In this season we grew the community of metro-area residents actively participating in a Klezmer and Yiddish music tradition. This was accomplished through building audience engagement with our regular biweekly learning sessions, as well as bringing participatory performances to other community locations ? essentially ?putting the show on the road?, and bringing it to where people already are. These outreach locations included synagogues, a senior living center, and gatherings of attendees at other culturally-Jewish art events. We produced and distributed recorded and transcribed material of over 25 pieces of traditional repertoire, using a shared file database as well as individual one-to-one communication between lead musicians and participants. Evaluation by our outside cultural advisors and audience participants indicates that we are moving in the right direction in regards to building a community of practice, while maintaining integrity of the cultural tradition in doing so.
