Klezmer Reawakened - KMDMP 02-37-1047 “Skotshne“

Susi Evans and Szilvia Csaranko are two exceptional musicians who are passionate about the tradition of klezmer music. They perform internationally as a clarinet and accordion duo and are dedicated to teaching klezmer workshops for students of all levels. In March 2020 they released their album ‘Klezmer from the New World’, and published the ’Klezmer Playbook’, a book of 50 traditional klezmer tunes with playalongs. The Kiselgof-Makonovetsky Digital Manuscript Project (KMDMP) is an international digital humanities project to make materials collected by Zinovy Kiselgof during An-ski Expeditions, and the Makonovetsky Wedding Manuscript—long-preserved in the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine—available for researchers, instrumentalists, and singers around the world to engage with first hand. The material comprises Jewish instrumental folk melodies collected by the Belarusian Jewish ethnographer Zusman Kiselgof (Zinovy Kiselgoff) during the An-ski field expeditions conducted between 1912-1914 in the Pale of Jewish Settlement (mostly modern Ukraine and Belarus). This piece of music was digitally notated by Abigale Reisman as part of the Kiselgof-Makonovetsky Digital Manuscript Project (KMDMP).
