Sorry to be a mild hater about this UK organisation that 1) means well and 2) seems to be less closed to klezmer than they used to be but honestly this post feels AI generated. I don't know why they would, maybe it's not, but it's bad enough when original writing has that flavour. Why not give context to the famous melody (ma yofus) and how it's interesting that it became so ubiquitous, rather than the bland description.They also misspelled Leibowitz but I can let that go...#klezmer

tickets have gone on sale for the event I've been working on preparing for a year, the Vancouver Peretz Centre's 80th anniversary banquet on May 23rd. I've been helping bring to life co-director Itamar's idea of a shtetl wedding themed gala, along with award-winning writer Jess Goldman and music arrangements by methere are limited low cost tickets that will probably go fast if price is an issue.https://www.peretz-centre.org/event-details-registration/peretzs-80th-anniversary-a-wedding-between-peretz-and-the-past-present-and-future#klezmer #Yiddish #SecularJewishCulture #shtetl #anniversary #Vancouver

so far across 3 platforms the only real suggestion I've got is Uri Schreter who I do know online but had forgotten about today for some reason. great guy who had me in tears with his Mickey Katz presentation years backhttps://www.queensu.ca/history/people/schreter-uri

@Nozika and the visuals are totally heinous nonsense. like you don't have to like the sexism of Haredi communities to see how nonsensical it is for the slop video to show blonde women in silk gowns circle dancing with Haredim in front of the Western wall or whatever. it's just nonsense the computer puked out

sadly I won't be going (don't trust ICE) but this festival in #Portland looks great.includes some good friends of mine like Chaia, Christina Crowder, Shpilkis, and some cool artists I hadn't heard of before.https://collections.humanitix.com/the-portland-jewish-music-festival-2026#PortlandOR #Klezmer #Yiddish #JewishMusic #MusicFestival
