In the first three weeks of Newton’s Parlor Performances, we have connected with hundreds of people watching talent from pop to folk to American classics. This series offers viewers a chance to experience a wide variety of genres from local talent.
On Wednesday, Feb. 17, Yoni Battat will join us as the fourth performance in this series. Battat is a multi-instrumentalist (viola, violin, oud), vocalist, and composer, specializing in contemporary and traditional Jewish music from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. A resident of Newton, he is a classically trained violist, with a bachelor’s from Brandeis University and master’s from Boston University. He has appeared with several orchestras and chamber ensembles, such as the New Haven Symphony, Boston Philharmonic, Juventas Ensemble, ALEA III and VSNY.
