Conversation and Concert with Deborah Sacks Mintz
A musician, educator, and prayer facilitator, Deborah Sacks Mintz serves as a resource to communities across North America and beyond who seek to deepen their practice of empowered song and connective prayer. Like last week, Deborah will sit down virtually with NMAJH public programs manager and musician, Dan Samuels, to talk about her upbringing, musical influences, favorite collaborators, and what drives her efforts to heal the world with music. We will premiere a new batch of never-before-seen captivating recordings of Deborah and the Hadar Ensemble and see if—just maybe—we can get Deborah to sing something for us live.
To watch: Look for the LIVE post on the Museum's Facebook page at 6pm EST. You do not need a Facebook account to view the program.
About the series:
This new series explores music from varied Jewish traditions and diverse cultures, from the historic and traditional to the contemporary and reimagined. Through conversations, performances, videos, audio, and audience Q&A, this series will use music to better understand the complex, culturally diverse communities which make up the Jewish People, and our Nation.
The first three installments of this series will celebrate and explore contemporary Jewish music with noticeable influences from near and far through the leaders of the Philadelphia-based Rising Song Institute.
