12.00-13.00 UK time (see below for local times)
A taster of material from a brand new book, 'The Music of the Mitsve Tants in the Courts of the Hasidic Rebbes', by Binyomin Ginzberg. Come along and play through some familiar and less well-known melodies.
In winter 2014 in New York, Ilana met with Binyomin Ginzberg to learn more about the music of the Mitsve Tants, a unique dance ritual performaed at the end of Hasidic wedding. He shared videos and introduced her to some of the repertoire he had collected during years of playing Jewish wddings. Now, Binyomin's research is available to all in his new book 'The Music of the Mitsve Tants in the Courts of the Hasidic Rebbes'. Some of the 158 tunes presented in this new collection are well-known to klezmer musicians, others are less familar.
