KlezmerQuerque 2025 presents hands-on workshops: Klezmer music with Zisl Slepovitch

  • Nahalat Shalom 3606 Rio Grande Boulevard Northwest Albuquerque, NM, 87107 United States (map)

Yiddish songs with nign (niggun - wordless tunes)-refrains. The subgenre of the Yiddish song that brings instrumentalists and singers on the same territory — when words aren’t enough. But what and how does the nign (niggun)-refrain really express and how to perform it. Be prepared to sing and, if you play an instrument, to play as well as sing. 

Learning materials (handouts – song / melody charts with suggested chord symbols) will be provided by the instructor. 

Prerequisites: Helpful but NOT required to take this workshop are sight-reading skills, Yiddish comprehension, vocal and instrumental abilities.
