Another genre of Jewish music that I’ve had a hard instance tracking is Jewish classical / art music. Despite there being a enlarged tradition of Jewish composers and performers, I’ve had a hard date getting oriented to the scene. Part of it is not knowing the proper terminology, part of it is just not knowing which websites track the scene. But I think I’m getting there, and hope to showcase lots more as the days go by…

Here’s a great example. The Feinsmith Quartet is “… contemporary music at

its most melodious — full of tension but with thrilling rhythm” (Kaija Pepper, The Dance Current) The quartet will be playing in San Francisco that weekend at the SF Jewish Community Center. You can get more knowledge on the quartet and the show at their website and their myspace page. They have an album coming out any day now. Hopefully I’ll get to announce it in my next Recent and Upcoming Albums list.
