Frank London – our great leader says:
‘My colleagues and I are working hard to prepare a great week - or two for you. The programme has, as always, some delightful surprises – as well as the usual basic necessities. I am delighted that Michael Alpert, Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer are joining me from the USA this year and we together with our brilliant British and European faculty members are looking forward to seeing you again and to meeting new friends. It’s great that you can study Yiddish language and culture together with music, song and dance - so go for it and stay two weeks!’
‘Wonderful music, exhilarating dance, lovely people, outpourings of the creative spirit, so many ideas, so many feelings, so much to take away with me….’
What better holiday could there be than playing Klezmer music, dancing and singing Jewish songs with some of the world’s most inspirational performer/teachers, led by award-winning klezmer revival pioneers. Click here for a full list of faculty for 2010.
