Featuring: Moshe Schulhof, Tsudik Greenwald, Yaakov Rosenfeld, Shlomo Glick, David Weinbach – vocals, Budapest Klezmer Band (artistic director: Ferenc Jávori) Film: Moshe Alafi This show showcases songs performed by cantors, music performed by a Klezmer band and video displays. The play is set in a Hungarian town. The narrator Shmuel is the son of the town’s former Rabbi. After his father’s death he returns to see what has happened to the place he grew up in and the synagogue he knew so well. He finds that nothing is left of the synagogue but a chest of relics. His exploration of its contents is accompanied by the cantors, representing voices from the Jewish past. His nostalgic stories of life in the Jewish community in Hungary are brought to life by music and videos. This performance will be of interest to a wide audience of music lovers, both those familiar with Jewish cantorial music and those interested in widening their horizons; it will also appeal to audiences interested in history, as it provides a glimpse of the Jewish past in Hungary.
