Jewish Instrumental, Choral & Dance at Osher Marin JCC
LILITH: the Night Demon
A Magical Folk Opera of the Alternate Jewish Story of Creation
In One Lewd Act
Lilith, the adult alternate Jewish story of creation, a magical folk opera by instrumentalists Veretski Pass in collaboration with the San Francisco Choral Artists. The group of virtuosic multi-instrumentalists, Veretski Pass, brings together Jewish and non-Jewish sounds from across Europe to the Osher Marin JCC’s Kanbar Center on Thursday, May 1 @ 7:30.
The extraordinary and often bizarre score to Lilith, composed by award-winning composer, Josh Horowitz, features both choral and instrumental ensembles as well as Heather Klein (Lilith), Anthony Russell (Adam), and Michael Wex (narrator).
The edgy and humorous libretto draws on texts gleaned from Jewish superstitions, omens, dreams, and curses. San Francisco Choral Artists, a chamber ensemble of 24 singers, is widely recognized as one of the finest choral ensembles on the West Coast. The production is directed by Magen Solomon, artistic director of the Choral Artists
