Root yourself in the Layers of Your Heritage

In every program, we help students reflect and learn to see themselves more clearly. Interwoven with music lessons, our check-in questions and assignments give students new ways to understand themselves as people of culture.

Your ethnicity and your other visible identity markers reflect just a few layers of your heritage. The land you’re raised on, the communities that raise you, and the cultures you are drawn to study or absorb are also vital parts of you.

“We’re not just playing music, we’re actually learning and changing how people think about things, changing how the world works.”

“I developed my ability to think critically about race, to talk openly and vulnerably with my peers, and to examine my whiteness and privilege and how they play out in my own music appreciation and career.”

“I am so grateful for the opportunity for Ari to have an outlet artistically and inlet culturally, the flow of it is something that I couldn’t do myself.”

Tana

Ari’s mom

“[the program] gives you tools to learn about your own heritage and also about . . . the American experience through music. But also not just music-centered, [they] encouraged that you look into food, dance, and other elements of culture, encouraged to talk to elders and learn about where your family came from.”

“It is a community where you can go and play music, learn music, and take part in a supportive and nurturing community and be welcomed whatever that part might look like, it’s always there for you.”

    Unbroken Circle 5:00 - 6:30

    Klezmer Jam to follow.

    At King Street Station
    303 S Jackson Street
    2nd Floor

    Join Maia Brown in reckoning with the Purim story this year, learn Yiddish tunes for the festival, 20th Century Yiddish poetry invoking Purim as a metaphor for their times, and Contemporary Gazan poetry of resistance in Yiddish translation. There is an unbroken circle when we mark the many ways we have insisted on joy, no matter what, and our ability to imagine the world otherwise, upside down from what hurts us now. Be prepared for a high likelihood of homentashn!

    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.
