Please join KlezCalifornia for a three-hour klezmer workshop in Sonoma County
Sunday, May 19, 2019, 2-5pm with Dan Cantrell

At a private home in Sebastopol (address sent when you rsvp)

Through playing and comparing sections of klezmer songs, folk dance music, and Romany tunes, we will explore commonalities in the beautiful musical tapestry woven across Europe and the Mediterranean.
The workshop is suitable for instrumentalists intermediate through professional on all acoustic instruments. Registration is $25 (sliding scale – whatever you can pay) in cash or check at the door. Listeners welcome; donation requested. Light snacks provided. Bring a recording device or a music stand if you want. Brass players should bring a mute.


Please RSVP to jams@klezcalifornia.org and include date/location of session, your name and instrument, and any questions.
