Deuxième week end à l'Entrepôt du FESTIVAL KLEZMER KAOS !

Friday, Dec 7, 2012, 21:00h
L'entrepôt - Musique
7/9, rue Francis de Pressenssé,
75014 Paris

Cette fois-ci les festivités commencent avec les MENTSH, un duo fidèle à la tradition de voyage et de fête, qui fait revivre cette musique de l’âme et la réinterprète avec fougue, énergie, malice et liberté. Le public est transporté dans un univers inversé et farfelu. Les émotions se mélangent entre euphorie et recueillement.

En deuxième partie de soirée, l'Entrepôt accueille FINZI MOSAIQUE ENSEMBLE, une nouvelle formation issue de la scène tsigano-orientale parisienne, qui interprète des musiques issues des balkans. Un spectacle ou se mêle danse, chant et musique. L’orchestre, formé par des musiciens d’origines cosmopolites (France, Roumanie, Turquie, Espagne), donne une nouvelle vie à ces répertoires traditionnels.

Helsinki Klezmer Festival, the festival of traditional instrumental music of the Yiddish-speaking people is organized for the third time already in Finland. Savoy Theatre as its venue, the event aims to make klezmer music better known in general and to give people a possibility to get to know one of the Europe�s most interesting cultural traditions. Klezmer music has its roots in the medieval Europe, where the Jewish people of the Eastern Europe traveled from town to town in order to play in weddings and other events. By the end of the 18th century klezmer music had become a well-developed music style, gathering influences from the Jewish culture and from outside of it.

Nowadays klezmer music is played almost all around the world, but mostly in the United States and in Europe. Klezmer music is constantly evolving and mixing with other music styles such as jazz and pop music. In order for the style to survive it is still important that there are also bands trying to find out the origins of klezmer music and ways to maintain it as authentic as possible. The authenticity of the music will not bring back the culturally rich community that once lived in the Eastern Europe but will give the listeners a possibility to get a bit closer look at the life of the society that lived at that time.

Sat 25 October 2003 at 7 p.m.
David Krakauer �Klezmer Madness!� (United States)

Virtuoso clarinet player David Krakauer from New York is one of the most influential names in the new Klezmer music scene, blending contemporary jazz into his music.

The concerts will be performed at the Savoy Theatre (Kasarmikatu 46-48). In addition to concerts the program of Helsinki Klezmer Festival will include evening clubs that are held at Kunsthalle Helsinki (Nervanderinkatu 3) right after the music performances.

Freilach mit Kneidlach will be the house band in the evening clubs.

The first international klezmer event in Moscow will take place February 17th-20th.

The idea of this event came from the Jewish ensemble "Dona" (Moscow) and their producer Anatoly Pinsky, so the seminar has also become known as "Dona-Fest". The festival will bring together more then 60 musicians from the former USSA and Europe. The gala concert of the First International Festival of Jewish music in Moscow will consist of completely new material which will be prepared during the 3 days of seminar. It will take place at the Jewish Theatre Shalom.

The leading teachers of the event are Merlin Shepherd (world known klezmer musician, who has developed a unique method of teaching klezmer instrumentalists by ear) and Polina Shepherd (leading Jewish choir composer in the former USSR who bases her vocal teaching on instrumental ornamentation and Jewish modes).

Amongst the organisers and teachers there will be representatives of the "old" Yiddish tradition (Arkady Gendler, Ukraine) and of the newest generation of Russian and ex-Russian klezmorim (Mark Kovnatsky, Germany; Alina Ivakh, Kazan; Alexey Rozov, Evgenya Slavina, Moscow).

Now in Moscow ­ Celebration of Yiddishkeit!

Steve Weintraub will be giving a dance workshop from 4-5:30, and leading dance after the concert.

We're also treating this as the unofficial release party for HOPKELE, my collaboration with Kapelye- 8 great cuts all with perfect tempo, form and length for dancing. Its available now on CD Baby, and coming to iTunes and other download services. Notes to the dances will be available at the Kapelye web site, and also (Thanks, Helen!) at Helen Winkler's website.

Hope to see and dance with some of you this weekend!

