Klezmer Jam | Strings to the Front Klezmer Jam

Klezmer Jam | Strings to the Front Klezmer Jam


February 24, 2025

7 - 9 pm at The Couth Buzzard

Guest Facilitator: Mae Kessler

Strings to the front! Brass to the back! This klezmer jam will focus on strings and other quiet instruments. Other louder instruments are welcome, but they must take a back seat, playing sparsely and quietly. Violinist, Mae Kessler, will be our guest facilitator.

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
