Join us for the next concert in our ongoing Secret Chord Concert series with RAZA led by Chana Raskin.

ABOUT RAZA

RAZA is a musical listening project that explores the feminine voice in old Hasidic melodies. Meaning “secret” or “hidden” in Aramaic, RAZA is an attempt to listen more deeply to sacred, traditional melodies, to ask a question of them, and open up to hear them whisper something new into the world. RAZA explores both the notes and the wisdom surrounding these rich, complex, and uplifting melodies, as passed down for centuries. Led by Chana Raskin and a core group of harmony singers, RAZA’s debut album, KAPELYA, features a choir of 22 women’s voices from diverse backgrounds and a small band of virtuosic instrumentalists.

About the Secret Chord Concerts series

Secret Chord Concerts are full length musical presentations by the most celebrated Jewish musicians of our time – representing a broad range of styles, heritages, and histories. The concerts are recorded in front of a live audience at the Weitzman Museum in Philadelphia and later released as 15-25 minute episodes available free online.

A project of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, located on Philadelphia’s historic Independence Mall,Secret Chord Concerts recognize the vast diversity of America’s Jewish community as well as the numerous contributions they  have made to musical traditions, throughout history and today. Programs celebrating the histories, cultures, traditions and lives of Jewish People aim to act as an antidote to the current rise in antisemitism.
