Internationally renowned klezmer trombonist Dan Blacksberg sits down for in-depth and informal conversations with musicians and other artists whose work has made them an integral part of the klezmer world.

Avia Moore

Many listeners of this podcast will know our guest this month, Avia Moore from being an internationally renowned Yiddish dance leader and teacher, and from being a longtime faculty and current artistic director of Klezkanada. But did you know that she is a photographer and graphic designer who has made some of your favorite Klezkanada art and klezmer album covers? Or that she is a scholar and has a PHD in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies?

We cover everything we can in this conversation starting with the fact that Dan and Avia started our journeys into Yiddish music, dance, culture, etc. all at the same time, specifically as Klezkanada scholarship students way back in 2003. We use our personal stories and experiences to dive into Avia’s research, especially what is this whole term “Post-Vernacular” and how it can help us understand ourselves and our Yiddish Culture scene. This is serious food for thought for not only those of us in our Yiddishland, but really for our entire contemporary Jewish culture and beyond.
