Each week in The Listening Service podcast, Tom Service introduces a different way of listening to and imagining a musical idea. How do composers begin a piece of music? Why is repetition so important in all kinds of music, from pop to classical? When does noise become music? In short – how does music actually work?
The most recent episode explores the connections between Klezmer and classical music. Klezmer music is a genre of music derived from and built upon eastern European music in the Jewish tradition.
We are rehearsing a piece featuring Klezmer in Concert Band at the moment:
