Minnush at Farfields Farm

Minnush is excited to bring their fun brand of modern Sephardic fusion to Farfields Farm!

Minnush plays living Sephardic music. They incorporate contemporary influences and give traditional songs new life featuring improvisation, storytelling and virtuosic musicianship by members Susan Gaeta, Gina Sobel, Trevor Pietsch and Kevin Johnson. The group had its beginnings in Ginas Virginia Folklife apprenticeship to Susan, who was apprenticed to the great Flory Jagoda over a decade before. It grew out of an urge to do what folk music has always done to naturally incorporate new influences and reflect the world around it. Minnush adds elements of American folk and jazz, while shedding light on the immigration and refugee stories that the songs carry. Minnush is serious, joyful, forward moving and eminently fresh.

This event is family friendly and BYOB. If you're coming from Charlottesville, we recommend carpooling - parking is somewhat limited, though the venue is fully accessible. There will be a dance floor (we love dancing!) but also plenty of seats.

Thank you thank you to Farfields Farm for hosting this concert and to the Virginia Folklife Program for all their support.

A portion of the proceeds will go to HIAS.
