PHILADELPHIA, February 28, 2008 - Philly’s insider blog, uwishunu.com, is sponsoring the city’s first Radical Jewish Music Festival, spanning four days March 1-4, and including five different concerts. An initiative of the Ars Nova Workshop 2008 Concert Series, the festival features two performances by celebrated composer and saxophonist John Zorn, a major player in the experimental music scene since the 1970s. The series will also present concerts by renowned guitarist Jon Madof, Israeli-born singer Ayelet Rose Gottlieb and local trombonist Dan Blacksberg.
