In 2008 Rabbi Baruch Myers and cellist Jozef Lupták started to work song by song on “Chassidic Songs” and invited two other prominent musicians – violinist and viola player Milos Valent (ECM records, Solamente Naturali, Dowland Project and others) and accordionist Boris Lenko to join them. So began a musical adventure which has since graced stages from intimate spaces to stages at the Pohoda and Konvergencie Festivals.

The adventure soon translated into the several very communicative and successful concerts and the superb recording with the same name. This project is a new musical revival of Chassidic Songs from the region in which they originated.. These musicians and artists are trying to recreate the original songs in the same manner with new artistic vision and spirit.

Rabbi Baruch Myers – piano, voice
