THE BRATISLAVA EXPERIENCE - KLEZMER – HISTORY AND PRESENCE (APRIL 3, 2008)

This event was dedicated to the history and presence of klezmer music. We invited the best known klezmer band in central Europe to speak about this musical phenomenon.  It was a very lively, interesting evening and it happens rarely, that people after a show come to thank and say that they had enjoyed it. The well attended meeting had around 40 guests.

Members of Pressburger Klezmer Band spoke and Michael Szatmary moderated the discussion. Their web site: http://www.klezmer.sk/index.php?set_lang=en. Following their talk and debate the Band gave a short performance for some 20 minutes. People were singing along with them. It was a very traditional Jewish gathering.

We are very pleased to announce the publication of Max Kohn’s last book « Vitsn, mots d’esprit yiddish et inconscient ».
