KlezKanada 2012

This is going to be a great year at KlezKanada

 

Join us in the Mountains for the 17th edition of the KlezKanada Laurentian Retreat, Canada’s largest annual festival of Jewish/Yiddish culture and the arts. Featuring: an all-star faculty, world-class concerts, workshops for instrumentalists, singers, dancers, and visual artists of all levels, films and lectures on Jewish history, literature, language and culture, children’s and teen programs that set the standard for learning and creativity.

 

New this year: KlezKanada is pleased to present our inaugural summer poetry program in the Laurentians:  the “KlezKanada Poetry Retreat (Three Millennia of Poetic  Subversion)”, North America’s first Jewish poetry intensive retreat. The poetry seminar will be led by Minister of Semiotic Turbulence, Canadian poet and professor Adeena Karasick, as well as Chief of the Discordant Talmudic Crisis, poet and performer Jake Marmer.

 

The Montreal Jewish Music Festival is the latest addition to Montreal’s already vibrant summer calendar and brings the best in traditional and contemporary Jewish music to the streets of Montreal. The events are primarily located in venues throughout the downtown core, and especially around St. Laurent Blvd. (Aka The Main), the street for over one hundred years the Montreal Jewish community thrived and where Montreal’s multicultural face shines. Come and discover top local, national and international artists performing a wide variety of Jewish music ranging from hip hop and rock to traditional klezmer and Sephardic music. Enjoy!
