there's no announcement here, but people were discussing it on a listserv and it seemed worth mentioning. This collector, Martin Schwartz, was obsessed about the links between various forms of Ottoman music including what we today called klezmer, and built up a big collection of 78rpm records that now reside at UC Santa Barbara.

Dimanche 30 novembre - Léa Platini - chants yiddish
"Léa Platini, musicienne, clarinettiste et chanteuse, fondatrice du groupe Les Oreilles d’Aman les stagiaires aborderont un répertoire varié de chansons yiddish, allant du traditionnel au moderne en passant par les nigunim, des chants spirituels sans paroles.
Ces chants seront l’occasion de découvrir ou approfondir la langue yiddish et de s’imprégner de cette culture.
Elle ouvre son champ d’études en allant vers les musiques et danses grecques, roumaines, ainsi que le chant judéo-espagnol.
Actuellement, elle développe toujours davantage ses projets musicaux et pédagogiques, dirige le Marseyer Klezmer Klang (ensemble klezmer amateur de Marseille), chante au sein des Bilbilikas (aux côtés de Françoise Atlan), donne des conférences. Elle se produit avec son groupe Les Oreilles d’Aman, notamment en région PACA, et enseigne à Marseille et au-delà en donnant des stages, master-classes et formations dans divers établissements d’enseignement musical."

and an article (AFP) about Yiddish Summer Weimar #YSW

"A push to revitalise Yiddish and its cultural traditions has gained momentum in Germany, the very place where the Nazi regime's Holocaust sought to eradicate the Jewish communities who spoke it.
Thousands flocked to the city of Weimar for a recent festival that celebrated the linguistic tradition with workshops, cabaret performances and even heart-stopping circus acrobatics.
Musical offerings ranged from traditional klezmer performances on violin and accordion evoking the Central Europe of old to more modern shows, including psychedelic Yiddish rock."
enjoying this part 2 interview with Daniel Kahn on Radiant Others featuring some great deep discussions about the beauty and challenges of performing unashamedly leftist #Yiddish music and finding meaning in old songs. and some old gossip I didn't know about 😅Like I didn't know a disgruntled audience member literally tried pulling the plug on the debut of Dumai at a #klezmer festival😳
