Originally from New Zealand, she currently lives in Jerusalem, and has mined the musical heritage of many cultures. Her repertoire embraces traditional Celtic and British Isles songs, Jewish music from many communities, medieval and Renaissance songs, and contemporary material that also includes her own songs and poem-settings in various languages. For many years, Jill has appeared at the Jacob's Ladder Folk Festival, the national folk-music event in Israel, and the Abu Ghosh Vocal Festival, and has featured on several different programs on Israel National Radio, and radio shows in North America and Great Britain. While she usually sings solo, she has sung with many musicians in Israel and in Great Britain; in 2004, she began collaborations with various musicians in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Her tours in the United States of America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand have all been highly successful. In 1998 Jill sang Schubert lieder in a series of concerts in Israel, and has continued her classical music studies with Judi Axelrod, Neil Jenkins, Philip Griffin, Evelyn Tubb and Anthony Rooley of the Consort of Musicke, Poppy Holden and Margaret Peckham. Her study of early music has continued with participation in international workshops with members of The Dufay Collective, Vivien Ellis, Sirinu, Shira Kammen, members of the The Boston Camerata, Marcin Bornus-Szczycinski and Oswald Hebermehl. Having completed two years of Ladino study, Jill is now exploring the world of Sephardi romansas (old ballads), which she hopes to record in the future. She is already incorporating the completed editions in her concerts. An album of new love songs in Ladino -- on which Jill sings five tracks -- was released in Israel in 2002, to international acclaim. Di Ke No Es Tadre [Say It's Not Too Late] features poems by Matilda KoΘn-Sarano set to music by Avraham Reuveni. Jill was a founding member of the IFS, the national folk music association in Israel. She has been editor of its monthly publication, FolkNotes and continues to write for it. In 2002, she helped form Nevel: The Jerusalem Harp Network. _______________________________________________________________________ 01-Arrane Ben Drogh Hraghtalagh [03:33] 02-Gilie Beag O' [01:59] 03-O Can Ye Sew Cushions [02:40] 04-Suo-Gan [04:07] 05-Deirin De [04:03] 06-Sil Lwli Lwli [01:48] 07-Corsican Lullaby [03:06] 08-Toutouiq [03:13] 09-Arrane Ny Niee [02:22] 10-H- O' Abha-Inn [02:51] 11-Dors Mon Goeland [03:24] 12-Si Hei Lwli Mabi [02:20] 13-Aranne Saveenagh [03:30] 14-Hungan [01:49] 15-Lullaby in C [02:35] 16-Cadlee Ny Moidyn Moirrey [02:33] 17-Right by Your Side [03:26] ------- 49:19 min
