Announcing Klezmer Institute’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026

We’re delighted to share our strategic plan for 2023-2026. Many thanks to our board members who coached us through a process that has helped us further define our mission as an organization and set a course for the next three years.

From the plan:

Klezmer Institute exists as an organization in service to the community of practitioners, scholars, students, and organizations who are invested in Ashkenazic expressive culture and as a hub for year-round coordinated advocacy, projects, and programing in our subject areas. We are committed to developing and maintaining projects that advance knowledge, support creativity, and build community.

Our Vision

Klezmer Institute envisions a constantly expanding and interconnected community of researchers, performers, teachers, students, and heritage practitioners supported by authoritative resources and innovative projects.

Our Mission

Klezmer Institute is a digital-first organization that both preserves and cultivates Ashkenazic expressive culture through research, teaching, publishing, and programming.

Our Philosophy

Klezmer and Ashkenazic cultural community empowerment leads to creativity, growth and continuity. Commitment to high academic and creative standards contributes to a community of excellence among performers, researchers, educators, and practitioners.
