Photo provided by Ghazal Mizrahi Roslyn Heights native Ghazal Mizrahi will bring her personal journey of music, faith and cultural identity to the stage Nov. 21 with an original concert inspired by the people and experiences that have shaped her work since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel. Mizrahi, a 29-year-old Iranian Jewish vocalist and cultural storyteller, will perform “ The Year My Voice Became More Than My Own ” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Hunt & Fish Club, an intimate cabaret venue in Manhattan’s theater district. The 90-minute production will benefit StandWithUs, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization focused on Israel advocacy and education. The show combines live music, storytelling, prayer and visuals to explore grief, faith, resilience, hope and the power of music to bring people together. For Mizrahi, the production represents a turning point in her career and her understanding of what it means to be a performer. “The show is called ‘The Year My Voice Became More Than My Own,’ and it’s basically a journey through music about the stories of people I’ve met through my journey of being a musician that have changed me and inspired me and taught me that singing is not just for me but it’s a gift that I use to heal the world,” Mizrahi said. Following the Oct. 7 attacks, Mizrahi began using her voice to support families of victims, survivors, hostage families and communities affected by the violence. Her experiences performing in Israel, including four trips in the months following the attacks, helped inspire the new production. One particularly meaningful experience came when she was asked to sing for the mother of Ori Danino, who had been killed by Hamas.. Mizrahi said it was the first time she had performed in that type of setting, and the experience changed her perspective on music. “From that moment on, I realized that my voice can be a gift to heal others,” she said. That realization became the foundation for the concert’s title and message. The production will move between Hebrew and Persian music, Jewish prayers, contemporary songs and original material. Mizrahi said her performances are influenced by her Iranian and Jewish heritage, as well as her interest in music from different cultures. Born in the United States to an Iranian family, Mizrahi grew up surrounded by Persian music and began performing at a young age. She credits her grandmother, an accomplished singer who was unable to pursue music professionally while raising a family in Iran, with inspiring her musical journey. “She’s the reason I sing,” Mizrahi said. “I kind of took on the dream for both of us.” Mizrahi studied music and eventually found her niche in multicultural performances. She sings in eight languages and incorporates Jewish, Persian, soul and contemporary world music into her work. Although she grew up speaking Farsi and English and studied Hebrew, Mizrahi said her interest in languages and cultures has led her to explore music from around the world, even when she is not fluent in the language. Her connection to Roslyn also played an important role in shaping her identity as a performer. She said growing up in the community helped her embrace her Jewish roots and that the local Jewish community has welcomed her as a singer. The upcoming concert will also include a tribute to Omer Neutra, a Roslyn Heights native and Israeli-American soldier who was killed during the Oct. 7 attacks. Mizrahi said she plans to perform a song that was particularly meaningful to his family. Neutra’s story has become especially important to the local community, and Mizrahi said the performance will be one of the evening’s most emotional moments. Mizrahi hopes audiences leave the concert feeling inspired and connected, regardless of their backgrounds. “I believe music is one of the most powerful and healing tools in the world for change and to bring people together and to realize that we’re more similar than we are apart,” she said. She described the production as an inclusive experience for audiences of different ages and backgrounds, emphasizing that while the show draws heavily from her Persian and Jewish heritage, its message is universal. “I hope I leave people inspired,” she said. “I like to create a really healing and uplifting emotional experience for people through my shows.” Tickets are $118 for general admission and $180 for VIP admission, which includes priority seating and a VIP gift.
