About
The Klezmer Music Ensemble is a performance course in UCLA's Herb Alpert School of Music. Students learn mostly by ear, listening to and imitating recordings from Golden Age klezmer before World War II through the 1970s revival and later experimental work, and they also play Yiddish theatre songs and niggunim, the wordless melodies of Eastern European Jewish tradition. The class pairs the music with study of key ideas in Jewish culture and history.
