AN INVITATION!

To hear all the fascinating Jewish stories and songs would take more than 1001 nights – and days. Stories have the power to transform and inspire. With our voices we can create bonds and lasting memories between people while we transmit Jewish values and traditions. Gerard Edery and Peninnah Schram combine their vibrant talents to bring you an intimate connection with the Ashkenaze and the Sephardic oral tradition.

Gerard Edery, an internationally known singer, guitarist, composer, and recording artist, has been featured in major concert halls and festivals throughout the world. He has ten CD releases on the Sefarad Records label and two more on the way. Gerard brings a vibrant classically-trained baritone and the skills of a virtuoso guitarist to his original compositions and intricate arrangements. Widely regarded as one of the leading interpreters of Sephardic Song, he was honored with the Sephardic Musical Heritage Award as well as a Meet the Composer grant for his original songs.

Peninnah Schram, an internationally known storyteller, is known for her elegant and dynamic way of telling stories. She performs at many festivals/conferences and also teaches workshops. She is the author of seven books of Jewish folktales, including Jewish Stories One Generation Tells Another. In 1995, Peninnah was a recipient of the prestigious Covenant Award for Outstanding Jewish Educators and just received the 1999 National Storytelling Membership Association’s Circle of Excellence Award.

Gerard and Peninnah have been performing for twelve years to enthusiastic audiences at Jewish festivals, synagogues, JCCs, storytelling festivals and concert series throughout the U.S.
