  A Crankie Musical Storytelling Performance: "Shterna and the Lost Voice" (Main)

  Main Library, Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

  This new folktale by A. C. Weaver is inspired by mythical stories of Elyahu Hanovi and traditional Yiddish folklore, and produced by members of Mamaliga Klezmer Band. Shterna and the Lost Voice follows a young woman’s quest from the realms of the dead to the celestial gardens of the immortal – all to restore her friend's lost voice. Shterna’s epic adventure is accompanied by live original klezmer music while the narrative unfolds through a papercut crankie. This dynamic performance is geared towards audiences of all ages! Shterna and the Lost Voice is presented by The Magid Ensemble (magid, meaning “storyteller” in Yiddish) – a new collaboration featuring award-winning klezmer musicians and composers Mattias Kaufmann, Raffi Boden, and Rachel Leader, Yiddishist storyteller A. C. Weaver, and visual artist Kiah Raymond. This event is generously sponsored by Combined Jewish Philanthropies, and the Cambridge Local Cultural, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
