Led by Alan Bern, Paul Brody, Martin Lillich and Cesar Lerner. This is a hands-on workshop in New Jewish Music and improvisation for intermediate-advanced musicians with experience in Yiddish music. We will explore several ways of extending traditional Yiddish vocal and instrumental music to make New Jewish Music, using different kinds of improvisation, expanded harmony and rhythm, and intensive work on musical communication. All instruments and vocalists are welcome!

Hailing from Berlin, Alan Bern (piano, accordion) is a composer, improviser, and a pioneer of New Jewish Music, as well as the director of Brave Old World and Yiddish Summer Weimar. Berliner Paul Brody is a composer and trumpeter who has worked with a wide range of artists from Blixa Bargeld to Barry White to John Zorn. An accordionist/pianist from Buenos Aires, Cesar Lerner co- founded the internationally renowned Klezmer en Buenos Aires in 1995. Martin Lillich, a Berlin-based bassist, first hit the stage playing bass in a blues/rock band in the 1970's and since then never stopped dazzling audiences with his low-end rhythms.
