Lisa Gutkin will teach a klezmer tune along with methods to learn by ear, basic ornamentation, phrasing and accompaniment ideas. This is a participatory class for musicians of all levels, listeners, folks who know the music, and folks who are just curious. Audience members are welcome to participate with instruments, voice, clapping or foot tapping. Or to simply sit back and enjoy!

Klezmer Workshop with Lisa Gutkin

BOMBYX Center for Arts & Equity

Lisa Gutkin’s “solo” show is a whimsical wander through her musical styles, intertwining Irish, Jewish, American, and other sounds with improvisations and humorous touring stories. It features Lisa on fiddle, tenor guitar, and voice, with a star studded back up band: Christina Crowder on accordion and banjo, Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl and special guest Rachel Leader on violin.

Lisa Gutkin on Stage

The GRAMMY-winning Jewish klezmer superstars return to celebrate the Festival of Light, performing seasonal music from their acclaimed holiday album Happy Joyous Hanukkah that set lyrics by the late Woody Guthrie to their delightful original compositions.

Formed in the New York’s East Village in 1986, the Klezmatics led the resurgence of the nearly forgotten klezmer tradition and contemporized it with an irreverent dose of punk rock attitude, and since their inception, have been one of most visible faces of today’s Yiddish culture.
