The Hevreh Ensemble will offer a concert to raise funds to aid the citizens of Ukraine at Christ Church Newton at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 30.
The Hevreh Ensemble’s four classically trained musicians are of Jewish heritage, and they perform compositions by group member Jeff Adler.
The Hevreh Ensemble’s unique repertoire is influenced by jazz, classical, Eastern European, Jewish folk traditions, and Native American work. Their concerts have delighted audiences and critics alike with appearances throughout the United States and Europe, including New York City, the Newport Chamber Music Festival, Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, as well as concerts in Vienna, Berlin, Bonn, Amsterdam, Prague, and Krakow. The wide and varied instrumentation includes the innovative use of Cherokee Native American flutes, along with clarinet, bass clarinet, oboe, English horn, and world percussion instruments such as djembe, dumbek, ocean drum, balafon, kalimba, rain stick, tabla, log drum, keyboard, and shofar.
A free will offering will be taken after the performance; all proceeds will benefit the work by Project HOPE in Ukraine.
For those unable to attend, the concert will be live streamed at https://youtube.com/c/ChristChurchNewton. Donations can also be made by check to Christ Church Newton with “Ukraine Concert” listed on the memo line.
