"Sheine Nechome" Concert

In the Sanctuary

$20.00 per ticket

Shasta County’s Klezmer Ensemble: "Sheine Nechome" (pronounced Shayna Neshama)  Sheine Nechome means

beautiful soul in Yiddish. They are the far north states only group performing Klezmer music, which is traditional music from old

Jewish settlements of the late 1800’s in eastern and central Europe, Yiddish theater favorites from the early 1900’s, Ashkenazi

classics, and contemporary pieces in the Klezmer style. The music gives cultural insight into the Ashkenazi Jewish community and family life from well over a hundred years ago.

Much of Klezmer, being dance-oriented, was originally played at weddings and other celebrations. With the addition of lyrical theater pieces, you can hear that the music gives cultural insight into Ashkenazi Jewish community and family life in those days and

embodies both humor and heart. As many early Klezmer players were traveling minstrels, you may hear musical influences from neighboring geographical areas beyond eastern and central Europe.
