In June, we launched the first season of Secret Chord Concerts, a new series spotlighting top Jewish musicians worldwide today. Episode 5 features a performance by the Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist master of klezmer and bluegrass, Andy Statman, who is joined by Jim Whitney on bass and Larry Eagle on drums. Together the trio takes viewers on a spiritual musical journey of klezmer, bluegrass, jazz and more, the perfect finale to the first season of Secret Chord Concerts.

About the Series
Secret Chord Concerts is a free on-demand video series featuring 15-25 minute performances from celebrated Jewish musicians representing a broad range of styles, heritages, and histories and recorded live in front of intimate audiences in Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Season 1 episodes will air the first Wednesday of every month from June until October.
A cross-country partnership between the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History (The Weitzman) on historic Independence Mall in Philadelphia, and the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music (Lowell Milken Center) in Los Angeles, generated this new online offering. Both presenting organizations are committed to inspiring in people of all backgrounds a greater appreciation for the diversity of the American Jewish experience. This season’s episodes were filmed at The Weitzman, against the striking backdrop of Independence Hall, and in UCLA’s beautiful recording studio.
This program is produced and presented by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music in partnership with the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
