On Sunday, March 1 at 2 pm, the Jewish Temple will host a concert featuring the Afro-Semitic Experience, a musical group featuring David Chevan (upright bass) and Warren Byrd (keyboard and vocals).  David is from Connecticut and Warren will be traveling here from Amsterdam. The Afro-Semitic Experience blends African American and Jewish musical traditions into something soulful and joyful, while simultaneously genre-defying. Their partnership started with a simple idea: to bring together spirituals, gospel, and Jewish liturgical music and use a jazz lens to interpret and meld those traditions. The Temple brought them here for a concert 20 years ago and it was very well received.  We are delighted to be able to have them perform here again.

This concert is free and open to the community. A reception will follow the concert.  The concert will be held in the Temple sanctuary.  You can enter from the glass doors on Turner Street.  The concert is made possible by the Bindursky-Fuhrer Fund.
