With the High Holidays are just around the corner, there is lots more to look forward to at the JCJ soon after! Two music events are planned for October appealing to a wide variety of interests. With Japan opening up, we are honored to have several touring artists to do exclusive events at the JCJ.
Gernsheim Duo – Classical music performance
October 5 (Thursday), 7:00pm
Anna Gann, soprano & Naoko Christ-Kato, piano, on tour from Germany.
Friedrich Gernsheim (1839-1916), Karl Goldmark (1830-1915), and Salomon Jadassohn (1831-1902) were respected and admired composers of their time. Their works, which had been actively published and performed, today rest largely unknown in libraries and archives. But the greater part of the compositions are no longer able to be recovered; they remain destroyed and irreparably lost. The Gernsheim Duo would like to counteract this forgetting and to make a small part of the lost riches audible again.

Masha the Rich Man – folk-pop singer with autoharp
October 19 (Thursday), 7:30pm
Singer Maria Raykhman, Ukrainian-born, Berlin-based, performing live with her autoharp. Through her melancholic folk-pop, the artist creates a timeless parallel world that welcomes listeners into a state of loneliness. Masha’s lyrics are about world-weariness, dreams, formative memories and at the same time mark the beginning of her self-healing. More info and recordings here.
