RE: KlezFest London 2002 and Ot Azoy - one week Yiddish course

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

Here is wishing you all a sweet New Year

And I am pleased to announce the two summer schools that JMI is presenting
this July at the University of London. KlezFest was great last year and by
popular demand is back again plus a special Yiddish language crash course.
We felt a new model should be tried for those that can only afford to spend
one week. The slogan is 'even your clarinet will sound better when you have
learned some Yiddish'. Also special to this course is that Zalmen Mlotek
will be there to work on Yiddish pronunciation and expression in song, and
create a Yiddish chorus, which will continue into KlezFest.  There is a
reduction for those that want to attend both courses.  See information
below.
