Ljova

the world premiere of a new cycle of compositions by Ljova for piano and historical recordings – performed by longtime friend Inna Faliks, head of piano at UCLA. Part of a dynamic festival of American Jewish Music, which… “showcases a fascinating exploration of diverse musical styles of the American Jewish experience. From classical to klezmer, tango to Middle Eastern, bluegrass to Broadway – hear how Jewish music and culture has interacted with and been influenced by other cultures and music. Featuring artists from LA and beyond, this day offers concerts, workshops and more, including ‘JAM (Jewish American Music) Talks’, where artists share about their musical influences and explore if and how their music reflects their Jewish identity.” The performance is at 2pm — join Ljova in the Music Library for a pre-concert talk at 1pm.
