24 august 2008, 3 p.m., Yael Bat-Shimon at The Nave Gallery, $10
The Nave presents violinist Yael Bat-Shimon in a performance of her unique brand of soulful, inventive, sometimes playful improvisations (or "live compositions"). She is joined in several duo improvisations by guest guitarist Ariel Burger, who brings his own imagination and deep sensitivity to the mix.
Yael Bat-Shimon studied violin solo performance in Paris with Mme Miriam Solovieff. She received her BA from Harvard in Literature, specializing in French Feminisms. Yael pursued graduate study in violin performance and contemporary improvisation at the Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore and at the New England Conservatory in Boston. She also holds an MA in Jewish Studies from Hebrew College. Most recently, she has been creating and performing music for choreographers of modern dance as well as exploring improvisation both with musicians from non-Western traditions and with performers from different artistic media. This has led to her founding of the interdisciplinary improvisational performance group "Inter Alia."
Ariel Burger is a teacher, artist and musician. He received his PhD in Theology, Jewish Thought and Social Ethics from Boston University, where he was a student and teaching assistant of Elie Wiesel. He was taught music by his father, a guitarist and choral composer, and has performed at Carnegie Hall. Ariel has a special affinity for improvisation, and is especially interested in what happens when different melodies and disparate rhythms intersect. His playing can be heard on several recordings.
