Chassidim, Yiddishists and Socialists of the L.A. Eastside (Jewish Hike)
On this months tour we will be exploring more historical Jewish religious and Yiddish cultural sites of the Los Angeles Eastside. Many of my guests love my lengthier walking tours. You have asked for a more extensive and intensive tour, to see some lesser known sites; so this tour will be about 3.5-miles circuit in total. Are you ready?
This sites we will be focusing on will not just be the religious Jewish history of Boyle Heights, we will even be exploring the old labor and leftist political sites of the Yiddishists in the hills of City Terrace.
On this special tour we will discuss the layered spiritual and cultural heritage of our local sites. We will see some examples of how some of these old Jewish sites have found new life serving the Latino community. We will also discuss the challenges locals are facing in preserving the character of these historical sites which are precious to Latinos and Jews alike.
Assaf Shelleg: about Jews; New Affordances in Contemporary Music
New music written by or about Jews no longer abides by exoticisms, national paraphernalia, or the prestige of “art music.” Instead, growing disillusioned with (or disinterested in) ideological apparatuses and tropes of Otherness, composers navigate through signs associated with Judaism while introducing new ethnographies in the form of fieldwork recordings, simulations of their oral behavioral patterns, or their entextualizing. With this they steadily undo the modernist divide between ethnography and art. The talk will situate the proliferation of contemporary Jewish art music in the ecosystem of new music, focusing on works by Chaya Czernowin, Heiner Goebbels, and Olga Neuwirth while considering the historiographical impact of the recordings released by the Milken Archive.
This event is made possible by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music
