Title
JEWISH MUSIC INSTITUTE SOAS
Description
The Jewish Music Institute is dedicated to the celebration, preservation and development of the living heritage of Jewish music for the benefit of all.
JMI Forums such as the International Forum for Suppressed Music, the International Forum for Yiddish Culture and the Forum for the Promotion of Arab-Jewish Dialogue Through Music, provide an international focus for study and musicianship. In each sector there are programmes in education, performance and information.
JMI documents, preserves, teaches and presents to the public, all aspects of the Jewish musical heritage: liturgical, classical, ethnic and folk as well as music suppressed by Nazi and Soviet tyranny. Since its work began in 1984, JMI provides musicians and students with theoretical and practical training and resources, in a heritage that spans three millennia and a wide geographic area - wherever Jews have settled. JMI supports university courses for undergraduates and postgraduates. It runs workshops and Summer Schools at SOAS as well as regular classes and outreach projects in the diverse British community. It presents the finest performances in concert halls across the country and commissions new works.
