Monday Evening Music Club presents: Robin Seletsky & Friends
NORWICH – Monday Evening Music Club, in its 108th year of operation, will welcome Robin Seletsky and Friends at the United Church of Christ in Norwich on April 2 at 7:30 p.m. for a performance of Klezmer music.
While the concert is free and open to the public, MEMC gratefully accepts free-will donations for its two scholarship funds benefitting Chenango County students who wish to pursue careers in music.
Seletsky is a clarinet virtuoso across all music styles from Oneonta. She is trained in classical music and has served as the principal clarinetist in the Binghamton Symphony Orchestra, and the Glimmerglass Opera orchestra.
After learning to play the Klezmer style from her father, Seletsky commissioned a Klezmer Concerto in his honor. Her ensemble, Big Galut(e) is active throughout the New York City area, and beyond.
A release on behalf of MEMC said Klezmer music combine influences of centuries-old Jewish music with various European and other international traditions, including Roma (gypsy) music, Eastern European folk music, French cafe tunes, and jazz.
"It's a very rich genre with emotions ranging from plaintive melodies meant for reflection, to rhythmic, spirited dances," it continues. "If you've seen the movies "Fiddler on the Roof," or "Yentl," you've heard music in the Klezmer style."
MEMC member Sue Marson said, "We in the music club are very fortunate to have the support of the following local businesses and foundations, each of whom made a generous donation towards this concert: ACCO Brands of Sidney, NBT Bank, Preferred Mutual Insurance Company, Sidney Federal Credit Union, and the R.C. Smith Foundation. Without their support, this great night of music wouldn't be possible."
The United Church of Christ is located at 11 West Main Street in Norwich.
