Alicia Svigals may just be the world's greatest living klezmer violinist.

The Boston Festival of New Jewish Music is delighted to present Alicia alongside celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin in a cine-concert performance of THE CITY WITHOUT JEWS.

First shown in 1924, THE CITY WITHOUT JEWS is the best known work of Austrian Expressionist filmmaker Hans Karl Breslauer. Based on the 1922 novel by Hugo Bettauer, it is a satirical allegory of the near future for Europe, a sendup of antisemitism that was remarkable prescient and has remained unfortunately relevant.

Join us for this live presentation at the Somerville Amory, with live original music composed and performed by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin.

This program is made possible in part thanks to the generous support of the Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts.
