Klezmer Jam at Judkins Park!
6 - 8 pm at Judkins Park
Look for us at the shelter near to the playground with the bathrooms.
One of our klezmer jams each month will be at Judkins Park this summer. For these sessions, we'll have a special focus on protest music and street bands. We'll place Yiddish music into the larger context of protest music in an international context, with facilitators from a variety of musical traditions in addition to Yiddish music. In addition to singing and playing, we'll also discuss the context of the music and how we relate to it. There will be snacks!
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.
Snacks provided. You are welcome to bring food to share as well.
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.
