MUSIC in Bayt B’racha - DANCE in the Sanctuary
MUSIC with Veretski Pass Duo: KLEZMER CHICKEN SOUP - It’s not just the chicken and seasonings; it’s how you cook it! It’s not just the melodies, the ornaments, the variations that make a klezmer tune sound “right”, it’s how you put them all together. We will explore slow, medium and fast melodies, and examine the ways to make them sound Jewish, placing the ornaments, the variations and the rhythmic treatments in just the right way. This class is also appropriate for vegans and vegetarians!
DANCE with Bruce Bierman and Gilberto Melendez: Tastes and flavors from the broad banquet of Sephardic, Ethiopian, Mizrahi, Yemenite & Israeli dances known as Rikudei’am ריקודי עם (Dances of the people).
