Bridges: Between Klezmer & New Jewish Music"
In response to the wishes of many participants in the Weimar workshops in 2000 and 2002, we've chosen a focus this year which is contemporary as well as historical. In addition to the musicians of Brave Old World, we're delighted to have Frank London and Sophie Solomon as teachers in 2003, both musicians internationally known for their innovative Jewish music projects (see biographies). The workshop is aimed at experienced players of klezmer or other Jewish music. In lectures, master classes and ensembles, we will investigate questions of style, repertoire and performance practise relating traditional klezmer music to contemporary Jewish music’s. Particular attention will be paid to improvisation and innovations in rhythm, harmony, melody and form.
This event may be of interest to musicians and enthusiasts who wish to explore the art and repertoire of classic East-European Hazzanut "from the inside".
Kutshers Country Club, New York
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.

One of the best Klezmer/yiddish culture camps in North America is the annual "KlezKanada", held each years in the spectacular Laurentian mountains north of Montreal. Organized, in part, by the folks in Brave Old World, the program is always spectacular.
Events include lectures, a mini film festival, and of course, intensive workshops in singing, klezmer music, theatre, and dance. The "Kidz for Klez" program is also great. This is the best summer camp in the world (in fact, the event is hosted at a Jewish summer camp). Register early to get the best bunks.
Although most events start on the 20th, today is the day to arrive, get oriented, and get in some preliminary jamming.

ANNOUNCING: The only West Coast and the world's only winter Yiddish intensive: the 4th annual "Art of Yiddish: Entering the Heart of a Culture Through Its Beat", Los Angeles, December 14 20, 2003. Learn Yiddish with the best Yiddish teachers in North America: Pesakh Fiszman, Anna Gonshor, Miriam Hoffman, Sheyndl Liberman, and Sheva Zucker. Develop a deeper understanding of the culture that created our beloved Klezmer music and humor, with world-renown klezmorim Jeff Warschauer and Deborah Strauss teaching song and dance workshops (bring along your own instruments too); ethnomusicologist Robert Cohen revealing the back stories to Yiddish music; and writer/actor Yakov Basner illuminating the comic side of Yiddish literature from Chelm to Moshe Nadir. Theodore Bikel joins us for our closing concert and farbrengen.
It's the perfect time to explore your roots through the vitality, soul, and wit of Yiddish culture. Produced in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies and the University of Judaism Department of Continuing Education. For more information and to request or download the brochure, please visit www.yiddishinstitute.org or e-mail Miriam@yiddishinstitute.org.
For most of its 33 years of existence the St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music has sponsored an annual Chanukah choral festival. This year we begin a new tradition in collaboration with the suburban University City Symphony Orchestra - a "Judas Maccabeus" sing-along. Taking place (this year) at United Hebrew Congregation on December 20th, the combined choirs of most of the city's Jewish congregations will collaborate with the Orchestra, directed by Dr. Leon Burke, III, with solos sung by members of the Circle. Audience members may purchase a score for $18 which serves as a ticket for this and all future years, and then may sing along with the on-bima choir.
In researching the program notes I've become further surprised at the story of Handel's writing such a Jewish oratorio. "Messiah" notwithstanding, the vast majority of Handel's oratorios are on subjects from Tanach - "Old Testament" to him - "Deborah," "Israel in Egypt," "Joseph and His Brethren," etc. And "Judas Maccabeus" goes even one step further by NOT being of O.T. provenance, and hence lacking even that relevance for Christians. Apparently there was a political metaphor - a recently suppressed revolution. But I prefer the apocryphal story that Handel was advised to compose for royalty and the aristocracy, but wanted to see seats filled in the theater, and so wrote for the Jews.
The 19th Annual Yiddish Folk Arts Program "KlezKamp" will be held from
December 23-29, 2003 at the Swan Lake Hotel in the heart of New York's Catskill
region. For information about the program, registration, and work/study options

Events include lectures, a mini film festival, and of course, intensive workshops in singing, klezmer music, theatre, and dance. The "Kidz for Klez" program is also great. This is the best summer camp in the world (in fact, the event is hosted at a Jewish summer camp). Register early to get the best bunks.
Although most events start on Wednesday, the 25th, musicians should arrive this morning with the first workshops scheduled for this afternoon. Today is the day to arrive, get oriented, and get in some preliminary jamming.

