"Klezmer Workshop with Jeff Warschauer."  

The Klezmer Workshop will offer musicians who have at least an intermediate

will become familiar with the forms and melodies that comprise the broad 
klezmer repertoire. On occasion, the course will feature a guest instructor 
from the forefront of the NYC klezmer scene. Although no previous knowledge

playing this music will benefit from further instruction and the opportunity 
to develop their ensemble skills.

Band, Jeff is also a composer whose music has been heard in films and theater 
productions, and on Public Radio International and HBO. A graduate of the New 
England Conservatory of Music, Jeff's solo CD, The Singing Waltz: Klezmer

acclaim.
