The Klezmatics Engagement Event - Culture Bearers October 19, 2009

Lorin Sklamberg, The Klezmatics
Miriam Isaacs, Associate Professor of Yiddish Language and Culture, Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies

How can artists take archival materials off the shelf and bring them to life? Through audio examples and discussion, our panelists will explore the challenges involved in bringing authentic ethnic music to a contemporary audience. This has broader importance than musical circles, for it is often through music that one touches one’s own and others’ cultures.

This performance is part of the Klezmatics Engagement Project.
This event is part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days.
