through the specific cases of the klezmer revival and the construction
of Jewish culture in Germany. The seminar will be conducted by Alan Bern,
musical director of Brave Old World, whose work both as artist and theoretician
is an exploration of interculturality. The languages of instruction will
be English and German. A reader will be distributed in April.
