Eve Ilsen is a therapist, teacher, storyteller and singer. Her work integrates spirituality with psychology, myth, body and artistic expression. In addition to her own teaching and performing, since 1987 she has co-led seminars and liturgical events all over the world with her husband, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
Dirk Dickson has been playing bass since 1970, and has played at Red Rocks and Temple Buell Theatre. In sum, he guesses he's played thousands of gigs with hundreds of people, and every one of those folks sounded unique. What a beautiful thing! Please check out his solo CDs on CDBaby.com.
Sheldon Sands (Musician, Music Director/Producer) a composer, keyboardist and producer, received his B.A. in Music from Naropa University. During an artistic residency in Israel, Sheldon composed music inspired by his Jewish roots and the history, landscape and unique convergence of cultures in the Middle East. These compositions became the highly acclaimed Dead Sea Strolls (Shalhevet Productions 2002), recorded with a group of distinguished Israeli and Palestinian musicians. Joining “Oy to the World” both as the producer fo the Center for Judaic Studies concert events and as music director/pianist, Sheldon is hoping to wear these two hats at once with no slippage!
