Klezmer in the Schools

In 2018, KlezKanada piloted a new educational program called Klezmer in the Schools, with our first collaboration being with Montreal’s Selwyn House school.

Led by KlezKanada faculty member Rachel Lemisch, this initiative brings a complete klezmer curriculum to schools around Montreal in which students learn the basics of playing klezmer and a curriculum of Yiddish culture and Jewish history over the course of several weeks. Klezmer in the Schools gives a chance to learn first-hand how klezmer music unites different cultures and creates a unique platform for dynamic and collaborative musical expression.
