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

Experience the magic, warmth, and spirit of a Ukrainian Christmas through the unforgettably beautiful sound of Bandura — Ukraine’s national instrument and a symbol of centuries-old resilience, hope, and cultural pride.
More than just an instrument, Bandura tells the story of a nation. This unique 65-string instrument carries echoes of Ukraine’s rich past — from the wandering Kobzars, blind minstrels, to today’s bandura artists who continue to unite audiences around the world.
In our Christmas with Bandura benefit concert you will be transported to a Ukrainian music wonderland filled with traditional Christmas carols (kolyadky and shchedrivky), festive arrangements, and soul-stirring melodies. This is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of heritage, community, and the enduring power of Ukrainian bandura music.
Together, we will perform traditional and contemporary Ukrainian carols, blending intricate harmonies and instrumentals in a performance that will leave audiences inspired.
This benefit concert is part of the U.S. holiday tour organized by BandurArts, U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Ukrainian bandura music and culture through education, performance, and artistic collaboration.
We are proud to partner and host this concert in St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Church to bring the community together during this magical Christmas and holiday season!
This concert series is both a celebration and a cause — proceeds and donations from the Christmas with Bandura concert will directly support Ukrainian initiatives, educational programs, humanitarian initiatives, and artistic mentorship efforts in the U.S. and Ukraine.
We cannot wait to carol with you! Reserve your seats early — these concerts will be a highlight of the holiday season!
