Melbourne Australia Jewish arts festival

[Ernie Gruner <erniegru...>]

Three Melbourne klezmer bands, Klezmania, Klezmeritis and Spiel Azoi, will
appear together on stage for the first time as part of the forthcoming
Kosher Culture festival. (publicity blurb below). I'll also be giving an
introductory klezmer workshop.

You may have heard rumors of a international klezmer festival in Melbourne ?
I was involved in a university based committee trying to organise an
international klezmer festival, but we struck some logistics problems and
have deferred the project.  cheers Ernie Gruner
