INTRODUCTION TO YIDDISH SONGS
20. März bis 19. Juni - In English!
In this series of six evenings, musician/composer and former Fulbright researcher Benjy Fox-Rosen will introduce a wide ranging repertoire of Yiddish songs, including pieces that he learned while doing fieldwork in Romania and Moldova. The group will focus on Yiddish pronunciation, as well as covering basics of singing comfortably. Non-musicians are especially welcome!
20.3.2017
Yiddish Songs 101
We will learn a few classic songs, focusing on pronunciation. A gentle introduction, with some lullabies, and one or two schlagers.
27.3.2017
The Songs of Mordechai Gebirtig
Krakow's Mordechai Gebirtig (1877-1942) was a master folk-poet and songwriter. His songs are at times sentimental, nostalgic, bitterly satirical and beautifully heartbreaking.
3.4.2017
Who says Jews don't drink?
Great songs to accompany a bisele bronfn, a shnepsl, some mayim khayim, or anything else one may drink. L'khayim l'sholem!
29.5.2017
Esn
An evening of songs that will whet your appetite. Sing about borsht, varnitshkes, fish and homentashn! A few recipes will be shared as well.
12.06.2017
Chassidic and Anti-Chassidic songs
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the tensions between the maskilim, the secularizing Jews, and their coreligionists ran high. A great repertoire of songs making fun of each other arose. We will look at a few of these very comical pieces, as well as one beautiful Chassidic gem written by the Kaliver Rebbe.
19.6.2017
Oy, Mayne Libe Besarabiye Yiddish Songs from Moldova
This session will focus on some of the unique songs from Moldova, the region historically known as Bessarabia. These songs are a fascinating hybrid of Russian, Romanian and Yiddish songs styles. We will focus on the songs of Zelik Barditshever.

YIDDISH MUSIC ON FILM!!!
Film-und Vortragsreihe / 4.4.-20.6.17 / In English
Join musician/composer Benjy Fox-Rosen for a series of film screenings highlighting the unique music of Yiddish cinema. The series will focus on lesser known songs that were never schlagers, but were unique musical moments captured on film- the unaccompanied singing of a mourning mother, the wailing of a cantor after he realizes the grave sin he has committed. The dramatic framework of the film allows us access to emotional, and most certainly aesthetic qualities, which cannot be found on popular commercial recordings. Each film screening will begin with a brief lecture discussing the composer, actors as well the historical and cultural contexts of the film. Series of six films. All films are in Yiddish with English supertitles. Lecture in English.
Mamele (Poland, 1938)
Directed by Joseph Green & Konrad Tom
Set and filmed in Lodz, Molly Picon stars in this delightful comedy featuring gangsters, mameles and beautiful songs, including "Abi Gezunt." Score composed by Abe Ellstein.

4. Apr / Di 18:30–20:30 Uhr
The Dybbuk/Der Dibuk (Poland, 1937)
Directed by Michal Waszynski
"Boundaries separating the natural from the supernatural dissolve as ill-fated pledges, unfulfilled passions, and untimely deaths ensnare two families in a tragic labyrinth of spiritual possession in this classic Yiddish feature film based on the celebrated play by S. Ansky." -Jewishfilm.org- Score composed by Henekh Kohn.

25. Apr / Di 18:30–21:00 Uhr
The Cantor's Son/Dem Khazns Zundl (USA, 1937)
Directed by Ilya Motyleff (Sidney Goldin, uncredited)
The screen debut of Cantor Moyshe Oysher. The cantor's son runs away to America, only to make his way back to his 'true' calling on the pulpit. Score composed by Alexander Olshanetsky.
17.26.7101.00.05 Benjy Fox-Rosen € 6,00
23. Mai / Di 18:30–20:30 Uhr
Tevye (USA, 1939)
Directed by Maurice Schwartz
Based on Sholom Aleichem's classic stories, this dramatic masterpiece has little singing in it. The score, however, is a masterful work, mixing modern and traditional elements with the ease that only Sholom Secunda (Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn) can. Score by Sholom Secunda.
17.26.7101.00.06 Benjy Fox-Rosen € 6,00
13. Jun / Di 18:30–20:30 Uhr
Yiddle With His Fiddle/Yidl Mitn Fidl (Poland, 1936)
Directed by Joseph Green & Jan Nowina-Przybylski
A cross-dressing Molly Picon stars as a poor klezmer musicians, traveling through Poland with her father. Fabulous drinking songs, as well as a few heart-jerking ballads. Score composed by Abe Ellstein.
17.26.7101.00.07 Benjy Fox-Rosen € 6,00

