Live Performance by Grammy-nominated composer and pianist Uri Caine [Barzel-NY-Noise-cover-hi-res.152650.jpg] Thursday, May 19, 2016 at 7pm. Center for Jewish History 15 West 16th Street New York, NY 10003 Admission is free. Please RSVP to i...@jewishmusicforum.org<mailto:i...@jewishmusicforum.org> Building on her research for New York Noise: Radical Jewish Music and the Downtown Scene (Indiana University Press, 2015), Dr. Barzel will address the most experimental currents in 20th/21st century Jewish art music in the United States. Even as this work stands outside the known history of Jewish music, it treats the central themes of Jewish expressive culture: memory and forgetting, individual and community, voice and language. Grammy award-nominated composer and pianist Uri Caine will give a live performance as well as discuss his recent work. A Q&A session featuring both participants will conclude the event. Tamar Barzel (Visiting Curator, Fales Library-Downtown Collection, New York University) is an ethnomusicologist whose research focuses on 20th-century musical avant-gardes and undergrounds, particularly jazz, rock, and composition/improvisation. Her book, New York Noise: Radical Jewish Music and the Downtown Scene, delves into questions of musical meaning, heritage, and memory in the strange and compelling Jewish music that emerged from Manhattan’s downtown music scene in the 1990s. She has presented papers at many professional meetings, including the Society for Ethnomusicology, Society for American Music, and American Jewish Historical Society, and her articles appear in the Journal of the Society for American Music, Jazz/Not Jazz: The Music and Its Boundaries, and People Get Ready! The Future of Jazz is Now. She is currently conducting research for a new book project, Underground Collisions: Avant-Garde Jazz and Theater in Mexico City, 1970-1983, which investigates the intersections between radical theater and free improvisation in Mexico City in the 1960s and 1970s. Uri Caine was born in Philadelphia and began studying piano with Bernard Peiffer and composition with George Rochberg. He attended the University of Pennsylvania and studied music composition with George Rochberg and George Crumb.
