Film Screening of “Flory’s Flame” and Q&A with Susan Gaeta of Trio Sefardi
Wednesday, July 9 @ 10:30 am – 12:15 pm
A JCC Adult Outreach Program in Alexandria
Legendary Sephardic composer and musician Flory Jagoda delighted contemporary audiences with ancestral songs and lyrics that stretch back centuries. Born in Sarajevo to a musical family, Flory became the family’s only Holocaust survivor. She shared with the world the songs that were lovingly passed on to her before World War II, bringing to life a part of Sephardic Jewish culture that is seldom still heard. This film weaves Flory’s compelling personal story, warmly told by Flory and her family, with selections from her highly acclaimed concert at the Library of Congress in 2014. At the conclusion of the film, Flory’s mentee, Susan Gaeta, will entertain your questions.
Enjoy a special Sephardic treat in honor of Flory and her legacy!
Fee: $15 in advance; $18 at the door (includes light refreshments)