(Imayna Caceres/Pêdra Costa/Verena Melgarejo Weinandt)
On July 9, 1941, a decree stipulating the foundation of a "master school for art education and the training of secondary school art teachers" went out from the Reichsministerium für Wissenschaft, Erziehung und Volksbildung (Reich Ministry for Science, Education, and People's Education) in Berlin to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. The beginning of the institutionalization of a program for art teachers at the Academy, which is still largely unappraised seventy-five years later, has now been made the subject of a curatorial exhibition, research and education project.
Based on research by the historians Ina Markova, Rosemarie Burgstaller, and Sophie Bitter-Smirnov, the project's curators, Elke Krasny and Barbara Mahlknecht, have conceived of an open archive for the exhibition. This installation allows for an understanding how National Socialism informed art education: materials from the Academy's University Archive - personnel sheets, lists of students, curricula, exam regulations, minutes of professorial staff meetings, budgets, lists of master school awards and materials to be provided - document the institutional routine.
Activists and artists, many of whom have studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna or are teaching there now, were invited to present works or develop performances related to the subject. The artists' positions articulate activist interventions into the memory of institutions, relate to the standardization and disciplining of bodies through education, and reveal how women's politics were implicated in National Socialism. Some of the works reflect present-day changes in the realm of "multidirectional memory" (Michael Rothberg) and the meaning of "migrants' situated knowledge" (Ayse Güleç) in regard to politics of history.
On April 20 and 21, 2016, an international symposium with lectures, talks, and workshops will explore issues of institutional memory, National Socialist educational policy, the connections between politics of remembrance and artistic practices and question hegemonic histories in the field of art education.

Wiener Festwochen, Into the City, Hotel Metropole. Der Erinnerung eine Zukunft geben
Commission from the Wiener Festwochen, composed for the Gegenstimmen Choir.
"Was sie unterließ, haben wir getan."
["What they neglected, we did."]
Panel discussion on the struggles for memorialization and a commemoration ceremony for a never erected obelisk at Morzinplatz at 15:00
Monument at Morzinplatz, 1010 Vienna
A project by Zsuzsi Flohr (artist), Benjy Fox-Rosen (musician), Eduard Freudmann (artist), Eva Reinold (actress) in cooperation with schnittpunkt. ausstellungstheorie & praxis // Luisa Ziaja (curator) and Gegenstimmen // Stefan Foidl (choir director).
Panel discussion with Ruth Beckermann (filmmaker), Winfried Garscha (historian), Marty Huber (activist), Harald Walser (politician)and Florian Wenninger (historian), conceived and moderated by Luisa Ziaja.
"From the beginning of the commemoration ceremony, a group of former concentration camp inmates worked in the rubble unnoticed, obscured by a line of men and women. By 19:00, a truck arrived, which was immediately surrounded by comrades; under the professional grip of our KZlers, using the two beams -- the stone was set in its place. By 19:20 the truck drove off, the line dissolved and the monument was unveiled."
(From: Der Neue Mahnruf, magazine of the KZ-Verband).
As early as 1949 the KZ-Verband called for the creation of a monument dedicated to the victims of the Nazis at Morzinplatz. After two years of willful ignorance on the part of the city, it was decided to take action "without government authorization" and to erect a memorial stone on the sixth anniversary of the liberation of Vienna. The stone became a central place for anti-fascist remembrance. In 1968, the stone was relocated because of the construction of the Leopold Figl-Hof, and then in 1985 the stone was replaced by the monument that stands today. At that moment the yellow star, representing Jewish victims, was added to the stone's original red triangle, representing political victims, thereby enlarging the scope of the memorial. Since the 1990's there has been a struggle to commemorate homosexual and transgender victims as well -- so far with limited success.
The panel will discuss the struggle for memorialization on Morzinplatz. Self-organized interventions, and the official culture of commemoration are the markers of larger historico-political fault lines: which monuments were built on site, which were not? How does their visibility interact with discourse and public debate, on the one hand, and ritual and commemoration, on the other? Why does the city of Vienna have such a strained relationship to anti-fascist commemoration and the critical handling problematic monuments? Why must the city so often be forced into dealing with these issues?
During the event, a commemoration ceremony will be held for a never erected obelisk. Appropriately festive dress is required.

