BEYOND THE MUSIC TALK SERIES
Have you ever wondered what paths a musician might take outside of performing? In this new interactive talk series, you’ll meet several musicians who speak about their own unique creative space.
Abigale Reisman is a member of the International Jewish Music Festival award-winning Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band, as well as a co-founder of Thread Ensemble, an experimental trio that creates music out of interactions with their audiences. In this talk, Abigale discusses the musical threads that connect classical and klezmer music.
