Grammy Award-winning jazz bassoonist and composer Paul Hanson explores his Jewish roots in this world premiere, one of the first large-scale Jewish pieces ever written for bassoon. Includes Moses Sedler, cello; Jeff Denson, bass; Mads Tolling, violin; Alan Hall, percussion and drums; and
John Schott, guitar. Hanson, a Berkeley native, formerly played with the trend-setting band the Klezmorim as well as the group Davka. His four-year stint in Japan as a performer with Cirque du Soleil inspired him to explore his Jewish roots through this new work. Co-presented by the Contemporary Jewish Museum. In association with Lehrhaus Judaica and the Jewish Community Library.
