SUMMARY:3/13 CONCERT | Singing the Sephardic Diaspora: Mediterranean Elements in Judeo-Spanish Choral Arrangements
DESCRIPTION:**Note: The location of this event has changed. It will take place in Kane Hall\, room 220.\nLadino songs reflect a wealth of musical influences\, from Turkish scales to Balkan rhythms. In this lecture-recital\, recent Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) graduate Sarah Riskind will discuss Mediterranean features of Sephardic music and how these elements can be highlighted in arrangements for chorus. The Seattle Jewish Chorale (directed by Jacob Finkle) will perform a selection of classic Judeo-Spanish songs\, including “Par’o Era Estrellero\,” “Durme\, Durme\,” and “Cuando el Rey Nimrod.” \nPlease RSVP for this event at the bottom of the page. \nGet ready with Dr. Riskind’s brief explainer: What makes music sound Jewish (2018) \nDid you miss the event? Check out the UW Daily’s writeup\, which includes a number of audio excerpts. \nAbout the speaker\nSarah Riskind is a choral conductor\, composer\, vocalist\, and music educator based in Seattle. She recently received her DMA in choral conducting from the University of Washington\, completing a dissertation entitled “Informed and Informative: New Choral Arrangements of Sephardic Music\,” and she is the Music Director at Magnolia United Church of Christ. With previous degrees from Williams College and the University of Wisconsin at Madison\, she has directed ensembles at the University of Washington\, the University of Wisconsin at Madison\, Williams College\, the German International School of Boston\, and the First Parish Church of Berlin\, MA; she has also assistant-conducted the Renaissance choir Convivium Musicum and the Boston Children’s Chorus.

SUMMARY:Seattle Jewish Film Festival Sephardic Spotlight | Children of the Inquisition
DESCRIPTION:Carlos DeMedeiros\, one of the subjects featured in “Children of the Inquisition” \nJoin the Seattle Jewish Film Festival for this year’s Sephardic Spotlight film\, the 2018 documentary “Children of Inquisition\,” directed by Joseph Lovett. \nImagine discovering a hidden past that shakes your worldview and sense of self. For New York Times journalist Doreen Carvajal\, learning of her family’s Jewish roots in Spain challenged her Catholic identity and led her on a journey of historical and self-discovery. \nThis documentary follows Carvajal and other descendants of Spanish and Portuguese families and “conversos” (the Spanish term for Jews converted to Roman Catholicism) as they uncover their complicated and nuanced roots. \n“Children of the Inquisition” uses a familiar travelogue style to trot around the globe and delve into the global mass conversion resulting from the Spanish Inquisition. Original manuscripts dating as far back as the 14th century and oral traditions secretly passed down through the generations unearth hidden histories of the Jews of Spain and Portugal. \nThe film features University of Washington historian Devin Naar and members of Seattle’s Sephardic Congregation Ezra Bessaroth. \nBuy tickets and learn more on the Seattle Jewish Film Festival website. \nFollowed by an echar lashon (coffee klatch) with coffee\, tea\, biscochos\, and our special guests.

SUMMARY:Seattle Jewish Film Festival | The Tobacconist
DESCRIPTION:Bruno Ganz as Sigmund Freud \n**The Stroum Center has a limited number of complimentary tickets available. If you are interested\, please contact jewishst@uw.edu. Include your contact information and the number of tickets you’d like. \nJoin the Seattle Jewish Film Festival for the 2018 film “The Tobacconist\,” directed by Nikolaus Leytner. \nFranz\, a 17-year-old boy from rural Austria\, comes to Vienna to apprentice in a smoke shop. Although tyranny under the Nazi occupation and hatred towards Jews has worsened oppression and conditions\, the tobacco store remains a small sanctuary for newspaper- and cigarette-seekers. He gradually befriends Sigmund Freud\, the renowned psychoanalyst and a regular customer. When the shop’s politically outspoken owner is taken away by the Nazis\, Franz and Freud stand at the crossroads of survival. \nBased on Austrian writer Robert Seethaler′s novel of the same name\, “The Tobacconist\,” is a tender and gripping coming-of-age story under tragic circumstances through the Freudian lens of dreams\, libido\, and death that transform a boy to a man. Actor Bruno Ganz (“Wings of Desire”) plays Freud. \nBuy tickets and learn more on the Seattle Jewish Film Festival website.