Podiumsdiskussion zum umkämpften Erinnern und Gedenkfeier für einen nie errichteten Obelisken am Morzinplatz um 15:00
Denkmal am Morzinplatz, 1010 Wien, Eintritt frei
Ein Projekt von Zsuzsi Flohr (Künstlerin), Benjy Fox-Rosen (Musiker), Eduard Freudmann (Künstler), Eva Reinold (Schauspielerin) in Kooperation mit schnittpunkt. ausstellungstheorie & praxis // Luisa Ziaja (Kuratorin) und Gegenstimmen // Stefan Foidl (Chorleiter)
Podiumsdiskussion mit Ruth Beckermann (Regisseurin), Winfried Garscha (Historiker), Marty Huber (Aktivistin), Harald Walser (Politiker) und Florian Wenninger (Zeithistoriker), konzipiert und moderiert von Luisa Ziaja.
"Von Beginn der [Befreiungs-]Kundgebung aber hinter einer Kette vonOrdnern, vollkommen unbemerkt, arbeitete sich eine Gruppe von ehemaligen KZlern in das Trümmerfeld hinein. Um 19 Uhr fuhr ein Lastauto vor, das sofort von Kameradinnen und Kameraden umringt wurde. Fachmännische Griffe unserer KZler, zwei Bretter - und der Stein war auf dem vorgesehenen Platz. Um 19 Uhr 20 fuhr das Lastauto weg, die Ordner zogen sich zurück und die Enthüllung des Denkmals wurde vorgenommen."
(aus: Der Neue Mahnruf, Zeitschrift des KZ-Verbands)
Bereits 1949 hatte der KZ-Verband ein Denkmal für die Nazi-Opfer am Morzinplatz gefordert. Nachdem zwei Jahre lang nichts geschehen war, beschloss man "ohne Bewilligung der 'Obrigkeit'" zur Tat zu schreiten und errichtete am sechsten Jahrestag der Befreiung Wiens einen Gedenkstein. Der Stein entwickelte sich zu einem zentralen Ort antifaschistischen Erinnerns. 1968 wurde er, anlässlich des Baus des Leopold Figl-Hofs, versetzt und 1985 schließlich durch das bis heute bestehende Denkmal ersetzt. Dabei erfolgte eine Erweiterung des Gedenkens: der rote Winkel, das Symbol für die politischen Opfer, wurde um einen gelben Stern, für die als Jüd_innen Verfolgten, ergänzt. Seit den 1990er-Jahren wird darum gekämpft, vor Ort auch den homosexuellen und transgender Opfern der Nazis zu gedenken -- bislang mit begrenztem Erfolg.
Eine Podiumsdiskussion widmet sich dem umkämpften Erinnern am Morzinplatz zwischen selbstorganisierten Interventionen und offizieller Gedenkkultur, an denen sich so manche geschichtspolitische Bruchlinien ablesen lassen: Welche Denkmäler wurden vor Ort errichtet, welche nicht? Wie verhält sich deren Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit zu Debatten und Diskursen einerseits, zu Ritualen und Zeremonien andererseits? Weshalb muss antifaschistisches Gedenken und der kritische Umgang mit problematischen Denkmälern der Stadt Wien, damals wie heute, so oft in mühseligen, jahrelangen Kämpfen abgerungen werden?
Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung wird eine Gedenkfeier für einen nie errichteten Obelisken abgehalten. Um zahlreiches Erscheinen in angemessen festlicher Kleidung wird gebeten.

Festival of New Yiddish Song
Monday, September 9th, 7:00PM
A special concert celebrating the work of leading musicians and composers who are at the vanguard of developing a new canon of Yiddish song. Working through a transnational artistic network, these individuals are creating new music that is both rooted in tradition yet endowed with a contemporary expressive vision.
This program features the U.S. debut of the extraordinary Berlin-based singer Sveta Kundish, who has been taking the European Yiddish world by storm, and new compositions by artists such as the Yiddish Art Trio (Patrick Farrell, Benjy Fox-Rosen and Michael Winograd) as well as renowned Yiddish songwriter/singer Josh Waletzky. Special guest: violinist Deborah Strauss.