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.

Intermediate and advanced Yiddish speakers will be given more challenging texts and grammatical lessons and will get lots of opportunities to converse in this extraordinary language.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,
I'd like to let everyone know that Yiddish Summer Weimar is presenting our first ever "Winter Edition" from February 3-8, consisting of two Master Classes: the Yiddish Vocal Master Class, for both vocalists and accompanists, is being conducted by Yefim Chorny and Susanna Ghergus, and the Yiddish Instrumental Music Master Class is being conducted by Alan Bern and Christian Dawid. Both classes are intended to address the relative lack of professional-level coaching in our field, so they are restricted to professionals or very advanced students. To make sure we keep the focus at that level we're asking people to audition with recordings. Class size is limited to 17. For more information, please see www.yiddish-summer-weimar.de, click on the graphic that says Winter Edition, and please help us spread the word!
Thanks,
Alan Bern

Rimon:Master Classes in Judaic Studies with Galeet Dardashti
Performing Arab and Middle Eastern Music in Israel
Based on Galeet Dardashti's doctoral dissertation research in anthropology, these Master Classes chronicle the recent mainstreaming of Middle Eastern and Arab-influenced art music (musika etnit yisraelit) in the Israeli public sphere. Long-forgotten Iraqi septuagenarian musicians are only now asked to share their unique knowledge with receptive Israeli students and audiences; Palestinian and Jewish Israelis have formed a range of Middle Eastern and Arab-influenced bands; Israeli groups are performing interpretations of the music of Egyptian legends such as Oum Kalthoum and Farid El-Atrash for packed concert halls; and recently some of Israel's most noted secular rock singers have recorded their own renditions of Middle Eastern piyutim (Jewish praise songs). These developments over the past fifteen years represent an historical shift in Israeli cultural politics and indicate an openness to cultural diversity and a decline of the homogeneous Israeli national cultural identity that government policy had strongly encouraged since the State's inception. Through the music scene, Galeet examines this unique nationalist movement in Israel, examining how scholars can represent some of the complex cultural realities of this global era.

Workshop with Rona Kenan
Tuesday 8th July, 6pm to 8pm
(Followed by Jam until 9pm)
Singing-songwriting workshop with Israel's new female leading artist whose dark velvety voice, biting lyrics and striking presence have set the bar.
By the young age of 18, Rona Kenan was already heralded as a "discovery," with promising talent as a musician, singer and songwriter. Her first public appearance attracted much attention, when she performed two original songs for Eran Tzur's program and album, in memory of the poetess Yona Wollach. Since then, she has composed for and performed in numerous and varied projects.
In 2004, she released her long-anticipated debut album, "Breathing Down to Zero," produced by leading Israeli producer Izhar Ashdot, with 11 original tracks in both Hebrew and English. She has also written the music for a number of Israeli films and television series. In February 2007, Rona released her second album: "Through Foreign Eyes". The disk presents ten songs, all composed and written by her.

Der diesjährige Tanzworkshop (Englisch und Deutsch) ermöglicht eine Begegnung von bereits bekanntem jiddischen Tanzrepertoire (freylekhs, sher, hora, etc.) mit einem besonderen Repertoire von jiddischem und transsilvanischem Roma-Tanz und -Musik, die uns Bob Cohen (USA/Ungarn) und seine Naye Kapelye mitbringen werden. Die Tanzmeister Florin Kordoban (Rumänien) und Sue Foy (Ungarn) werden uns dieses Repertoire vorstellen, wie immer begleitet von live-Musik. Darüber hinaus sind wir sehr froh, erneut die großartigen jiddischen Tanzmeister Michael Alpert (USA), Andreas Schmitges (Deutschland) und Zev Feldman (USA/Israel) begrüßen zu können, die uns u.a. von der ersten internationalen Tanzkonferenz in New York berichten werden.

Sunday, August 10
2:00 pm
The Workmen's Circle

Yiddishkayt is proud to participate in the annual commemoration of of Soviet Yiddish Writers. Fifty-six years ago, on August 12, 1952, the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin executed fourteen prominent Yiddish writers and Jewish communal officials in an attempt to wipe out Jewish culture.
This year, we recognize Soviet Jewish composer S. Polonski, who contributed several well-known songs to the Yiddish repertoire. The Mit Gezang Yiddish Chorus of the Workmen's Circle will delve deeper into Polonski's musical legacy, performing the entirety of his songbook written for Yiddish-speaking schoolchildren in the Soviet Union, published in 1931. This unique program will be in Yiddish and English.

