DESCRIPTION:Hallé St Peter's welcomes the Klezmorim of Manchester for a t
 oetapping evening of freshly arranged music and traditional klezmer danc
 e. Join us at Hallé St Peter’s for an evening of (optional) participator
 y dance led by Judith Plowman and Adrian Dobson. Dance the night away to
  a selection of bulgars\, freylekhs\, horas\, and khosidls performed by 
 the Klezmorim of Manchester dance band. And then rest your feet for inte
 rludes featuring Klezmer Klassica's crossover repertoire. The Halle's Ch
 ris Emerson (viola/violin) joins both the dance band and Klezmer Klassic
 a for this klezmer evening in this striking Hallé venue in Ancoats. With
  pastries from Salford's famous Brackman's Bakery\, this is an opportuni
 ty to put your left and right foot into the world of klezmer\, the music
 al and dance cultures of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe\, as t
 hey might have been for weddings back in the day. Try out a dance or two
  from this inter-generational\, communal dance culture\, or simply sit b
 ack and listen to this rich crossover of musical tradition. There is als
 o the opportunity to have a dance lesson before the main event\, should 
 you wish to learn some dance steps.\n\nThe evening is jointly organised 
 by the Halle and Modalways\, a community-interest company led by the lea
 ders of The University of Manchester Klezmer Ensemble\, Richard Fay and 
 Daniel Mawson. Modalways delivers intercultural music concerts (e.g. Ami
 d the Mirk over the Irk\, Klezmer Klassica\, and Vessels of Song)\, danc
 es\, education\, and reminiscence events in order to promote better inte
 rcultural understanding\, give back to the local community\, and to prov
 ide work/experiences for musicians of all levels.\n\nLocal dance leaders
  Judith Plowman and Adrian Dobson lead the immersive klezmer dance exper
 ience to the beats of the Klezmorim of Manchester\, a collective of loca
 l klezmer aficionados (including alumni of the university's klezmer ense
 mble)\, joined for this evening by the Hallé's Chris Emerson who has wor
 ked with the klezmer students over the years to develop their performanc
 e skills and enhance their musicianship. Chris also performs with Klezme
 r Klassica\, a Modalways project exploring the Jewish musical inspiratio
 n from works by lesser-known composers like Joseph Achron\, to concert f
 avourites like Shostakovich\, as well more recent compositions by living
  klezmer composers across the pond and klezmer-inspired pieces by local 
 composers.\n\nThis event is supported by The University of Manchester Hu
 manities Strategic Civic Engagement Fund\, with refreshments provided by
  Brackmans Bakery in Salford.
