» ... full of ornamental and improvisational fantasy, the old-new klezmer music began to speak for itself... [...] tremendously contemporary and current. It is enticing in a completely unique manner: magically intense moments. Effusive vitality.«

Christian Dawid and Sanne Möricke have been teaching at international festivals and academies in Weimar, Montreal, New York, London, Vienna, St Petersburg, Fürth, San Francisco and Paris.
As Khupe, they have been directing workshops in Cracow, Vienna, Erfurt, Göttingen or at Klezmerwelten Gelsenkirchen, amongst others.
Workshops focus on style and performance of klezmer music at any level from beginning to professional, as well as cultural and historical backgrounds, klezmer theory, lectures on genres, interpreting sources, cultural contexts and, not last, the pure joy of playing and exploring the style in a friendly and constructive atmosphere free of competition.
Workshops can run at any length from two hours to two weeks.
Languages: English, Dutch, German.
The faculty can be extended: Khupe collaborates regularly with the best international teachers for almost every instrument, and teachers of Yiddish dance.
If you are interested in presenting a klezmer music or Yiddish dance workshop with Khupe, please contact us!
