Classical to Klezmer: a Wild Wind Weekend at Liverpool University Sunday 9 – Monday 10 March 2008
Dear Wind Players
JMI has pleasure in inviting you to join a Wind Weekend in Liverpool where we travel the journey from traditional to classical music.
E-mail JMI for registration form. Places will be limited, so do apply as soon as possible. (Players should be at least equivalent of grade 6 on their instruments)
We will be working on Adam Gorb’s Wind band pieces ‘Yiddish Dances’ and ‘ Eine Kleine Yiddishe Rag Musik’ and to do this we will have a real immersion in traditional Eastern European Jewish music and shake everyone up with the opportunity to actually learn and participate in Yiddish dances.
And to top it all, Frank London and his Klezmer Brass All Stars (of New York) will be flying in from their European tour to spend Monday afternoon teaching us a Klezmer piece by ear.
The culmination will be a fabulous concert in the beautiful Princes Road Synagogue where you will all perform.
The cost of all this will be only £30 full price, and for full time students, £17.50. I promise you it will be worth taking a day off work, if you have to take it, but such opportunities do not fall into our lap too often.
