Ha'Oman Hai Ensemble
Prof. Andre Hajdu, aged 77, winner of The Israel Prize for musical life achievement (1997), has gathered a group of young and daring musicians – mostly prior students of his own – to create the musical phenomenon known as "Ha'Oman Hai Ensemble". Together, this group made up entirely of active composers / musicians / performers, explore and experiment ancient Jewish melodies and texts, combining them into new and modern musical expressions. The result challenges traditional definitions of Jewish identity, Jewish culture and Jewish music, providing a rich and always unexpected adventure for listeners around the world.
Enclosed are further details and recordings of two of the ensemble's notable successes, including two current album releases:
"Writing from Within" ("Kulmus HaNefesh") produced and released by Hebrew University's Jewish Music Research Center
and
"Tafillalt" produced by John Zorn released under Zorn's prestigious Tzadik label in New York.
