Shufuni, a band of young Israeli musicians from Otef Aza, or the Gaza envelope, will visit the Gordon Center for Performing Arts on Thursday, Feb. 1, from 7-9 p.m. to share personal stories and experiences through music and song. The musicians are all victims and witnesses of the Oct. 7th massacre.

This event will include a short concert and panel discussion. The Gordon Center is located at 3506 Gwynnbrook Avenue in Owings Mills.

Shufuni was established in 2022 to promote young artists coming from Sderot and the Gaza envelope area. Current members include folk singer/songwriter Daniel Waiss, soul-folk singer Linor Ein Gedi, guitarist, drummer and music educator Rotem Meir Levi, and performer Mira Semandoyev, who recently appeared in the finals of the Israeli “American Idol” show, “Hakochav Haba.”

Presentation of the Shufuni /Look At Me program is made possible by the מתחברים | Mit-habrim | CONNECTIONS funding initiative, a partnership between the Israeli Government’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism, JCC Association of North America.
