KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH A ROCK-REGGAE CONCERT JANUARY 10 2013
Come to a Carleton University New Year’s concert featuring Israeli rock/folk/reggae stars Michael and Shimrit Greilsammer. They are backed up by Ottawa’s talented and versatile HML Trio. January 10th at 7:30 PM, Kailash Mital Theatre in Southam Hall: $5 at the door for students, $15 for the general public.
A violinist and singer-songwriter, Michael Greilsammer blends Irish, reggae and rock music. His first album, “Je me reveille” (“Waking Up”), was released by a major French label, and his second album is a collaboration with his wife, Shimrit, a vocalist. Greilsammer has been a supporting act for international artists including Macy Gray and Ziggy Marley. In 2009 his first single “Ishti Hayekara” (“My Beloved Wife”) reached the top of Israeli charts.
The Zelikovitz Centre is hosting Michael Greilsammer as a visiting artist this winter, courtesy of the Schusterman Visiting Artists Program. This program brings Israeli artists to North American colleges and universities for the purpose of offering audiences the opportunity to engage with contemporary Israeli culture.
