November 6, 2016, 4pm.
University of VA, Charlottesville
Old Cabell Hall
Charlottesville, VA
The Yellow Ticket is a live multimedia concert event featuring the eponymous 1918 Pola Negri silent film with a performance of an original score by Alicia Svigals, one of the world's foremost klezmer fiddlers. The score is the newest commission from the Foundation's New Jewish Culture Network (NJCN) and marks the first feature-length film composition by Svigals who will perform live with virtuoso pianist Marilyn Lerner at each of the screenings of this cinema classic. Set in Poland and Tsarist Russia, the film portrays a woman's struggle to overcome adversity in a story of secret identifies, heroic measures, and triumphant love.

the Nu Haven Kapelye CD release party
Nov 10, 2016
Whitney Cultural Commons
1253 Whitney Ave.
Hamden, CT
Some of the thirteen tracks on this album feature the fabulous Seltzer Sisters singing duo, some are purely instrumental. Some tracks feature the entire 30 or so musicians in the Kapelye and others feature the Spies of the Balkans, the Kapelye's all-star smaller group. Some of the songs are Klezmer, some more big band swing, and others are in a category that we don't even have a name for. Every track is an original interpretation, and all of the music here was arranged by me (David Chevan) or by one of the other members of the group.

Many of the songs date back to ancient Spain while some reveal melodies and rhythms of the Balkan and Middle Eastern communities where Sephardic groups lived in exile.

Monday, November 14 at 6 PM - 8 PM
Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center
111 Amsterdam Ave,
New York, New York 10023
FREE, but requires ticket
www.nypl.org
One of the Metropolitan Klezmer’s specialties is the richly varied music found in vintage Yiddish film soundtracks. Join us for an evening of original klezmer arrangements performed live by the full octet, interpolated with scenes both from celebrated movie classics and lesser-known cinematic gems onscreen: Hasidic chant and sewing song from The Dybbuk; tenement wedding dance from Uncle Moses; melodies performed for newsreels made by Moscow’s State Yiddish Theater; Second Avenue swing, haunting love songs, and a little-known folkloric grandma’s dance, as heard in the Polish films of Molly Picon. A panoply of footage excerpts will be shared onscreen, interspersed with the band's exhilarating live musical interpretations of music found & inspired by vintage celluloid versions: Archival clips alternating with our live ensemble's re-takes on an astonishing array of movie music.
This multi-media concert event is offered free to the public -- first come, first served; so we recommend arriving early for a seat.

KlezCalifornia is very pleased to launch a series of klezmer workshops and jams this Fall.
Sunday, Nov 16, 1:30-4:15pm.
Congregation B'nai Emunah
3595 Taraval St,
San Francisco, CA 94116
Each event will have two sessions The first session will be a 90-minute klezmer instrumental workshop for musicians with little or no klezmer experience but who are proficient on their instruments. It will be taught by an experienced klezmer musician and teacher, and will include playing tunes with charts, getting familiar with klezmer techniques, and learning some tunes by ear at a slow pace.
After a short break, there will be a 90 minute klezmer jam session for those with at least intermediate familiarity with playing klezmer and/or jamming. After the leader begins the session with a warm up tune or two, musicians will take turns "calling" a tune, with everyone learning new tunes by ear or enjoying playing/improvising on familiar ones.The leader will provide guidance for pace, transitions, and ensure an overall smoothly run and fun evening!
Come for both sessions or just one. Refreshments provided. Donation of $10-$20 requested. Reservations not necessary but greatly appreciated, please email jams[at]klezcalifornia.org and indicate what instrument you play and which event and which session(s) you plan to attend. We will also add you to a special mailing list through which you will receive more information, including who will teach/lead each event.
Over the next year, we will try out several models of workshops and jams.Your feedback is critical so let us know your preferences!
Fall is seriously upon us and music is a wonderful way to lighten up our days and evenings. At our November 16th klezmer jam, we will again play through all the tunes which Klez Chaos will be performing in December. Everyone is welcome at 9705 1st Ave. NW, Seattle, 7:30 on, with a potluck snack and soup break around 9.
