Bridges in Sound Concert Series: Songs of Sweetness & Sorrow
All events in seriesBJ Music Director, Dan Nadel returns to 92NY to curate and lead a yearlong concert series in collaboration with Congregation Rodeph Sholom, co-sponsored by B’nai Jeshurun.
In the first concert of this series, Metropolitan Opera mezzo-soprano Maya Lahyani and acclaimed guitarist Dan Nadel— both Israeli-born and New York-based—come together in a deeply personal and collaborative exploration of Israeli female lyricists and composers.
Rooted in the voices of creative women, this program weaves themes of home, peace, love, family, nature, consolation, and coexistence—emotions at once intimate and universal. These songs, drawn from across a millennium of Jewish traditions and diasporas, offer a poignant, often-overlooked narrative within the Israeli songbook: one of beauty, longing, fear, and hope.
Featured Artists include:
- Maya Lahyani, Vocals
- Sara Caswell, Violin
- Satoshi Takeishi, Drums
- Dan Nadel, Guitar & Music Direction
Ticket price: $18
Registration coming soon!
The Bridges in Sound Concert Series brings together diverse musical traditions and transcultural voices, exploring the emotional, historical, and spiritual threads that connect us through song.
