry (cello).
