Neranenah, a word that means “to come together and sing,” is the rebranded name for the Atlanta Jewish Music Festival. Neranenah will kick off its 2025 season Sunday at Studio Theatre at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center with a live performance of jazz music with ties to Milt Gabler, the founder of Commodore Records.
The independent label, founded in 1938 in mid-Manhattan, made its mark on music history by recording Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit” and other songs by jazz legends such as Lester Young, Sidney Bechet, Coleman Hawkins and Eddie Condon.
