Back to the Roots
Efforts to revive Jewish music date back more than a century. Music scholars Benjamin Brinner (UC Berkeley), Judah Cohen (Indiana University) and Edwin Seroussi (The Hebrew University), will explore early attempts to restore Sephardic and Ashkenazi musical traditions. They will be joined by Martin Schwartz (UC Berkeley), whose record collection was seminal to the klezmer revival. Moderated by Francesco Spagnolo (The Magnes).
Co-sponsored by the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture. Presented in association with the Jewish Music Forum and the Judah L. Magnes Museum

Klezmer Buenos Aires
This brilliant duo presents a stellar blend of klezmer, Argentinean folk music, tango and jazz improvisation. Their stunning virtuosity on flutes, wooden flutes, bagpipe, duduk (wind instrument), clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano sax, harmonica, accordion, piano and percussion sounds more like an orchestra than a duet.
