Event details: Moshe Frumin: Ancient Instruments
Description
Location : Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art - 2021 East 71st Street
This exhibition has its roots in a project conceived by the Haifa Museum in Israel in the late 1970s. Mr. Frumin was chosen by the museums Director to participate in a project to reproduce musical instruments from the ancient world. Frumin found his lifes work in that project. He was lured by the possibilities and over the ensuing thirty years has searched for examples of instruments in ancient sculpture, paintings, coinage, and biblical texts. In his workshop in Kiriat Bialik, Israel, Frumin has sculpted numerous instruments; from lyres to harps to drums and shofar. Frumins instruments are playable, hand-created, accurate recreations of instruments from biblical times that perhaps- when played, sound the way they might have sounded during the time of King David.
