Hallé St Peter's welcomes the Klezmorim of Manchester for a toetapping evening of freshly arranged music and traditional klezmer dance.Join us at Hallé St Peter’s for an evening of (optional) participatory dance led by Judith Plowman and Adrian Dobson. Dance the night away to a selection of bulgars, freylekhs, horas, and khosidls performed by the Klezmorim of Manchester dance band. And then rest your feet for interludes featuring Klezmer Klassica's crossover repertoire. The Halle's Chris Emerson (viola/violin) joins both the dance band and Klezmer Klassica for this klezmer evening in this striking Hallé venue in Ancoats. With pastries from Salford's famous Brackman's Bakery, this is an opportunity to put your left and right foot into the world of klezmer, the musical and dance cultures of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, as they might have been for weddings back in the day. Try out a dance or two from this inter-generational, communal dance culture, or simply sit back and listen to this rich crossover of musical tradition.There is also the opportunity to have a dance lesson before the main event, should you wish to learn some dance steps.The evening is jointly organised by
