"Viskonsin!: Tales of Yiddish Wisconsin", Madison, WI, 6 Nov 2016

Viskonsin!: Tales of Yiddish Wisconsin
A symposium honoring Louis Bernard Wolfenson and 100 years of Yiddish at UW-Madison

November 6, 2016
1:00pm - 4:00pm
Memorial Library, Room 126
728 State St., Madison, WI

Free and open to the public.

In 1916, the University of Wisconsin-Madison became the nation's-and possibly the world's-first institute of higher education to offer Yiddish language instruction when Professor Louis Bernard Wolfenson began teaching courses in the vernacular language of Ashkenazi Jews. With presentations by Henry Sapoznik, Mark Louden, Jonathan Pollack, Francie Saposnik and Sunny Yudkoff, the Viskonsin symposium celebrates this important centenary with reflections on the history of Yiddish at UW, the current state of Yiddish studies, and thoughts on the next 100 years.

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.

Since 1976, the Elias Ladino Ensemble has performed the songs of the Sephardic Jews in venues all over the world. Though Ladino is on the verge of extinction, in the hands of this ensemble the music remains as vibrant as the community once was. There is a "Ladino soundtrack" for every aspect of life. 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.

band photoMetropolitan Klezmer: Music from the Yiddish Cinema

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 klezmer workshop/jam, San Francisco, CA, 16 Nov 2016

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!