This ten-member high-energy Middle Eastern ensemble features Arab and Jewish musicians in concert together to make a powerful statement for peace through shared music.

They blend virtuoso cantorial vocals with the lightning percussion and hypnotic melodies of a Middle-Eastern orchestra into their own unique contemporary sound. The resulting musical collaboration is infectious, joyous, deep, sweet and passionate.

The next All Star New York Yiddish Sing-along will take place on Tuesday, October 12, at 7:30pm at Congregation Rodeph Sholom, 7 West 83rd Street.
This will be the third such event in recent years led by the inimitable artistic director of the National Yiddish Theater - Folksbiene Zalmen Mlotek. The large audiences that attended the earlier two Yiddish Sing-alongs found themselves in the warm embrace of a heymish community sharing songs that evoked memories of a vibrant Yiddish speaking world, and connections to its glorious culture. The high percentage of younger participants was yet another sign that Yiddish is very much alive and will be part of the New York experience for generations to come.
This year's line-up of singers includes some of our most popular performers of Jewish music - artists who travel the world, and perform in a wide range of musical genres: Cantor Bob Abelson, Phyllis Berk, Joanne Borts, Adrienne Cooper, Magda Fishman, Cantor Rebecca Garfein, Annette Ezekiel Kogan, Avram Mlotek, Avram Pengas, Daniella Rabbani, Basya Schechter, Di Shekhter Tekhter, Cantor Dan Singer, Zalmen Mlotek's Yiddish Singers, The Folksbiene Troupe, The Jewish People's Philharmonic Chorus/yidisher filharmonisher folks khor, under the musical direction of Binyumen Schaechter - and some special surprise performers
There will be a Klezmer band accompanying the concert - with some of our finest musicians, including Margot Leverett, Marty Confurius, Matt Temking and others.
Every song will be available in transliteration so that every audience member will be able to fully participate and fill the glorious sanctuary of Congregation Rodeph Sholem with the sounds of Mame-loshn. Our emcee will be that debonair Yiddishist from Avantura - Corey Breier.
The concert is presented by Golden Land Concerts & Connections, with support from the National Yiddish Theater - Folksbiene, The Workmen's Circle/ Arbeter-Ring, League for Yiddish/Afn Shvel, Yugntruf, Congregation Rodeph Sholom, Congress for Jewish Culture, Yiddish Artists & Friends/ Actors Club/Yiddish Theatrical Alliance.
General admission tickets are $20 if purchased in advance, and $22 on the day of the concert. VIP reserved seating, with a post concert wine reception sponsored by City Winery, will be $50 if purchased in advance, and $60 on the day of the concert. Group rates - 15 or more tickets - 20% discount if purchased in advance.

Meandros Ensemble
3pm Concert, 2pm workshop/masterclass, free with admission
Sixth Street Synagogue: 325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd Ave)
The Maeandros Ensemble, led by oud player and vocalist Mavrothi Kontanis, combines lively traditional and innovative sounds from Greece and the Near East in high energy, emotional performances. Featuring a talented line-up of musicians, including Lefteris Bournias on clarinet, Megan Gould on violin, and Timothy Quigley on percussion, each concert highlights the group’s deep love and respect for the folk and urban songs of the early 20th Century Aegean, while simultaneously pushing the musical limits of that tradition with virtuosic improvisations and the ensemble’s own original compositions.
Maeandros has performed concerts and led educational seminars at prestigious venues and institutions throughout the US. Maeandros will be presenting an educational workshop at 6th Street Sundays for those interested in learning more about the music and culture of the Aegean Sea region, including background on the instruments, rhythms, musical modes and history behind this beautiful and unique musical tradition.
At 2pm Maeandros will present a workshop structured for people who have some familiarity with music, although anyone with an interest in Greek music is welcome. Our presentation will include a performance of a few songs, explanations of the historical and geographical context of the music, and a brief description of the instruments. We will include some audience participation with rhythms and singing, and for those with more advanced musical knowledge, we will briefly discuss the structure of the makams (musical modes), and ornamentation. The workshop will conclude with a brief question and answer period.
Cover $15 (includes a free drink).

