LIFE LECTURE: Klezmer & More! with Seth Kibel
Sunday, October 30, 2022 • 5 Cheshvan 5783
7:30 PM - 9:00 PMFanaroff Auditorium & LivestreamWoodwind wizard Seth Kibel, along with his piano accompanist, will entertain and delight with a program focused on upbeat klezmer music along with some detours into Yiddish folksong and theatre classics with historical commentary between the selections.
Klezmer, which literally means “tool of song” in Yiddish, is the secular folk music of the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. In the first decades of the 1900s, this music flourished not only in the Old World but also in the New. There, the sounds of the European “fiddler on the roof” mixed with the sounds of early jazz and Tin Pan Alley. The result was a quintessentially American sound.
SETH KIBEL is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier woodwind specialists, working with some of the best bands in klezmer, jazz, swing, and more. Wowing audiences on clarinet, saxophone, and flute, Seth has made a name for himself in the Washington/Baltimore region, and beyond. He is the featured performer with The Kleztet, Bay Jazz Project, Music Pilgrim Trio, The Natty Beaux, and more. He is the winner of 28 Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies), including “Best World Music Instrumentalist” (2003–11) and “Best Jazz Instrumentalist” (2005, 2007–8, 2011–14).
This event will be held in-person and on livestream.
