Mar. 27, 8 pm in Old Cabell (sound check: 6 pm) Recording sessions in conjunction with Mead Endowment: in April, tba Description: Under the direction of Director of Music Performance and acclaimed clarinetist and ethnomusicologist Joel Rubin, the UVA Klezmer Ensemble focuses on the music of the klezmorim, the Jewish professional instrumentalists of Eastern Europe, as well as related eastern European traditions. The ensemble is made up of both undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, alumni, and other members of the greater Central Virginia community. The UVA Klezmer Ensemble is committed to ethnic, racial, cultural and religious diversity. Current and recent members have backgrounds from the US, Russia, Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Iran, and India, with religious backgrounds ranging from Jewish to Christian, Hindu and Muslim. It is dedicated to exploring klezmer and other Jewish musical traditions from the 18th century to the present. Now in its eighth year, the ensemble has rapidly become a vital part of the musical community of Central/Northern Virginia. Besides performing in Old Cabell Hall, recent appearances have included: the Tom Tom Founders Festival 2013, the Jewish Studies conference "Jewish Renaissance and Renaissances" at UVA, College of William & Mary and University of Richmond (at the annual conference of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Society for Ethnomusicology), Gravity Lounge, the 214 Community Arts Center (former Prism Coffeehouse), WeArts Festival (McGuffey Arts Center), New Bridges (Harrisonburg), 1 Congregation Beth Israel, Chabad of UVA, the Piedmont Council for the Arts' annual Spring for the Arts, the Charlottesville Festival of Cultures, and the Jewish Community Council (Lynchburg). Klezmer was brought to North America by immigrants around the turn of the last century. Since the 1970's, a dynamic revival of this tradition has been taking place in America and beyond. Klezmer's recent popularity has brought it far from its roots in medieval minstrelsy and Jewish ritual and into the sphere of mainstream culture. The Klezmer Ensemble at UVA performs at the end of each semester, often supplemented by performances at community events. Each year (and sometimes twice per year) the ensemble is coached by and plays together with a renowned guest artist. Recent guests have included: Cookie Segelstein and Joshua Horowitz (Veretski Pass, Budowitz); Frank London (Klezmatics); klezmer hip-hop artist Socalled (Abraham, Inc., Beyond the Pale, David Krakauer's Klezmer Madness!); innovative composer-clarinetist Michael Winograd (Yiddish Princess, Socalled, Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars, Daniel Kahn's Painted Bird, Shtreiml, Ayelet Rose Gottlieb); violinist- composer Steve Greenman (Khevrisa, Stempenyu's Dream, Joel Rubin Ensemble); Alicia Svigals, co-founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics, trumpeter Susan Watts (Mikveh, Klez Dispensers, Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars); trombonist Dan Blacksberg (Dan Kahn's Painted Bird, The Other Europeans, Michael Winograd Ensemble, Electric Simcha); the Kálmán Balogh/Ferenc Kovács Duo from Hungary (Other Europeans, Joel Rubin Ensemble); violinist David Chernyavsky (SF Symphony, Joel Rubin Ensemble); and tsimbl (hammered dulcimer player) Pete Rushefsky (Alicia Svigals, Steven Greenman, Joel Rubin Ensemble). Our guest artist this semester will be accordionist, pianist and composer, Alan Bern (Berlin; www.alanbern.net), of Brave Old World and The Other Europeans, with residency week from Mar. 22-27 and concert on Thurs. Mar. 27 at 8 pm. FOR AUDITIONS Admission by instructor permission. Audition is the first day of class in Spring 2014, Monday, January 13, 7:30-9:30pm, in 113 Old Cabell. In this ensemble, we begin focus on the klezmer traditions of North America, Eastern Europe and Israel from the 19th-21st centuries, as well as the music