Shofar

Line-up:

The group’s repertoire consists of traditional Jewish religious music. Not unlike in the case of Torah commentary, here, in the case of Shofar, through music the trio re-enacts different modes of religiousness. For that reason, alongside Chassidic niguns, we will encounter music typical of the oldest synagogue rituals and cantor songs of the interim period sharing the spot with music associated with Reform Judaism. Shofar plays compositions chronicled as a result of pre-war musicological research in Ukraine, Poland and Moldavia. Most of them are “niguns”, i.e. magical religious songs, often leading to trance and ecstasy. The band also performs “frejlaksy”, more dance-oriented songs and compositions rooted in Jewish liturgy.


Shofar released its self-titled debut record in 2007. Its follow-up „Ha-Huncvot” was launched in 2013 during a concert at New York’s Lincoln Center. December 2013 saw the release of a concert DVD containing Shofar’s performance at Warsaw club Powiększenie.
