SUMMARY:Performance:Mir veln zey iberlebn (We will outlive them): Klezmer Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Ann Arbor-based Klezmer band Klezmephonic plays and sings the story of the revival of Eastern European Jewish musicians. \n\nAfter their near total annihilation in World War II\, Klezmer and Yiddish are rising as the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors find the old melodies and wrap their tongues around the old language. \n\nViolinist Henrik Karapetyan\, clarinettist Eric Schweizer\, vocalist Jennifer Goltz\, bassist Dave Sharp\, and percussionist Mike List perform and narrate Klezmer classics\, nostalgic Yiddish ballads\, and the kind of high energy dance tunes one audience member called “bright orange music.” \n\nAmid frolicking freylekhs and sirbas\, wailing clarinet and sobbing violin\, Klezmephonic draws musical connections to resistance movements in Ukraine\, Armenia\, and across the world\, tells a powerful story of tenacity\, and proves that\, for everyone suffering under oppression\, persistence is resistance.
