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😳

I decided to turn the script & slideshow of my presentation last year at Klezcadia into a blog post, even though it's not about my usual American #klezmer stuff.
actually, this is one of those situations where researching a musical group really made me fall out of love with them😲 from having the general idea that it was a dynamic klezmer-art-music fusion group to learning that it was a kinda dubious smoke and mirrors campaign with a whole lotta racism.🤨

saw a cool trove of digital documents today that were found in a box in an attic by klez-descendants this past winter & photographed -- including plenty of photos, short autobiography in Romanian and tons of music scores and newspaper clippings. it has since been donated to the LOC but the friend who photographed them called together a group of us who work with this kind of stuff to discuss what to do with it. seems like it'll become a website this winter 🤓

would love to get a good scan to put out there, but in the meantime here is the Romanian dances pub. listed in Börsenblatt für den deutschen Buchhandel, February 11 1928 issue, along with another Waltz by Moscovitz.
Moscovitz went on a tear of copyrighting Romanian klezmer dances in 1925 (this list corresponds to the scores in my blog post above). I had been confused why he was copyrighting them if they were never recorded, but now it makes sense that it was a music publication thing, or at least aspirationally.
one interesting thing in this trove of random scores is that these mystery Romanian #klezmer scores by Isidore Moscovitz show up again different drafts and even some published versions printed in Vienna in the 20s ("Dansul poporului Român" by I. Moscovitz, edited by B. Greif). 🤔

this kind of thing is really what I live for & I hope to make discoveries like this one day. to think that thousands of klezmer musicians immigrated to the US, lived and died over the course of the 20th century. there must be more out there whose old music scores are with descendants who don't understand their significance.

(the connection to my usual #klezmer research is that Joseph Cherniavsky, who features prominently, also had his era as a New York klezmer guy after this, before becoming a mainstream American music guy.)
