We’re excited to invite New York-based Kleztronica artist Chaia for an evening of somatic movement and Deep Listening, grounded in Yiddish samples and song, alongside Minneapolis artists Miri Villerius and Sarah Larsson.
The evening will kickoff with a guided movement session by local klezmer, journalist and Deep Listening practitioner Miri Villerius. Miri’s Deep Listening instructors come from the lineage of Pauline Oliveros, IONE, and Heloise Gold and have included Leila Ramagopal Pertl, Brian Pertl, and Stephanie Loveless.
Then, Chaia and Sarah Larsson will lead a listening session through time featuring archival samples of Yiddish folksongs and live vocals. The duo will create meditative arrangements of Yiddish folksong, blending old recordings of Yiddish singers, interviews, and environmental field recordings with their own renditions of the songs.
Framing the physical space will be an art installation by Kohenet Riv Shapiro exploring water as a site of global communication and solidarities. You’re invited to stop by their MFA thesis exhibition reception at MCAD before the show to see more of this work! 6pm — 2201 1st Ave S.
