About
The Klezmer Music Ensemble is dedicated to learning and performing traditional East European Jewish folk music. This vibrant genre of world music combines a distinctive performance style, a unique repertoire, and close chamber-music interaction.
In addition to preparing for one concert each semester, students are introduced to key concepts in Jewish culture and history to provide context for the music they perform.
Director: Mr. Steven Greenman, lecturer, violin
