Jewish Jazz: Great Connections Between Jazz and Klezmer Music
Works by Joplin, Goodman, Kovacs, Gershwin and more.
on Thursday, June 2 at 7:30pm at CBI
AmiciMusic returns to Congregation Beth Israel on Thursday, June 2 at 7:30pm for another thrilling program entitled “JEWISH JAZZ” featuring clarinetist Steve Loew and pianist/Artistic Director Daniel Weiser. They will highlight some fascinating connections between Klezmer music and early American Jazz as many of the new immigrant Jews in New York City in the first decades of the 20th century fused the sounds of the Synagogue and their own Klezmer folk music with the new Ragtime and Blues that came up with the great African-American migration from the South to produce a new and distinctly American sound—Jazz. Dr. Weiser will talk about these many interconnections and they will perform great music by Benny Goodman, Scott Joplin, Lev Kogan, Bela Kovacs, George Gershwin, and more, including a wonderful arrangement of “Rhapsody in Blue.” Seats are only $25 in advance or $30 at the door. Children 18 and under are free. For more information and to reserve your seats now, visit: https://www.

invites you to participate in the 2022 Artist-in-Residence Workshop
FABRIC EXPLORATIONS
With Suzie Beringer
Asheville, North Carolina July 31 – August 4, 2022
Have you always wanted to create on fabric, but didn’t know where or how to begin? This workshop will take away those mysteries and you will see what exciting possibilities designing on fabric can bring
Beth Israel is excited to announce Fabric Explorations, an opportunity to explore and learn with Suzie Beringer, working to combine strong, simple illustrations and abstractions to be enhanced with accents and textures of lettering, all on fabric! Suzie is a freelance letter artist with over 30 years calligraphic experience and a degree in Commercial Art. If you’ve worked on fabric before, you know how adaptable and forgiving it can be. If you haven’t worked with fabric, you will be surprised and delighted in its characteristics as a substrate. Strong layout and design will go a long way and whether you are familiar with lettering or not, the enhancements we learn will surely add an element of depth to your explorations!
A good quality muslin acts as a tightly knit canvas, priming itself with each layer. Using this as our base, the focus of this workshop will be on surface design. Suzie will guide us in preparing an effective design, whether pictorial or abstract. Previous calligraphic experience is not necessary, but our works will also be layered with lettering as we learn to balance with the colors and movement in our layouts while adding a delicate sense of depth and texture. Lettering can range from your own journaling script to a simple mono line, a textured effect, or any other hand you may want to incorporate!
Suzie will share with you many different finished samples that were done on fabric to help inspire you. This workshop will enable you to dive in with confidence and walk away with enough tools in your pocket to continue that play.
Suzie Beringer is a lettering artist who makes her home in the Pacific Northwest. With a degree in commercial art and a life-time passion for calligraphy, she is constantly exploring new possibilities and pushing herself creatively. Her work has been published in Letter Arts Review as well as other publications. As a teacher she loves to share her passion for mark making and design with others. As an artist Suzie loves the challenge and discovery that lettering on different surfaces brings. It has been said, that if something around her doesn’t move quickly enough it may end up with letters on it! You can see more of her work on Instagram: penstrokedesignstudio
