Klezmer Archive Project 2022 Community Meeting
Sunday, June 12, 2pm eastern
Join the Klezmer Archive Project team on Zoom for our 2022 Community Meeting! The project team has learned a lot in the last year and we’re excited to share our progress. We’d like to hear from you too! How would you use the Klezmer archive as a musician? As a researcher? As a teacher? As a student? We want to build a resource that serves the klezmer and Yiddish music community, while also creating a resource that will be an authoritative repository for further research and study.
We will reflect on our preparatory work in the beginning of the grant period and the vision of the archive as we see it today. We’ll talk about some of the technical challenges we’re considering, but also the philosophical aspects of the project design — from User Experience research to what we’ve come to call “fuzzy” tune and genre boundaries. And we want to hear from you too! There will be time for you to ask questions and share thoughts. While we likely won’t get to hear from everyone during this meeting, we’ll make ourselves available for further conversations with interested individuals. This will be a community resource, so we value your input right from the very beginning! We’re looking forward to meeting you!
You are invited to the Klezmer Archive Project 2022 Community Zoom meeting.
