Trampled Manuscripts: The Lost Klezmer Music of the An-ski Expeditions concert with the Bivolița (Bee-vo-lee-tsa) Chamber Klezmer Trio from Hamden, CT connects today’s klezmer musicians to a treasure trove of newly-available Ukrainian jewish music from 100 years ago. Led by Klezmer Institute’s Executive Director Christina Crowder, this special concert will premier selections from newly-available tunes being digitized through Klezmer Institute’s 2020 international community-driven digital humanities project the Kiselgof-Makonovetsky Digital Manuscript Project. The program will introduce you to some of the wonderful characters we encounter in these tattered pages. We will tell their stories through the music they wrote down for themselves, and then passed on to the high-falutin’ strangers from St. Petersburg who came to their shtetl one day in the summer of 2013. This concert has been made possible with support from Temple Beth-El and the Puffin Foundation.
