About Four Seasons in New York – Gems of Japanese Music
New York’s music scene reflects the diverse and vibrant culture of the city. Kimura, together with CRS (Center for Remembering and Sharing), began this concert series in the fall of 2015. As a Japanese instrumentalist, she hopes to introduce the brilliance of traditional Japanese music, which is still being passed on to future generations after many centuries. Starting with the 2018-19 season, the series has featured contemporary pieces composed by living composers as well. Since the first concert, about 40 works from the classical repertoire have been introduced in the concert series. Please come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York!
About past performances: https://www.yokoreikanokimura.com/projects/fourseasons/
Grand Master JAMES NYURAKU SCHLEFER is a virtuoso performer of traditional and contemporary shakuhachi music, an esteemed teacher in the Kinko school, and a ground-breaking composer. Honored by Musical America International as one of their “30 Top Professionals and Influencers,” Nyoraku Sensei’s efforts promote and sustain traditional shakuhachi music through performances, lecture/demonstrations, residencies, and concert programming. His original compositions forge new ground with contemporary works for both Japanese and Western instruments and ensembles. “James Nyoraku Schlefer occupies a special place in [New York City’s] cultural life, composing and performing music that bridges Western and Japanese styles” — THE NEW YORKER. In 2008 Schlefer co-founded Kyo-Shin-An Arts to further his enthusiasm of combining the sounds of Japanese and Western classical music traditions. Since that time KSA has commissioned dozens of new compositions, presented an annual series of concerts in New York, and partnered with classical ensembles throughout the US and in the UK.

Starting with the 2018-19 season, the series has featured contemporary pieces composed by living composers as well.

Sufi Dance Class with Paola García
2022-06-11 13:00 - 15:00 | Anahid Sofian Studio, 29 W 15th St FL6, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Learn the ancient practice of meditative whirling known as Sufi dance or Sema (Sama in Iranian). You will learn the techniques of whirling, but Sema is not about reproducing a certain form or aesthetic. Rather, the technique serves as a vehicle for inner journeying. Sema means spiritual listening. Together we’ll create a sacred space in which we can safely listen to and share our true selves and experience oneness with the Divine.
Each class consists of some explanation of the theory and technique, exercises, practice whirling, and sharing and discussion of what you experienced and felt.
Each class is $30.
To register, please contact paolasufidance@gmail.com
Please remember to wear comfortable clothing like yoga pants or leggings and T shirts (no tube tops or short pants/skirts, solid colors are recommended, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt, please feel free to bring it.
Please avoid eating a large meal for two hours before class.
Whirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Over time, through whirling, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance, to be dizzy, to surrender control. We empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power, the still center within, around which we turn. Into this emptiness floods a divine fullness, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One.
PAOLA GARCÍA teaches Sufi dance and performs with the CRS Sufi dance community and elsewhere. She has studied extensively with Sufi dance artist Rana Gorgani in NYC and in Europe and was awarded the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO by her, granting Paola authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training. She has performed in multiple venues including Mana Contemporary, Alwan Center for the Arts, The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, From the Horse’s Mouth, The Outlet Dance Project, Dixon Place, MODArts Dance Collective, Queens Library, and Jamaica Center for the Arts among others. Paola holds a Master’s Degree in Islamic Studies from Columbia University and a J.D. from Columbia Law School. She is a writer, Middle Eastern Studies researcher, lawyer, translator and student of Sufism.

Wanderlust: An Evening of Poetry, Movement & Visuals by Azerbaijani Artist Elya Osmanova
2022-06-12 19:00 - 20:00 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents Wanderlust, an evening with Azerbaijani Artist Elya Osmanova in the award-winning White Room at CRS on June 12 at 7pm. Using multidisciplinary art forms such as poetry, movement & visuals, this traveling artist leads us through a journey to uncover the meanings we give to home & belonging.
What is home? What’s belonging?! Do we belong to the language that we speak or the language that we think?! While exploring all of these concepts, Wanderlust gives the space to the audience to be part of process of exploration and sharing as a community, as part of her ongoing project.
Tickets are $20 and are available online through Eventbrite and at the door (cash only) if not sold out. Proof of full vaccination is required to enter, no exceptions. Masks must be worn throughout. Seating is limited and includes seating on the floor.

