Join the Boston Workers Circle’s monthly drop-in klezmer jam! We will develop and play a shared repertoire. Let’s make music together whether you’re playing (or learning) the melody, the secund (accompaniment), or contributing to the rhythm section. We’ll approach the music by play the music by ear, a traditional form of learning klezmer.