Moshe Berlin posted dates for this year's Tzfat Klezmer Festival, held annually in Israel. Since the organization that arranges the festival tends to be short on web savvy, this (and the entries that will go on the KlezmerShack calendar) may be as much information as you can get without actually being in Israel.

“KLEZMERQUERQUE” Albuquerque New Mexico’s annual Klezmer music and dance festival celebrates its seventh year February 12-15, 2009 (Presidents Day weekend).
On Saturday morning, February 14th from 9:30am-11:00am the Strauss Warschauer Duo will lead “SHABBOS, MUSIC AND YIDDISH”, a hands-on workshop of Hassidic Niggunim (melodies) and Yiddish Sabbath songs for singers and instrumentalists. No previous experience necessary. All ages, levels and backgrounds welcome. Brin Ingber will teach dances from the Eastern European Jewish wedding repertoire including Rebbe Elimelech tanz and Kayzad merakdim. Classes cost $20-general and $16 for seniors, students and fixed income. From noon-2pm there will be a catered lunch. After the catered luncheon Brin Ingber will present "Why Jews Aren't Just People of the Book" with rare and historic dance illustrations and music for Jewish dance in far flung communities through the ages. Following her powerpoint presentation there will be time for questions. The price for the ‘Lunch ‘n Presentation’ is an $8-$15 suggested donation.

On Saturday afternoon from 2:15pm-3:45pm the Duo will lead “MAKING YOUR INSTRUMENT SING IN YIDDISH”, a hands-on workshop for everyone. Again, all are welcome. Price for this class is $20-general admission and $16 for seniors, students and fixed income.

On Saturday evening at 7pm Brin Ingber will perform two dances. “The Argument” gives a modern twist to the classic story of Abraham about to sacrifice his son Isaac. The dance will be accompanied by the chanting of Brin Ingber’s sister Rabbi Deborah Brin, who is also the Rabbi of Congregation Nahalat Shalom. “Roles Not Taken” a dance combining music theatre, ballet and Israeli folk dance presents a surprising view on issues of Jewish identity. The evening culminates with a concert by the Strauss/Warschauer Duo, “Dem Fideles Neshome” (The Fiddle’s Soul) and a dance party. Brin Ingber will also lead dances that she taught in her morning class. Price for this event is $18-in advance and $20-general, $18-seniors and students at the door.

The 20-piece intergenerational Nahalat Shalom Community Klezmer band will be celebrating the release of its first full length CD recorded and engineered by New Mexico’s own Manny Rettinger of Ubik sound and the sound engineer for UNM’s music department.

Kabbalah

Ars Caramelis Festival (Katowice ,Pologne) : 25 novembre 2009
NEW KLEZMER MUSIC and IT ROCK’S !!!

Kabbalah déboule comme une comète dans le paysage musical actuel et crée à l’évidence un son nouveau.

Au melting pot de la cité phocéenne, antique carrefour des langues et des cultures, Kabbalah abreuve sa musique d’autant de tradition que de modernité, d’autant d’Orient que d’Occident. Ces 5 virtuoses réunissent ainsi en un même univers, musique klezmer, hip-hop, chants hassidiques et spoken word.

"KLEZMERQUERQUE" Albuquerque New Mexico's annual Klezmer music and dance festival celebrates its 8th year from February 11-14, 2010 (Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon over Presidents Day weekend).

Nahalat Shalom, its Community Klezmer Band and Rikud Yiddish dance troupe present 'Living Yiddish at KlezmerQuerque' featuring the internationally celebrated Strauss/Warschauer Duo, Deborah Strauss (violin, accordion, voice, dance) and Jeff Warschauer (guitar, mandolin, voice). The duo, brought back for a second year by popular demand, perform original and traditional Yiddish instrumental and vocal pieces that span the spectrum from fiery to tender. Called "pied pipers of Yiddish music" and "pioneers in their generation," Deborah and Jeff are renowned as performers and teachers at festivals and workshops throughout the world and will bring a weekend of Klezmer / Yiddish music, dance, language and culture for everyone in New Mexico! Klezmer is the exciting traditional dance & instrumental music of the Eastern European Jewish people.