At the first M³ Gala, hosted by music writer Kyla Marshell, Shanta Nurullah will be honored with the M³ Lifetime Achievement Award. This award fills a gap that exists in honoring elder women in the jazz and creative music scene, whose musical contributions have been invisibilized due to racism and misogyny.
Kyla Marshell’s essays, poems, interviews and reviews have appeared in The Guardian, Gawker, BuzzFeed, The Believer, Kinfolk, O, the Oprah Magazine, Shondaland, The Ringer, and elsewhere. She has earned Jacob K. Javits, Cave Canem and MacDowell fellowships; Ebony.com named her one of “7 Young Black Writers You Should Know.”
Shanta Nurullah is a Chicago based multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, and educator. Her current projects include: Shanta – Storyteller; Sitarsys – the sitar is the focal point in this Spiritual Jazz ensemble; Shanta Nurullah Trio – an eclectic grouping that combines storytelling with improvisational music; ShaZah – Zahra Baker joins Shanta in this folk duo; and Freedom Song Leaders – sharing the joy and power of communal singing. Bring Shanta’s gentle power into your world.

Crossing Boundaries Vol. 17: Through Her Eyes
2022-06-25 19:00 - 20:30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS presents Crossing Boundaries Concert Series Vol. 17: THROUGH HER EYES on June 25, 2022 at 7 pm in the award-winning White Room at CRS. The program features three female musicians — gamin (piri, saenghwang), Jacqueline Kerrod (electric harp), and Mariel Roberts (cello) — and video by Sook Jin Jo from her art installations in Brazil and South Korea, including her installation of 304 lights in remembrance of the Sewol Ferry disaster in which 304 people, mostly high school students, died en route to Jeju island, South Korea on April 16, 2014. This concert is dedicated to those beautiful spirits who became stars.
Curated by multi-Instrumentalist gamin, this fifth season of Crossing Boundaries consists of three concerts exploring the theme of WOMEN IN MUSIC performed by female and female-identifying musicians. Following the performance there will be a conversation with the audience about the concert and the theme of gender in the music industry.
Tickets are $20 – $30 and are available online through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only, if not sold out. Seating is limited and includes floor seating on blankets. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted, no exceptions. In addition, masks must be worn throughout.

The photo of the stars is of “The Face of Heaven,” a 304 LED light Installation copyright @ 2016 by Sook Jin Jo, which was commissioned by Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art for April: the Eternal Voyage, an exhibition memorializing the 304 victims of the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014, photo: Tae Hoon Lee.
“Gamin is one of the most celebrated piri, taepyeongso and saengwhang performers in Korea today.” — Silkroad
“Cellist Mariel Roberts has evolved to become one of the most adventurous figures on New York’s new music scene—one with a thorough grounding in classical tradition but a ravenous appetite for and tireless discipline in new work.” — Bandcamp Daily
“Many people think of original music in a hierarchical sense, looking down on pure improvisation as something that doesn’t require mastery or discipline. One listen to Jacqueline Kerrod’s solo harp debut will serve as an epiphany for those cynics. In fact, I found myself awestruck by Kerrod’s seemingly limitless expressive range.”— Yoshi Maclear Wall The Whole Note
“Jo’s work operates at the intersection of abstraction and human need, creating intimate spaces and experiences of peace and solace that acknowledge emotional or spiritual connections.” — Sculpture
Crossing Boundaries Vol. 18: FREEDOM will be held on July 16 in Marc A. Scorca Hall at the National Opera Center. Crossing Boundaries Vol. 16: FOCUSING ON HER, co-presented by Tenri Cultural Institute of NY, has been re-scheduled for Dec 10, 2022 at Tenri.
THE PROGRAM
Face of Heaven“The Face of Heaven” is a memorial Installation for the Sewol Ferry disaster in which 304 people, mostly high school students, died en route from Incheon to Jeju, South Korea on April 16, 2014.
The work is an experiental installation composed of 304 lights shining like stars through different size holes; offering a metaphor of longing, remembrance and comfort for those who died in the Sewol ferry tragedy, and shedding light on the dark reality of an unsolved issue.“When he shall die,Take him and cut him out in little stars,And he will make the face of heaven so fineThat all the world will be in love with nightAnd pay no worship to the garish sun.”– William Shakespeare
CrossroadsInspired by: “It is a true philosophy to meditate on death.”While working at a Sacatar Foundation residency in Brazil in late 2007 and early 2008, the artist spent a great deal of time observing nature: The sun rising in the morning and the coming of night everyday….The water coming in and out everyday. The ebb and flow of the tide which is different every day.
“Leaving with nothing…leaving with just memory…the cycle of nature…the cycle of life and death.”This is a piece to reflect the artist’s observations, experiences and thoughts.
Wooden grave markers, reminiscent of primitive crossroad signs, were placed in an elemental meeting of earth, sea, and sky. Installed at sunset on the shore at low tide, I gathered them up before they washed away.

