festival logo
Come Celebrate the Rebirth of Klezmer Music in the Former Soviet Union at the 6th Annual KlezFest, Ukraine!

August 21-25, 2005

Musicians and non-musicians alike are invited to join several dozen extremely talented musicians from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Estonia as they explore the folk music of their ancestors.

  • Mini-forum discussions with KlezFest participants about music and life, particularly Jewish life, in the former Soviet Union.
  • An excursion to explore the Jewish sites of Kiev.
  • Optional excursions to other sites of Jewish interest in Ukraine.
  • Translators for non-Russian speakers.

Teachers include:

  • Founder and director of the ensemble Budowitz Joshua Horowitz (USA)

Cantors' 3rd Rozhinke Retreat, Catskills, NY, Aug 21-24

the Rozhinke Retreat
Reclaiming the Cantorial Art for the 21st Century
AUGUST 21-24, 2005

Kutshers Country Club, New York

Now in its third year, the "Rozhinke Retreat" is an effort to preserve and continue the great Cantorial art tradition of yesteryear. At the turn of the Millenium, we have seen many Jewish cultural revivals: Yiddish, Klezmer... and Hazzanut is due a revival of its own. This retreat has its roots in the great Cantorial stylings of such renowned Hazzanim as Yossele Rosenblatt, David Kousevitsky, Zavel Kwartin and many others—with an emphasis not on historical examination, but rather living reproduction of an art form which is so intrinsically Jewish, and so passionate, so filled with pathos and sweetness, that it can only be described as "Rozhinke"—the sweet sound of raisins and almonds.

  • Faculty to include world-class Cantors
  • Workshops with "hands-on" singing
  • Nightly Cantorial Concerts
  • Late Night Sharing Sessions

the Rozhinke Retreat
Reclaiming the Cantorial Art for the 21st Century
AUGUST 21-24, 2005

Kutshers Country Club, New York

Now in its third year, the "Rozhinke Retreat" is an effort to preserve and continue the great Cantorial art tradition of yesteryear. At the turn of the Millenium, we have seen many Jewish cultural revivals: Yiddish, Klezmer... and Hazzanut is due a revival of its own. This retreat has its roots in the great Cantorial stylings of such renowned Hazzanim as Yossele Rosenblatt, David Kousevitsky, Zavel Kwartin and many others—with an emphasis not on historical examination, but rather living reproduction of an art form which is so intrinsically Jewish, and so passionate, so filled with pathos and sweetness, that it can only be described as "Rozhinke"—the sweet sound of raisins and almonds.
