Zoë and her band will present a new repertoire they've been developing as part of the Transylvanian Synagogue Tour, a project to bring new music into historic Jewish spaces in Transylvania. The outcome of this experiment is a tentative summation of her last few years of artistic development and research, and it outlines a set of potential pedagogical pathways for the international klezmer community, rooted in the aesthetics of Transylvanian folk revivalists. The project was framed around painful questions about Jewish identity in contemporary Eastern Europe, but the answers it presents are more capacious and joyful.

The concert is part of the project RESONANCE - Collaborative processes, research, production. Our mission is to support the study, production and promotion of contemporary music.
