Kedmah is an ensemble of musicians and prayer leaders excavating the power and beauty of Mizrahi Jewish expression through ancient poetry and song.
Co-led by R’ Yosef Goldman and Yoni Avi Battat, and supported by vocalists R’ Jessica Kate Meyer and Anat Halevy Hochberg, Kedmah honors the artists’ Iraqi, Syrian, and Yemenite ancestry in conversation with their intersecting musical influences. They will be joined by Fabio Pirozzolo on percussion, and James Heazelwood Dale on bass.
From Temple times to today, piyyutim utilize complex and beautiful poetry to infuse spirit and meaning into both sacred and ordinary moments of human experience. Kedmah honors and reinvents these living sacred traditions rendered with deep reverence for tradition and boldly adapted with an ear toward our modern musical world.
