NYAE News: March 2015

It has been an exciting month for NYAE. We’ve met many new friends, from around the world, performed with Esti Kenan Ofri at Hunter College, learned a couple new songs in rehearsal, and began preparing for a slew of spring shows. Here are some highlights.

Hunter College Performance Workshop 03/24/15

The Performance Workshop at Hunter College was co-sponsored by the Anthropology, Music, and Classical & Oriental Studies Departments. Organized by Prof. Jonathan Shannon, we came together with renowned singer, dance artist, and educator Esti Kenan Ofri to present musical pieces from North Africa, Syria, and the Balkans that were prominently performed in the Sephardi-Mizrahi Jewish communities.

Featuring: Samuel Torjman Thomas, Esti Kenan Ofri, Sjimon den Hollander, Eylem Basaldi, Dror Shahaf
