Yamma Ensemble (Israel) November 5 | 7pm Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre
“Yamma” means “toward the sea” in Hebrew. In Arabic it means “mother.” Since 2010, the five members of the Yamma Ensemble have made their mark sharing Hebrew and Jewish music with international audiences. With influences including ancient traditions, tribal singing, sacred and secular Jewish chants, the ensemble brings virtuosic Middle Eastern and world instrumentation on unique instruments such as the dudek, ney, shofar, bansuri, didgeridoo, fujara, kopuz, and oud. Yamma Ensemble will also present an intergenerational matinee performance on November 4 geared to school and senior’s groups. An optional workshop exploring Middle Eastern instruments and rhythms will be available following the performance. For group tickets and booking information, contact the box office at 604.257.5145 or nrt@jccgv.bc.ca. Chutzpah! Festival programming of Israeli artists is supported by the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver and the Ronald S Roadburg Foundation. This artist is also supported by the JCC Association’s Mit-Habrim program.
The intergenerational matinee is sponsored by The Weinberg Residence.