Dave Levitt learned the music business from his parents. They got him started at age eight in Hollywood, Florida. He went on to appear with his folks at every one of their performances. First it was drums and clarinet. Later it became alto sax before Dave finally settled with the trombone at age fourteen. As a teenager Dave attended the famous Laguardia H.S. of Music and Art in New York. While a student there, he was a cast member in the Elizabeth Swados production "Swing" which had a run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. After completing High School, Dave attended Manhattan School Of Music on a scholarship. As student at MSM, Levitt had the good fortune of appearing with many notable jazz musicians. They included Red Rodney, Al Grey, Clark Terry as well as many others. It was about this time that Dave started to arrange and record Klezmer music with his father. These recordings also included their distant cousin Howie Leess on alto saxophone. After finishing his education, Dave took his artistry on the road which included the U.S. as well as Europe. Two of his European tours were with the Epstein Brothers Klezmer Band. Dave was the youngest member of the group as the brothers were well into their 70's. The eldest brother Max Epstein was in his early 80's. It was about this time that Dave started his own company called Progressive Music. The business operated as a rehearsal/recording studio for thirteen years. The business has since shifted gears and Dave is now involved in publishing as well as operating as a record label. The initial release of the label is called "Marty Levitt's Greatest Hits". It's a series of recordings with two generations in the ensemble. (Marty and Dave Levitt).

The project explores haunting and virtuosic melodies from the traditional repertories of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as gems of the Medieval European classical repertory. The music is arranged and interpreted by musicians whose musical backgrounds include Classical, Jazz and World Music. Together they create the unique blend that is East of the River. Stern and Mor early music specialists and “recorder virtuosos”, according to the New York Times, have appeared as a duo with groups as varied as The New York Philharmonic and world music ensemble Pharaoh’s Daughter, in venues including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. In East of the River they collaborate with acclaimed composer/ accordionist Uri Sharlin, and Yo Yo Ma’s “Silk Road Ensemble” percussionist Shane Shanahan. The group has performed at venues as various as Bargemusic, Joe’s Pub, Zebulon, Le Poisson Rouge, and universities. Their first album “East of the River” was released in 2009.

Her first CD, "The Art of Klezmer Clarinet," a tribute to classic klezmer of the 20's and 30's, was released in 2001 on Traditional Crossroads (CD4296) to glowing reviews. Her “Klezmer Mountain Boys” band has delighted audiences around the world. Margot will play in a classic klezmer trio format with Patrick Farrell on accordion and Aaron Alexander on drums.

2 PM Workshop/Masterclass
A Capella Choral Blast featuring: Jewish People’s Philharmonic Chous, Cantigas Women’s Choir and NYU Madrigal Singers
The Jewish People’s Philharmonic Chorus (JPPC) is part of the modern Yiddish renaissance – more than thirty members strong, from teens to retirees. The JPPC has a century-spanning repertoire – exciting oratorios and operettas, labor anthems, folksongs, and popular tunes – all in Yiddish. Committed to strengthening Yiddish as a living language, the JPPC has commissioned and premiered new Yiddish choral works and shares the rich legacy of Yiddish song by performing year-round for old and young of all faiths at community centers, universities, K-12 schools, museums and places of worship throughout NYC's 4-state region. The JPPC has also performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, at Ground Zero and the West Point Military Academy, as well as at the North American Jewish Choral Festival.
Cantigas Women's Choir is under the artistic direction of Joan Isaacs Litman. The choir brings women of the community together to explore the rich tradition of women's singing and performs a broad spectrum of global music, both ancient and contemporary. The Cantigas Women's Choir advocates through song for those whose hearts need to be uplifted and whose voices need to be heard; the group has performed with the inmates of the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, New Jersey, and performs regularly in Hoboken.
NYU Madrigal Singers is a small, coed ensemble of 12-16 singers dedicated to the joy of a capella singing. Challenging repertoire includes music from Renaissance to Contemporary and all things in between. Directed by Nancy Ellen Shankman, the group is trained to perform without a conductor. In addition to participating in the fall and spring concerts at the university, the ensemble pursues its mission to bring music to the community by performing at local public and private schools, such as the George Jackson Academy, and hospitals and senior centers including the Hallmark Senior Residence in Battery Park City. Madrigal Singers also takes its program to organizations such as the Salmagundi Arts Club and others dedicated to supporting the arts. The ensemble is involved in the revitalization of the NYU Choral Alumni and sang last spring at the Memorial/Dedication of the plaque for Marian Konstan, in the choral suite at the Kimmel Center.
The New York University Madrigal Singers performed at the 29th Annual Conference of the International Society of Music Education held in Beijing, China in August of 2010. Last spring, the ensemble did a combined concert with the Yale University Madrigal singers, and just concluded a 9 concert tour with the NYU Jazz Choir at the United Arab Emirates University, The University at Sharjah and NYU Abu Dhabi during January of 2012.

