This week there are several streaming events to consider. First, on Sunday at noon MT, there’s a celebration of “40 Years in Yiddishland,” marking the 40th anniversary of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and the Yiddish Book Center.
At this juncture, klezmer (the folk musical sounds of Eastern European Jews) has reintegrained itself into the American music scene and the Klezmer Conservatory Band has played a key role in that. Interestingly, there is a Denver connection here due to presence of the great clarinetist Don Byron in an early version of this Klezmer band. Later Byron would spend two years in Denver directing Metro State University’s Jazz and American Improvised Music Program before returning to the East Coast.
Bassist Ken Walker and Bonnie Lowdermilk on vocals and keyboard perform a Balcony Holiday Show!
The balcony overlooks the Holiday Community Gardens at the corner of Zamia & 16th Streets, 4786 18th Street. The concerts will continue as long as weather allows.
Bring chairs if you like, food, and drink. Please practice social distancing and wear masks. A few chairs will be set out and there’s often vacant ones in the garden.
The concerts are free but donations are welcome. A tip jar will be available or you can Venmo at @BONNIE-LOWDERMILK. Any amount is appreciated.
