The Keepers Of the Flame / Sunday September 24th
The Borderlands Foundation was delighted to recently host world famous musicians David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg at the International Dialogue Center Krasnogruda to both lead and perform their hour long composition "The Keepers Of the Flame" as part of the Borderlands annual "Mysterium of the Bridge" event.
They were joined by our klezmer band and soloists from Syria and Ukraine in an absolutely magical performance that took place in Krasnagruda's outdoor amphitheater. The piece was developed during an intensive rehearsal period at Krasnagruda in a collaborative process that incorporated contributions from the composers, the klezmer orchestra of the Sejny Theater under the direction of Wojciech Szroeder and special guests: Shadi Al Maghrabi (oud, Syria-Germany Jehad Jazbeh (violin, Syria-Germany), Youssef Nassif (kanun, Syria-Germany), Mykhaylo "Manu" Balogh (saxophone, Ukraine-Poland).
