Sounding Jewish in Berlin: Klezmer Music and the Contemporary City explores in lively detail the music, musical networks and performance spaces of the contemporary Berlin klezmer and Yiddish music scene. It chronicles an avowedly international group of musicians (Jewish and non-Jewish) who collectively represent an important new transnational voice for this traditional Eastern European Jewish music. What makes their work unique, however, is the way that it taps directly into Berlin’s particular twenty-first century street-level creativity, enthusiasm, and imaginative responses to spatial practice. By engaging with the city itself, klezmer in Berlin has moved beyond ‘revival’—revealing how traditional culture can remain relevant within a shifting, overlapping, decidedly modern, urban cosmopolitanism.
