Jewish Chorale  

Seattle Jewish Chorale concert
From Strength to Strength, Songs for the Journey

Sunday, June 2 at 7 pm at Town Hall Seattle

1119 8th Ave., Seattle

 
This year, Seattle Jewish Chorale sings of travel: of the courage, persistence and grace it requires. It may be a journey to a new place or toward a new understanding, the road to forgiveness, or the road home. The diverse repertoire presented in the spring concert, From Strength to Strength, will take you on a journey through time and space, stopping to savor Sephardic melodies from Turkey and Yemen, as well as popular Yiddish-American tunes. We will travel through the desert by camel caravan in the evocative Orcha Bamidbar, experience the awe of Moses and the Israelites' safe passage across the sea, and feel the exuberant celebration of Miriam, Dancing with the Women. Ma Navu,
Making the Desert Bloom and Naomi Shemer's classic
Jerusalem of Gold will surround us with the sounds and rhythms of the Promised Land, both ancient and new. And finally, arriving home, we are reminded "how good it is to be together," in a rousing new gospel-style setting of Hinei Mah Tov. Travel with us through this poignant, energizing and uplifting music--no passport required! Kadimaniks Suzie Hellerstein and Sima Kahn sing in the chorale. More information and purchase tickets here.

Thursday, May 23  ·  7 pm  ·  Harvard Exit (807 E Roy St, Seattle)
Sunday, June 2  ·  12:30 pm  ·  Kirkland Performance Center (350 Kirkland Ave, Kirkland) 

Film: Barzan 

Sam Malkandi, who immigrated from Iraq in 1995, lived in Kirkland with his family; they had really assimilated, and were very excited about American culture. But in 2005, Malkandi was linked by the U.S. government to an al-Quaida operative. Held at the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac for five years, he was deported to Iraq in 2010. His family remained here, and his wife still lives in Kirkland. Directed by Alex Stonehill and Bradley Hutchinson. As they crafted Barzan, the filmmakers saw its focus change slightly. It started out with the question: Is he innocent or guilty? It changed to be a lot more about: What is he innocent or guilty of, and how do we as a society treat and judge people who aren't citizens versus people who are?
