Christina Crowder: Trampled Manuscripts: The Lost Klezmer Music of the An-ski Expeditions

Folytatódik az ELTE BTK Néprajzi Intézetének "Kurrens néprajz" előadás-sorozata. Az őszi szemeszter utolsó meghívott vendége Christina Crowder, aki a new york-i Klezmer Intézet digitális projektjeibe nyújt betekintést.

A chance encounter in Tokyo a few years ago led to the sharing of a unique corpus of musical manuscripts from the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine previously unavailable to klezmer musicians and scholars. The Kiselgof-Makonovetsky Digital Manuscript Project is an international digital humanities project connecting participants with the work of important klezmer musicians from late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. This presentation will describe the project methodology, objectives, and current status of the project, focusing on the community-building, crowdsourcing, and collaborative components of the project design. The presentation will also show some of the wonderful music and stories encountered in the musical corpus.
