Metropolitan Klezmer

Brief News

Music of the Yiddish Silver Screen
Last February, bandleader/film scholar Eve Sicular presented her multimedia program at Harvard University's Center for Jewish Studies in Cambridge MA

We are honored that music from Metropolitan Klezmer (our version of Yiddish instrumental tune Der Gasn Nigun from our debut disc Yiddish For Travelers) is the first cue on the soundtrack of Ralph Arlyck’s documentary feature I Like It Here premiered at the New York Jewish Film Festival in Jan. 2023.

Bandleader/film scholar Eve Sicular was awarded a Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellowship Alumni Grant for New Yiddish Culture, to create a new version of Farlangen from Henekh Kon's 1937 Dybbuk soundtrack.

A new klezmer tradition takes root in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park — article in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency with a few words from US Klezmer scene veteran, Eve Sicular.
