This immersive storytelling production follows Shterna on an epic hero\u2019s journey, accompanied by live original klezmer music and an exquisite papercut crankie.<\/p>\n<p>The Magid Ensemble (\u201cmagid\u201d meaning \u201cstoryteller\u201d in Yiddish) is a multidisciplinary group creating new work that integrates folk art, traditional oral storytelling and original klezmer music. The Ensemble consists of award-winning musicians and composers Mattias Kaufmann, Raffi Boden, and Rachel Leader, storyteller Weaver, and visual artist Kiah Raymond.<\/p>\n<p>This original story, developed through rigorous research on Eastern-European Jewish folklore, is illustrated with a backlit \u201ccrankie\u201d, a long scroll wound onto two spools that illustrates the story as it unwinds. The work incorporates shadow puppetry and is inspired with motifs from Jewish papercut art. The newly composed score accentuates moments of mystery and beauty, and brings the audience wholly into the world of the tale. Shterna and the Lost Voice is a highly engaging hour-long storytelling performance suitable for audiences of all ages!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"trailer\">\n<h2>Concert Trailer<\/h2>\n<p><iframe class=\"iframes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gyuA6HdGj7M\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"details\">\n<h3>Event Details<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> Friday, February 28, 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 6:30 PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Boston University<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"details\">\n<h2>Register for the Concert<\/h2>\n\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- ================================================= MAJOR SPONSORS STARTS ===================================== --><\/p>\n<section class=\"msponsor-container\">\n<h2>Sponsors<\/h2>\n<div class=\"msponsor-grid\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #ffefe6;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kruppfamilyfoundation.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-11.png\" alt=\"Krupp Family Foundation\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #ffefe6;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/jewishstudies\/opportunities\/jewish-cultural-endowment\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-15.png\" alt=\"Jewish Cultural Endowment at Boston University\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #ffefe6;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/humanities\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-16.png\" alt=\"Boston University Center for the Humanities\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #d3ded9;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rpl.hds.harvard.edu\/programs\/religion-conflict-peace\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-14.png\" alt=\"Religion, Conflict and Peace Initiative\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #d3ded9;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cfd\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-13.png\" alt=\"Center on Forced Displacement\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #b3f4ff;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/diversity\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-19.png\" alt=\"BU Diversity and Inclusion\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #b3f4ff;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"-\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-26.png\" alt=\"GRALTA Foundation\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #dedfed;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wellesley.edu\/academics\/program\/jewish-studies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/01\/Instagram-Contents-25.png\" alt=\"Wellesley Jewish Studies Program\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #dedfed;\" class=\"msponsor-card\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/criticaltheoryofreligion.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img src=\"\/cura\/files\/2025\/02\/Instagram-Contents-27.png\" alt=\"CFCR\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; About Magid Ensemble \u201cExtraordinary, Suspenseful, Mesmerizing\u201d \u2013 Shterna and the Lost Voice transports audiences into the rich world of Yiddish folklore.
