Workshop Instructor: Clara Byom
Klezmer in the Mid-Century - Although klezmer music had gone out of style from the 1950s through 1970s, several musicians continued to perform and create new klezmer music that reflected the shifting expressions of Jewish American identity. In this hands-on workshop, Clara Byom (Klezmer Institute) will teach one or two tunes that were written or frequently performed during the mid-century and explain what makes them uniquely interesting and different from the repertoire that preceded it and how it foreshadowed the development of the revitalization.
PLEASE NOTE: Hot water, tea, instant coffee and vegetarian snacks will be provided all day long on Sunday FEB 16th in The Gallery. Donations are appreciated!
