Goodwin, H. (2024). Stardust: Cinematic Archives at the End of the World. University of Minnesota Press.

Goodwin worked with colleagues at UC Santa Barbara and UC Berkeley to co-organize a conference on the topic "Mediating Deep Time," addressing the ways media can expose us to and ask us to think through radically long-term perspectives even in a time of climate change, mass extinction, and the “Anthropocene.” The conference is being held this week on the UCSB campus.

In August 2022, Greenbaum was selected to be a featured performer on the final 50th Anniversary Gala Concert of the National Flute Associations’ Convention in Chicago where she performed a 20” set of klezmer including a world premier of her Yiddish March composed for the occasion. The audience in attendance was not shy as they joined Greenbaum in dancing in the aisles while she played, proving that her mission to return the historical presence of the flute as a klezmer instrument has largely has been accomplished.

The London-based Klezmer Education Symposium has selected Adrianne Greenbaum to be part of the core faculty for the first international online forum that will take place over two days focusing on varied and unique teaching methods for the folk genre.

Although Adrianne Greenbaum teaches flute and chamber ensembles, two of her recent klezmer compositions were featured in the international scene this past month. One, a Life Cycle suite called “Lebn” (Life) won a top position as a 2020 finalist, performed and aired on YouTube in the Brazilian Klezmer and Yiddish Festival (“Kleztival”) and her composition “Al Hanisim” was selected for a special radio program in Krakow, Poland. 

Was one of few North American klezmer musicians performing and giving workshops in The London International Klezmer Festival and the sole “distant” performer for her adopted home of Scotland for their Jewish Community (ScoJac) event.
