The Strauss/Warschauer Duo continues the Monday evening Columbia Series with a special hands-on workshop for klezmer instrumentalists and Yiddish singers. Bring your instruments and voices. Listeners are also welcome.

Cantorial Modal Analysis and Improvisation for Klezmer Musicians and Yiddish Singers—A Hands-on Workshop Acclaimed Jewish music scholar Professor Mark Kligman (Hebrew Union College) will join the Strauss/Warschauer Duo in a hands-on workshop for instrumentalists and singers that will explore the relationship between Khazones (Eastern European Jewish cantorial music) and klezmer music. Participants will work vocally and/or at their instruments on cantorial modal improvisation both in its historical context and as a vehicle for their own improvisations. Listeners are welcome.

All events will be held at Deutsches Haus, 420 West 116th Street (between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Drive) in New York City at 8 PM, and are free and open to public. No tickets necessary. For more information please call (718) 399-1147 or email Agnieszka Legutko.

The next events in the series are on Mar 6, 2006, and Apr 3, 2006.

Deborah Strauss (violin, accordion, vocals) and Jeff Warschauer (guitar, mandolin, vocals) are two of the most astonishing and popular performers and teachers in the international klezmer and Yiddish music scene. They were both long-time members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and have performed with violinist Itzhak Perlman on film and in concert. As the Strauss/Warschauer Duo, they have performed to overwhelming acclaim in such diverse venues as the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Jewish Culture Festival in Cracow, the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater in New York City, and the Art of Yiddish in Los Angeles with Theodore Bikel. They lead workshops and classes throughout North America and Europe, are on the faculty of KlezKamp, KlezKanada and KlezFest at the University of London, and are curators of the Columbia University Series on Klezmer Music and Yiddish Song.

Mark Kligman, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Jewish Musicology at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York where he teaches in the School of Sacred Music. He was educated at the University of Michigan and New York University; he earned his doctorate at NYU in 1997. He specializes in the liturgical traditions of Middle Eastern Jewish communities. Dr. Kligman is a frequently requested speaker and teacher at universities and congregations throughout the United States. His research extends to historical trends in the liturgical music of Ashkenazic and Sephardic traditions. His work has been published in The Encyclopedia of Judaism (2000), Worship Music:A Concise Dictionary (2000), the American Jewish Yearbook 2001, Jews of Brooklyn (Brandeis University and University Press of New England, 2001), and The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa in Modern Times, which also includes a CD he compiled for the publication (Columbia University Press, 2003). In the spring of 2001, Dr. Kligman was Research Fellow & Visiting Professor at the Center for Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania. He lives with his family in Highland Park, NJ.

FILM: THE MAN FROM MUNKACS: GYPSY KLEZMER, by Yale Strom
Tuesday, February 7, 12:30 pm
Adler Journalism Building, Room E105

A Man From Munkacs: Gypsy Klezmer explores the symbiotic relationship between the Rom and Jews who lived together before and after World War Two in the Carpathian region. Before the Holocaust there, whenever there was a Jewish celebration (e.g., a wedding, Purim festivities, dance etc.), most of the time the klezmer musicians were not Jews but Rom. In fact, the Rom had played with and for Jews for so many years that some of them spoke a fluent Yiddish. The film examines how this persecuted group (the Rom) saved Jewish folk music until it could be returned to the Jews. We learn about Gyula Galombosi, a Rom virtuoso violinist who traveled throughout the Soviet Union playing classical, Rom, Russian and klezmer music until his death in1986. His hometown was Munkacs and in this hometown lived the Jakubowicz family. Ferenc (Feri) Jakubowicz was the first Jewish child born after the Holocaust in Munkacs, which was cause for great celebration - Jewish life was being renewed.

During Feri’s birth, Galombosi and his fellow musicians played klezmer music on the street below the apartment. Feri was told this story by his father years later, which caused him to be more curious about klezmer. Feri and Gyula became good friends. Feri, a pianist, learned many great klezmer tunes from Gyula. When Feri and his family immigrated to Budapest in 1979, Feri played music with a local opera company. In the film, Feri shares his initial ambivalence about publicly announcing his Jewishness and his love of klezmer to the gentile world. But in 1990, he formed the first klezmer band in Hungary since the 1920’s, “The Budapest Klezmer Band” and taught the tunes he had learned from Galombosi to the rest of his band, who were not Jewish. On camera, Feri gradually remembers a Munkatsher tune his uncle use to sing to him when he was a young boy. This tune, “The Munkatsher Nign” provides a musical motif throughout the film, as it is interpreted by various Rom and Jewish musicians. Through Feri and Galombosi’s stories, we will trace the rebirth of Jewish music in Hungary today.

The film is 58 min. long and was produced by Duna TV (Hungary) and Starcrest Films (Frankfurt, Germany).

We had to change the jam to Sunday Feb 12 since we figured many people would want to watch the Super Bowl, even though the Patriots are not playing. You may remember that last year, the Invisible I-95 Foxboro Shetl Marching Band provided a stirring rendition of the Bobover Wedding March during the half-time show. Numerous sportscasters noted the inspirational impact this had on the Patriots.

This year's Super Bowl mysteriously does not include the Patriots (instead it is the Shtolers vs. the Yamfalks), but it does feature the Rolling Stones, and it is rumored that the Detroit Auto-Klez Ensemble will open for the Stones.

At any rate, come play music 7-9 pm on Sunday Feb. 12, 2006 at the Workmen's Circle, at 1762 Beacon Street in Brookline, about 5 blocks west of Washington Square, which is about 12 blocks west of Coolidge Corner, right on the Green Line Beacon Street route.

We play from printed music, which we will have available in C and B-flat. All levels of players are welcome. There is a piano, though keyboard players are welcome to bring a portable keyboard in case more than one pianist shows up.

Een nieuw geluid van Di Fidl-Kapelye!
Project "Trumpets for Di Fidl-Kapelye"

Bekend om haar authentieke klezmer-sound is Di Fidl-Kapelye nu op weg naar nieuwe horizonten: blazende klezmer-experts componeren speciaal voor de snaren-kapelye nieuwe stukken.

5 beroemde klezmer-blazers hebben de afgelopen maanden gewerkt aan nieuw repertoire speciaal voor Di Fidl-Kapelye geschreven. Het project begon met drie trompettisten: Frank London (van o.a. de Klezmatics), Gijs Levelt (o.a. Amsterdam Klezmer Band) en Susan Watts (o.a. de Klezmer Brass Allstars). Inmiddels is het uitgegroeid tot een blazers-voor-strijkers-project, waarin ook klarinettist Yankl Falk (di Naye Kapelye) en saxofonist Job Chajes (Amsterdam Klezmer Band) componeren.

Première van het project: zo. 19 feb, Synagoge Enschede
CD verwacht : zomer 2006
Met ondersteuning van ThuisKopieFonds
