This overview of the Klezmer genre will explore the meaning of the melodies, the classic Klezmer repertoire of weddings, simchas, after-the-wedding, and much more. The class will feature live music. You’ll learn the answers to some of those burning questions such as: How did Jews dance before Hava Nagila? Or, who was the "baden?" And what is a real Hora?! And you thought you knew . . . Musicians and non-musicians are welcome. If you can actually play any Klezmer, bring your instrument. You won’t actually play, but it should look nice!
