About this Event
An inventive collaboration between acclaimed composers Oren Neiman and Gilad Ephrat, "Songs of the Valley" is a joyful New York-based quintet. By weaving together the intricate textures of World-string traditions with the improvisational spirit of Chamber-jazz, the ensemble creates a cinematic and deeply emotional soundscape.
Featuring a unique instrumentation of violin, guitar, upright bass, percussion, and wordless vocals, the project celebrates the organic interplay between five distinct musical voices.
"Outstanding Mid-Eastern inspired jazz to a sold-out audience... music to be treasured." — Alan Lutwin, Executive Artistic Director, Westchester Collaborative Theater
"A uniquely evocative sound... hypnotic music with the transportive power of a great film score" — Cantor Daniel Mendelson
