Perhaps you should speak to Merlin Shepherd the clarinettist who teaches
Klezmer as part of the performance teaching programme in the music Dept of
the School of Oriental and African Studies of London University.  SOAS
Department of Music deals with musical cultures of the world.

original context?

Hello,
Thanks to all who responded to the question, "Does klezmer have a place in
academia?"  As I previously stated,  I am currently working on a project
which explores issues regarding klezmer music in academia and would like to
gather opinions of members of this list regarding some related issues.
Some of your responses have already touched on the next question which is
stated in the subject:

Does placing klezmer in the university remove it too far from its original
context?