Korean born, New York based artist SOOK JIN JO is a multidisciplinary artist. Over the past 30 years, Sook Jin Jo has produced drawings, collages, photographs, sculptural assemblages, performances, installations, public works, and architectural design works.

Continuing her work with this medium, she has discovered infinite possibilities for painting, sculpture, installation and beyond. She often chose marginalized sites for her outdoor installations and public artworks. Most of them are site-specific and collaborative, working with professionals and local peoples from diverse communities in many countries, including Sweden, India, Poland, Switzerland, Korea, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Brazil and the United States.
Jo’s works can be seen in numerous public collections, including the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Korea; the Seoul Museum of Art in Korea; Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, Ansan, Korea; the Erie Museum of Art in Pennsylvania; the Huntington Museum of Art in West Virginia; the Housatonic Museum of Art in Connecticut; the Arko Art Center in Seoul, Korea; the LA Metro Detention Center in Los Angeles; and the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse in Miami.

Healing Concert with Neda Boin
2022-07-11 19:30 - 20:30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS welcomes back our dear friend award-winning Dutch-Persian singer songwriter Neda Boin of the Netherlands for an intimate evening of soulful music in the White Room. Neda’s music is heart touching, powerful, and deeply connective, and will easily bring you in touch with the love you truly are.
Tickets for the concert are by donation on Eventbrite (and cash only at the door). Seating is extremely limited and RSVP is greatly encouraged. At this time, proof of full vaccination is required to enter, and masks will be required to be worn throughout. Latecomers are not guaranteed entry.
Neda just released her new album, “Remember You’re Dreaming.” The songs are all deeply inspired and give an intimate look inside her own journey from fear to love.
“On the 21st of December, a Persian holiday where the return of the light is celebrated, singer-songwriter Neda Boin, who got known for her four-chair-turn blind audition on The Voice, released her new album, ‘Remember You’re Dreaming.’ In a time where cases of depression are massively growing and where social media tends to hide our true face, Neda honestly shares her own process of grief, feeling lost and trying to find her way back home in this beautiful and heart-touching album. Neda recorded the album in Victoria BC, where she worked together with multi-Grammy award winning producer Joby Baker. The warm and inspiring songs are there for anyone who could use some extra light during dark times.” — music journalist and producer Rick Jamm

“Listening to Neda sing brings forth an experience of Divine Love within. She has a gift of expressing the sound of Heaven so we can all remember the Love that exists within each one of us. Neda’s music makes me feel pure joy. She has the voice of an angel.” — Corinne Zupko, Ed.S., author of From Anxiety to Love
“Neda’s music is a way to merge with the Spirit and feel the absolute glory of Divine Love. Her amazing voice enhances the lyrics from Heaven, and my soul is lifted every time I listen.” — David Hoffmeister, author of Unwind Your Mind Back to God
Her first album, “The Light Has Come,” won Best Album of the Year at the Rotterdam Music Awards. Amazingly, Neda, then a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for 8+ years, channeled all the songs on the album in just two weeks, all inspired from ACIM Workbook lessons, making it the first album inspired by ACIM to win album of the year. Profoundly spiritual in nature, the songs are deeply satisfying as songs, with beautiful and irresistible music colored with soul, jazz and world music inflections, brought to soaring life by Neda’s angelic voice.
