RE: London International Jewish Music Festival

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

May I announce that booking is now open for the London Festival.  The details 
of over 80
events, concerts, conferences, illustrated talks, guided walks, exhibitions, 
workshops
are now up on the JMI website and can be searched by artist and venue, and soon 
also by
genre and date.

The opening concert at Sadler's Wells features the renowned Swiss Klezmer 
ensemble Kol
Simcha (Voice of Joy). It is a fitting way to open the Jewish Music Festival 
that
promotes dialogue and understanding between cultures and that for the following 
five
weeks, brings to London, Jewish music and culture from Switzerland, the 
Americas,
Russia, Lithuania, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Israel, France and Britain, by some 
of the
world's finest performers and interpreters of klezmer, folk, jazz, liturgical 
and
classical Jewish music.  The Festival will be officially opened by Lord Brittan 
of
Spennithorne.

There is Klezmer from Argentina, Switzerland Europe and North America as you 
will see.

Best wishes