Daily topics will include Eastern European Jewish modality, klezmer phrasing, articulation and ornamentation, Yiddish song repertoire and style, and Yiddish dance steps, gestures and movement.
Open to all instrumentalists, singers and dancers. All ages and backgrounds
welcome. No knowledge of Yiddish or previous experience necessary.

Smyrneïka and Rebetika Vocal Workshop
Asia Minor Urban Greek Music of the 20s, 30s, and 40s
"The Blues of Greece"
Sunday, Sep 15, 2013, 2-4pm
Jalopy Theatre and School of Music
315 Columbia Street
Brooklyn, New York
This workshop will teach students to sing the magnificent vocal repertoire of early 20th Century Asia Minor Greek artists with authenticity and ease. By learning how to carefully listen to excellent recordings and how to then access one's memory of these songs, and by learning simple tricks to make singing them effortless, students will easily learn to sing an involved repertoire with comfort, clarity, and control. Students will begin to master the art of singing intricate ornamentation, complex rhythms, and microtonal scales, in a process that is fluid and fun. Students will also learn tricks for seamlessly switching between vocal placements without detection, and for producing optimal tone. We will also learn how to phrase songs so as to provide for maximum depth of expression, artistry, and musicality.
The songs, which follow the complex system of microtonal scales known as makam in Turkish or dhromi (roads) in Greek, have simply gorgeous melodies, and are lush with embellishment. The 1920s -1930s texts leave no stone unturned, and deal with scorching love, unbearable pain, cocaine, hashish, and heroine, lesbianism, monkey serum fountain of youth injections, harem girls, Hawaiian guitar music, and anything else one may fancy.
Though the repertoire is challenging and instruction is detailed and specific, the workshop will be taught in a supportive, comfortable and relaxed setting, and is always fun. The workshop is open to everyone and no prior experience with the reperotire or language is necessary.
Admission: $30

This workshop will feature traditional songs and vocal techniques for authentic Yiddish singing. The workshop repertoire will include rare nineteenth century ballads and lyrical songs featuring the most beautiful of melodies and poignant of stories, taught in detail from original field recordings of master Old World singers.
The class will also focus on vocal techniques and ornamentation appropriate to the singing of traditional Yiddish song. Students will learn how to produce the delicate yet focused sound of traditional Yiddish singers, and will learn how to hear and reproduce the melismatic embellishments traditionally used to enhance the singing of this beautiful repertoire. Students will also learn how to sing with increased comfort, clarity, and control, and will learn how to sculpt vocal lines to effect maximum emotional expression.
A knowledge of spoken Yiddish is not necessary to take this workshop, and the program is open to singers of all levels.

Sowohl für Teilnehmer geeignet, die in Klezmer hineinschnuppern als auch für Teilnehmer, die ihre bestehenden Kenntnisse auffrischen möchten.
Wenn ihr teilnehmen möchtet, schickt mir bitte eine Mail.

This is a rare opportunity for Toronto musicians to experience the great artistry of these musicians, up close and interactive. Like their live performances, there’s no telling what direction they may take this workshop, but it will be exciting and inspiring.

