Klezmer Jam

Klezmer Jam


July 14, 2025

7 - 9 pm at The Couth Buzzard
2nd & 4th Mondays
Some special sessions maybe be held at other locations.

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 a new tune or by having a short workshop session. While we have sheet music in many clefs and keys, we encourage learning by ear. Jam sessions are often led by Jimmy Austin with a slight instrumental focus or Maia Brown with a slight vocal focus. (All sessions will have both instrumental and vocal-centric tunes.) Many sessions have special themes or guest facilitators.

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.
  • Food available for purchase at The Couth Buzzard.
  • Pricing info: There is no entry fee, however, donations are strongly encouraged and are crucial to keep programming going. Suggested donation: $10-20.