of related, non-Jewish traditions of Eastern Europe. This semester’s focus will be on the interaction between Jewish klezmorim and Romani lăutari (professional instrumentalists) in Moldova. These musics were largely passed on orally from generation to generation, and many of the ornaments which are so integral to the klezmer sound can only be approximated by Western staff notation – not to mention the patterns of improvised variation which are the cornerstone of the style. There will therefore be an emphasis on learning by ear as much as possible. Sheet music with basic melodies and harmonies for each piece will be provided. The following instruments are sought: violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba (and other low brass), percussion (drum set, xylophone), piano, and accordion, although others will also be considered. Restricted to instructor permission by audition. Please contact Dr. Rubin with any questions: [email protected] 2 Requirements: Please note that fulfilling the basic requirements of the course will not result in an automatic “A.” Attendance at all class meetings is required. Any absences should be explained (preferably in advance). Explanation does not necessarily mean that the absence has been excused, however. More than 3 unexcused absences will adversely affect your grade. In addition, students who miss class are responsible for learning the material missed before the next class meeting. Grades are calculated based on a combination of ablility, hard work (practice, improvement), and group particpation (including aspects such as showing intiative, contribution to the group and leadership skills). By mid-semester students will be offered an evaluation via e-mail of their work to date, including suggestions as to how they might improve their grade. Students are expected to make every effort to participate in performances, as their schedules permit. You are also strongly encouraged to repeat the course so that you as an individual and the ensemble as a whole continue to develop. For this purpose, the course can be repeated several times for credit (up to 8 college credits in performance). Students are strongly encouraged to bring a recording device to class to help with practice. All music is available on Collab, both in recorded and sheet music form. 3 .

    To Play Jewish Again: Roots, Counterculture, and the Klezmer Revival Claire Marissa Gogan Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History David P. Cline, Co-Chair Brett L. Shadle, Co-Chair Rachel B. Gross 4 May 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Identity, Klezmer, Jewish, 20th Century, Folk Revival Copyright 2016 by Claire M. Gogan To Play Jewish Again: Roots, Counterculture, and the Klezmer Revival Claire Gogan ABSTRACT Klezmer, a type of Eastern European Jewish secular music brought to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century, originally functioned as accompaniment to Jewish wedding ritual celebrations. In the late 1970s, a group of primarily Jewish musicians sought inspiration for a renewal of this early 20th century American klezmer by mining 78 rpm records for influence, and also by seeking out living klezmer musicians as mentors. Why did a group of Jewish musicians in the 1970s through 1990s want to connect with artists and recordings from the early 20th century in order to “revive” this music? What did the music “do” for them and how did it contribute to their senses of both individual and collective identity? How did these musicians perceive the relationship between klezmer, Jewish culture, and Jewish religion? Finally, how was the genesis for the klezmer revival related to the social and cultural climate of its time? I argue that Jewish folk musicians revived klezmer music in the 1970s as a manifestation of both an existential search for authenticity, carrying over from the 1960s counterculture, and a manifestation of a 1970s trend toward ethnic cultural revival.