Steve Weintraub is a specialist in contemporary and traditional Jewish dances. He travels regularly throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe to give workshops, including KlezKamp, KlezKanada, and the Jewish Festival in Krakow. Born on Governor’s Island and Bar Mitzvahed in the Bronx, Steven Lee Weintraub received his dance training in Manhattan with Alvin Ailey and Erick Hawkins, among others.
Dmitri Zisl Slepovitch (Zisl) is an ethnomusicologist, Yiddish and music educator, composer, clarinetist, pianist, singer, founder of Litvakus and Minsker Kapelye bands, Yiddish Language and Culture Instructor at The New School. Zisl has been continuously contributing to the National Yiddish Theatre – Folksbiene in various capacities, he has performed/ recorded with Michael Alpert, Paul Brody, Psoy Korolenko, Frank London, Yale Strom, Lev "Ljova" Zhurbin, and Inna Barmash, to name a few.
When he moved to the US in 2008, Slepovitch brought over his rich collection of Litvak/ Belarusian Jewish musical folklore, based on which he created a multimedia program Traveling the Yiddishland, presented by the NYT—Folksbiene. He scored and musically directed a number of different theater, TV and film productions; Taught internationally at seminars in Yiddish /klezmer music and Jewish studies, including BIMA at Brandeis University. Read autobiographical article by Dmitri Slepovitch in Jewish Forward.
For Weintraub, much of his career has been creating and performing Jewish dance; he has worked with choreographers Felix Fibich and Shula Kivel, and has performed the work of Fred Berk. He was a principal dancer and choreographer with the Israeli folkdance group Parparim and was assistant director of the annual Israeli Folk Dance Festival in NYC.
After a 20 year hiatus living in Atlanta and Chicago performing, choreographing and teaching, Steve is excited about having recently returned to the east coast to live and work.
Creating a Culture of Celebration
Since bible times Jews have celebrated with dance. In Eastern Europe, over hundreds of years, the style of music we call Klezmer evolved to serve the evolving way Jews danced and celebrated. Enfolded into these dances is the expression of a world of Jewish values: honour and respect, self-control, playfulness, love of community, balanced with individual expression, inclusiveness and virtuosity, humour, tenderness and great high spirits.
For Jews celebrating at a simcha, particularly a wedding, dancing is an important mitzvah (m’sameakh khusen v’kale). For this reason dancing is not only a pleasure, but fulfils your obligation as a guest to make the celebrants happy- it is a way of honouring the celebrants.
Steve will teach steps, figures and styles for many of the dances in the Klezmer repertoire: freylachs, bulgar, sher and zhok, to name a few. There will be a special focus on solo and couples improvisation. He will also tell you a lot about the history and evolution of Jewish dance.

KlezCalifornia is very pleased to launch a series of klezmer workshops and jams this Fall.
Sunday, September 25, 1:00-4:15pm.
Art House Gallery & Cultural Center,
2905 Shattuck Ave,
Berkeley, CA 94705
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!

Summertime Klezmer Course

Resident: £280 Non-Resident: £205 Code: 16/257
More info/reservations
The London Klezmer Quartet returns for a summertime course designed for instrumentalists (including keyboard players) from all musical backgrounds, classical, folk or jazz. Applicants must be of at least roughly grade 4 level (no formal qualifications needed), and an ability to read music helps, though it’s not essential. The LKQ’s coaching is all about interactive learning. They concentrate on repertoire and attention to melody, accompaniment and ornamentation, and if appropriate will also introduce dance elements to the course. Oral and aural learning methods will help those unfamiliar with it acquaint themselves to the style more quickly - though we hope for many return visitors! Putting music into its historical context is an important part of the course, as is the telling of stories of musicians past and present.

Klezmer Music Weekend
Fri Dec 1 – Sun Dec 3, 2017
Halsway Manor,
Halsway Lane, near Crowcombe,
Somerset, TA44BD, UK
Delve into the wonderful world of klezmer with members of the London Klezmer Quartet. Ilana Cravitz (violin), Susi Evans (clarinet and accordion) and Indra Buraczewska (double bass & vocals) will take you deep into freylekhs, bulgars, zhoks, khosidls and terkishers, looking at the modes, ornamentation and rhythms that characterise traditional Eastern European Jewish folk music. Play in a klezmer band, be part of the ever-growing Halsway Klezmer Kapelye (big band), and learn steps for the dances that the music traditionally accompanies. Reading music is not essential as we'll be working by ear quite a bit, but we will also look at interpreting written music. All instruments are welcome. For players of grade 4 and above or equivalent.
