Klezmer Music – Its Cultural Significance, Jewish Historical Connections and Performance

Dan Blacksberg writes: "Klezmer music was central to the life of many Ashkenazi Jews back in Europe and in our early days in America. I hope we can use the joy the music brings to fuel deeper and broader conversations of Jewish identity and place in today’s world. Klezmer’s history and how it exists today provides resources and insights for us all to use and enjoy. I am very honored to be able to bring this music and culture that I love to you all." He will give a presentation with PowerPoint and video, and some live demonstrations with his trombone!
