SUMMARY:Aguas: Time and Memory | A Jazz Concert with Damián Birbrier and Guests
DESCRIPTION:On January 8\, please join the Museum of Jewish Montreal at Casa del Popolo with Damián Birbrier and guests for a concert that weaves memory into improvised soundscapes. \nAs a continuation of the project previously presented in Aguas: Dialogues Through Improvised Music\, this new jazz concert opens a deeper chapter in the exploration of sound\, space\, and the passage of time. Aguas: Time and Memories focuses on the traces that linger within us: memories inherited\, forgotten\, or rediscovered\, and how they resurface through improvised music. \nFor this new edition\, the ensemble expands into a quartet\, bringing together: Damián Birbrier (saxophones)\, Vovô Saramanda\, (percussion)\, Manoel Vieira (piano and accordion)\, and Antoine Rochefort (bass). \nThis new configuration offers a wide and fluid sonic palette\, allowing the music to move between intimate textures\, open landscapes\, and dense collective improvisations. Each performance emerges spontaneously from shared listening\, personal histories\, and the atmosphere of the room\, creating a space where time feels elastic and memory becomes sound. \nListeners are immersed in a living soundscape\, engaging with the music as it takes shape and reveals its unexpected contours. \nAdvance tickets $16. Door tickets $20. Doors at 7:30pm. Performance at 8:00pm. Capacity is limited so early registration is encouraged. Reserve your ticket here. \nAccessibility: This event will take place offsite at Casa del Popolo (4873 boul. Saint-Laurent). This venue is accessible via ramp from the main entrance. \nAbout the Performers: \nBorn in Buenos Aires to a Brazilian mother and a Jewish Argentinean father\, saxophonist\, improviser\, and composer Damián Birbrier was raised in the lush countryside of Southcentral Brazil. He began his musical journey within the vibrant tradition of local marching bands and popular rhythms. \nBorn in Salvador de Bahia\, Brazil\, in 1954\, Vovô Saramanda is a dynamic artist who blends the roles of singer\, songwriter\, and percussionist. After moving to Montreal in 1980\, he became a trailblazer at the city’s International Jazz Festival and contributed significantly to Cirque du Soleil’s iconic show O. \nManoel Vieira is a jazz and classical composer and pianist.

Her original pieces set lyrics by modern Yiddish poets Kadya Molodowsky\, Esther Shumiatcher and Itsik Manger\, as well as the eighteenth-century poetess Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Her music draws on influences from classical\, folk\, popular\, and cantorial styles\, and has been performed by numerous ensembles in the Montreal area\, including Ensemble ArtChoral\, Les Rugissants\, La Chorale Harmonia\, and the Ottawa Choral Society. \nIn addition to composing\, Rona has performed with an array of ensembles in the Montreal area as a vocalist\, harpsichordist\, vocal coach and music director.

According to given guidelines\, we will each create a setting of the same short poem\, and share our results. We will also read through our individual poems together and begin to conceive our compositions. \nSession 2 – January 18th \nWe will spend the first part of the session doing improv activities together. We will also do a round robin in pairs to get feedback and inspiration for our individual compositions. Afterwards we will present our compositions in their latest incarnations\, and finish with a group discussion. \n  \nThis event is presented as a part of the Montreal Jewish Arts Collaborative (MJAC) granting initiative\, made possible through the support of the Averbach Family Foundation\, CANVAS\, and the Azrieli Foundation.

SUMMARY:Windows to the Soul: A Painted Glass Workshop
DESCRIPTION:What do we see in ourselves and our histories when we hold them up to the light?  \nIn 1962\, celebrated Jewish painter Marc Chagall’s 12 Tribe Windows were installed in the Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem\, each arched stained-glass window was painted by Chagall to represent one of Jacob’s 12 sons and what their respective tribe symbolizes. \nIn this FREE workshop with Merav Epstein\, we’ll be emulating Chagall’s process to make mini tribe windows to represent ourselves or our loved ones. This workshop will start with a short presentation on Chagall’s practice as a painter and how he moved into stained glass\, as well as a quick history on stained glass within Judaism and in Montreal. Participants will then brainstorm and sketch out ideas for what their own “tribe” window will look like\, what aspects they wish to represent\, before diving in on painting their own window (6″ x 8″). \nNo prior painting or stained glass experience is required. All materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring along any objects of importance to them that they may want to depict in their window. Come solo or with friends or family. All identities and cultures are welcome to join! \nAdmission is free but capacity is limited\, so early registration is strongly recommended. Click here to reserve your spot.  \nMerav Epstein is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal. She received a BFA in Film Animation from Concordia University in 2021\, and has work experience in animation as a Production Coordinator at DNEG Animation Studio\, and has animated multiple freelance music videos for artists in Canada and the United States. While her work experience is more animation-based\, Merav’s artistic practice centres upon stained glass and fibre arts (knitting\, crochet\, and needle felting)\, and their occasional intersection and interaction with animation. Merav’s professional background in the fast-paced and technological environments of animation have drawn her closer to the slowness\, intentionality\, and materiality required of fibre arts and stained glass as mediums. She is currently a recipient of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program. \nAccessibility: Please note that the upper floors of our building are currently not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This workshop will take place on the second floor. \nThis event is a part of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s 2026 Microgrant Program for Creative or Cultural Exploration\, made possible with support by the Azrieli Foundation\, the Betty Averbach Foundation\, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation\, and CANVAS.
