Dear Friends!

 

From August 4-9, together with one of the world's best klezmer clarinetists, Christian Dawid (Berlin, Germany), I will be leading the workshop Advanced Introduction to Klezmer & Yiddish Music, designed exclusively for conservatory students and professional instrumentalists. I would like to remind you that it is still possible to register for the Workshop by first sending your demo recording to my e-mail and then, if approved, registering via this link.

 

On August 10, as part of the duo Di Yidishe Neshome, I will be playing a concert together with Dr. Alan Bern at Tonndorf Castle (Das Schloß 156, 99438 Tonndorf). As part of our concert, we will play traditional Klezmer and Hassidic melodies as well as our compositions. The concert starts at 7 pm.

 

On August 16, I will be present with several other members of the Semer Ensemble project at the presentation of the film “I dance, but my heart is crying” directed by Christian Weinert, about the history of the Jewish recording studio and store “Semer” that operated in Berlin in the thirties until the November 1938 ferry, and about the Semer Ensemble itself. The film will be shown at the Lichthaus Weimar Cinema (Am Kirschberg 4, 99423 Weimar) at 8 pm.

 

On August 17, together with numerous other Yiddish Summer Weimar artists, I will participate in the final festival concert called Mazltov!, which will take place from 4 to 10 pm at the Weimar Market Square (Markt 1, 99423 Weimar).

​

Finally, on August 31, together with the Bucharest Yiddish State Theater Ensemble, I will perform my concert program Di naye Yidishe Melodyes at the ProEtnica Festival in Sighisoara, Romania.

 

I would be very happy to see all of you at any of these events! I wish you an enjoyable vacation and hope to see you at my concerts!

 

Best wishes, yours,

 

Mark Kovnatskiy.

Check my calendar for more information about my future concerts!

My concert schedule is gradually filling up, which is good news.

 

On the other hand, this means that if you would like to organize an event with my participation (be it a concert, a klezmer music workshop, a Yiddish dance workshop, or a lecture), then now is the time to hurry up and contact me regarding possible dates!
