Big Galut(e)

Winner of the Simcha Prize at the 2017 International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam, Big Galut(e) has been described as ‘soulful and un-selfconsciously poignant’, ‘jubilant’, ‘a real treat for open minds’, and ‘a serious band with lousy American humor’. Big Galut(e) performs a unique repertoire of Jewish music spanning five continents and six centuries. Highlights of the 2017 season include appearances in Amsterdam, at the prestigious Glimmerglass Festival, and on the New York Klezmer Series.

Noted by critics for “the virtuosity of its members”, the band has been heard on APM’s Performance Today, PRI’s The World, and WNYC’s New Sounds, among many radio and TV outlets. The band has appeared as soloists with orchestra, at the National Yiddish Book Center, at chamber music venues (sharing season series with Dawn Upshaw and Zuill Bailey, among others), at colleges from Stanford to Oberlin to Hebrew Union, and at temples, synagogues, and JCCs from Hawaii to the East Coast.
