Directed by Dr. Hankus Netsky, co-chair of New England Conservatory’s Contemporary Musical Arts Program and founder and director of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, the concert will also feature violinist Rabbi Jessica Kate Meyer, vocalist Eden Macadam-Somer, and clarinetist Itay Dayan.
The concert honors the musical and spiritual legacy of the late Morris Hollender, Temple Beth Israel’s long-time baal-tefile (lay religious leader) and Torah reader, who died in 2014. An Auschwitz survivor, Hollender came to the Boston area from Czechoslovakia in 1967. The program will feature melodies that Hollender learned as a child in the Munkacs region of Eastern Czechoslovakia (now Ukraine) and that he shared generously with TBI members and others during his time in the U.S.
His repertoire has become a major pillar of the contemporary international resurgence of Eastern European Jewish musical culture, and his legacy is honored in a permanent exhibit at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA. This year marks the hundredth anniversary of Hollender’s birth.
