The Jewish Music Masterclass series presented by The Lowell Milken Fund for American Jewish Music at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music returns on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 with the renowned composer and world music trailblazer, David Amram. Amram’s varied and expansive career serves as a case study of the ongoing evolution of Jewish music.
One of the most eclectic, versatile, and unpredictable American musicians of the 20th–21st centuries, Amram has given equal attention throughout his life to contemporary classical art music, ethnic folk music, film and theater music, and jazz. The Boston Globe has saluted him as “the Renaissance man of American music,” and The New York Times notes that he was “multicultural before multiculturalism existed.”
The Jewish Music Masterclass series invites audiences to engage with some of the biggest names in Jewish music. Artists will discuss their work and share their inspiration by reflecting on how the music may relate to their Jewish identity. All programs are free and will be offered through Zoom.
