Description

How do you bring people in and get them invested in Ashkenazic Expressive Culture? The Klezmer Institute has a few ideas! In this episode I sit down with Klezmer Institute leaders Christina Crowder (her 2nd appearance on the Podcast!) and Clara Byom. They share stories about how this community fueled organization began, where they are now, and where they hope to take their work. We hear about pioneering digital strategies for making Yiddish culture come alive, and how they are doing it through collective translation and transcription work. I really like how they are engaging people across the world, giving them a place to gather on social media and elsewhere, and letting them have a voice in the whole process of the Institute’s work. It’s a wonderful bottom-up way of organizing and the results so far have been great.

Today’s music comes from tunes that people in the community have surfaced during the Kiselgof-Makonovetsky Digitization Project, where volunteers across the whole Yiddish world have transcribed and digitized hundreds and hundreds of songs to be a public resource. It’s an amazing project.

Tracks include:

The Klez We Can Orchestra plays KMDMP material (Hannah’s Skotshne)

Jutta Bogen – Motl Reyder’s Romans 

Jutta Bogen & Christian Dawid – Motl Reyder’s Ange K977

Susi Evans & Szilvia Csaranko – KMDMP 02-37-965 “Bolgar”
