Klezmer Jam | Peysakh Potluck

Klezmer Jam | Peysakh Potluck


April 14, 2025

7 - 9 pm at The Couth Buzzard

 

 Join Jimmy & Maia on the third night of Peysakh and the second day of the Omer, גְבוּרָה שֶׁבְּחֶֽסֶד, strength within loving-kindness. Using the Montréal Arbeter Ring Hagode oyf Yiddish printed in 1980 as a guide, we will sing and play through the structure of a Yiddish Socialist Seder while noshing on ritual foods and recipes from the amazing Couth Buzzard cafe.

 

Come join us for our twice-monthly night of musical Yiddishkayt! We’ll jam on klezmer tunes and sing Yiddish songs together. All ages, abilities, and instruments are welcome! In fact, you don't even need an instrument, only a voice, ears, or dancing feet. Instrumentalists less familiar with klezmer are encouraged to arrive at the start. We begin each session by either learning the tune-of-the-month or by having a short workshop session. While we have sheet music in many clefs and keys, we encourage learning by ear. To find tunes and other resources, visit the klezmer jam page on The Rhapsody Project’s website.

  • This session will lean toward instrumental tunes.
  • For all ages. 12 and under with an adult present. Singers, listeners, dancers, and instrumentalists all welcome. If bringing an instrument, a small amount of experience is recommended. Beginners to klezmer are welcome.
  • Jams are scheduled for the second and fourth Mondays of each month.
  • Pricing info: No entry fee, however, donations are strongly encouraged and are crucial to keep programming going. Suggested donation: $10 - 20
