"Convergence: Black and Jewish Narratives in Conversation"
We welcome artist and educator Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell for some music and discussion.
The complexities of the Black and Jewish experience align, diverge, and inform each other in ways that are as perceptible as they are sometimes difficult to articulate. Music and culture give us a unique space to explore the histories, identities, and connections between the Black and Jewish experience. In a conversation with performer and composer Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell, we will discuss aspects of history and culture that have the potential to build solidarity, observe difference and increase understanding.
Anthony Russell is a vocalist, composer and arranger specializing in music in the Yiddish language. This work has brought him to Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, New York, Toronto, Montreal, London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Krakòw, Tel Aviv, Symphony Space in New York City and the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Anthony's work with klezmer trio Veretski Pass resulted in Convergence, an EP exploring a century of African American and Ashkenazi Jewish music. He also performs in a Yiddish songwriting duo,Tsvey Brider, with SF Bay Area accordionist and keyboardist Dmitri Gaskin. Anthony lives in Massachusetts with his husband, Rabbi Michael Rothbaum.
