"More than one thousand #klezmer #tunes, some dating back to the late #19thCentury, are being #performed and #recorded after sitting in a #library in #Kiev for years, thanks to the #nonprofit #KlezmerInstitute.

“This increases #European #klezmermusic by fourfold over what was accessible before,” Christina Crowder, the #NewHaven-based #accordion player who heads the institute, told me, adding that the collection ranges from virtuosic solo pieces to “workaday, regular old tunes.”

#Digitalphotos of hundreds of pages of #sheetmusic arrived on a memory stick at the #Yiddish #NewYork gathering in 2017, but the crowd-sourced effort to turn them into PDF files and share them on the web didn’t get going in earnest until late 2020. In the last couple of years, several #albums featuring the resurrected #klezmertunes have been recorded."

„Die Juden sind an allem Schuld“
Konzert von Klezpo

Veranstaltet von der Gesell­­schaft für christlich-jüdische Zusammen­­arbeit Göttingen e.V.

Sonntag, 19.11.2023, 17:00 Uhr
Reformierte Kirche
Untere Karspüle 11, Göttingen

Das Chanson "An allem sind die Juden schuld" von Friedrich Hollaender (1886–1976) aus dem Jahr 1931 steht als Motto über dem Konzert von KlezPO, dem Klezmer-Projekt-Orchester aus #Göttingen unter der Leitung von Wieland Ulrichs.

Es wird zum musika­lischen Auftakt der dies­jährigen Veranstaltungs­reihe in zwei Teilen zahl­reiche jiddische Lieder u.a. aus Musicals zu hören geben, die Vertonung eines Gedichts von Anne Frank, zwei Songs von Lotti Huber (1912–1998), etwas Sephardisches, ost­europäische Folklore und neben schwung­voller Klezmer-Musik natürlich den „Titel­song“.

Das Foto zeigt Friedrich Hollaender mit der Schauspielerin und Sängerin Blandine Ebinger.
