Talat: Original Multicultural Jewish Music

Join distinguished speakers and performers to celebrate and explore culture, music, philosophy, current events, books and more with a Jewish twist. Light Shabbat candles, raise a glass of wine, tear a piece of challah and enjoy a delicious oneg Shabbat (wine and noshes) after the program. Join New York-based quintet Talat for a transcendental night of music. Talat blends traditional Ashkenazi music from Eastern Europe with North African rhythms, fusing klezmer and jazz to produce a unique sound that is firmly rooted in the tradition of Israel as the homeland of all of these musical roots.