  • Klezmerquerque 2014 February 14Th-16Th, 2014
    KlezmerQuerque 2014 February 14th-16th, 2014 R2G Klezmer Trio: Dr. Joel Rubin (clarinet & ethnomusicologist- Charlottesville/Switzerland), Pete Rushefsky (Tsimbalom/Eastern European hammered dulcimer-NYC), & Steven Greenman (violin, vocals & award- winning composer-Cincinnati) R2G is a dynamic new trio formed by longtime stars of the klezmer revival, Joel Rubin (clarinet), Pete Rushefsky (tsimbal /hammered dulcimer), and Steve Greenman (violin). R2G performs original compositions and improvisations in addition to their own arrangements of the classic East European Jewish instrumental klezmer music and mystical hasidic nigunim (melodies of spiritual elevation). With its virtuosic style and sumptuous, richly ornamented sound, their music is at once a meditation on the Russian-Jewish musical legacy and an expansion of it into the present. The trio also experiments with extended structures, such as "concert form klezmer" suites that meld the traditional klezmer genres with Ottoman Turkish concepts of art music for listening. The concert form expands the expressive possibilities of klezmer music and provides a pathway for the musicians to create performances that develop more extended musical narratives. But the group can cut it up on the dance floor as well. "Inspiring, jaw-dropping and foot stomping," raved Beth Cohen, director of the annual KlezmerQuerque Festival. List to the trio: Beregovski Shers (trad.) Ahavas Oylom (Greenman) Bay di toyren fun beys-hamikdosh (trad.) Peshrev (Rushefsky) Tish Nign (trad.) Nign for Sabbath and Holidays Joe Rubin Joel Rubin has been one of the leading figures in the international klezmer movement as performer, scholar, author and educator for the past thirty years, earning accolades from sources as diverse as klezmer giants Dave Tarras and Max Epstein, international clarinet soloist Richard Stoltzman, avant garde composer John Zorn, and Nobel Prize Laureate and poet Roald Hoffmann.

  • Naftule Brandwein, Dave Tarras and the Shifting Aesthetics in the Contemporary Klezmer Landscape
    WHAT A JEW MEANS IN THIS TIME: Naftule Brandwein, Dave Tarras and the shifting aesthetics in the contemporary klezmer landscape Joel E. Rubin University of Virginia Clarinetists Naftule Brandwein (1884-1963) and Dave Tarras (1895-1989) were the two leading performers of Jewish instrumental klezmer music in New York during the first half of the 20th century. Due to their virtuosity, colorful personalities and substantial recorded legacy, it was the repertoire and style of these two musicians that served as the major influence on the American (and transnational) klezmer revival movement from its emergence in the mid-1970s at least until the mid-1990s.1 Naftule Brandwein playing a solo in a New York catering hall, ca. late 1930s. Photo courtesy of Dorothea Goldys-Bass 1 Dave Tarras playing a solo in a New York catering hall, ca. early 1940s. Photo courtesy of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, New York. Since that time, the influence of Brandwein and Tarras on contemporary klezmer has waned to some extent as a younger generation of klezmer musicians, many born in the 1970s and 1980s, has adopted new role models and the hegemony of the Brandwein-Tarras canon has been challenged.2 In particular, beginning in the early 1990s and continuing to the present, a parallel interest has developed among many contemporary klezmer musicians in the eastern European roots of the tradition. At the same time, a tendency towards innovation and a fusing of traditional klezmer music of various historical periods and regions with a variety of styles has emerged. These include jazz, rhythm and blues, funk, Hip-Hop and Balkan music.

  • Mcintire Department of Music Newsletter
    University of Virginia McIntire Department of Music Newsletter: 2015-16 Edition Letter from the Chair: A “Banner” Year of Music Synergies This year, for the first time in our nearly 100-year history, students and parents arriving for Family Weekend and Days on the Lawn saw "Music" proudly displayed above the steps of Old Cabell. The banners set the tone for a year in which we celebrated the incredible diversity and quality of our department. We created mash-up, synergistic programming blending various areas of our research. We promoted our scholars, composers, performers and technologists as superstars using a new website and publicity engine. We launched a brand new Performance Concentration for Majors. And we actively engaged in a dialog about the place of Music in the 21st Century University. We challenged ourselves to ask "What is Music?" through a Flash Seminar, and to think globally about the impact of our work. All of these efforts have contributed to a really fantastic year. I invite you to visit the new website and explore the vision. The website features a significant redesign with powerful new tools such as an Audio Lounge, a Music Life Blog, and a dynamic front page that evokes different roles of music in the University. The first slide (also the cover image of this newsletter) is accompanied by the caption, "Music: a place to gather”, and it shows hundreds of students gathered in front of Old Cabell Hall. We strive to make our Music Department a safe space for creative learning, free imagination, celebration of knowledge and good spirited gathering.
