What is a “critical edition” and how does it open new vistas for musicians? The symposium follows a pioneering world-wide, crowd-sourced effort by the Klezmer Institute to bring hundreds of newly-discovered musical manuscripts from Ukraine's national library into circulation. Klezmer musicians around the globe are now performing lost melodies collected on An-sky's famed folklore expeditions through Ukraine (1911-1914) and subsequent fieldwork by Soviet-Jewish ethnomusicologist Moshe Beregovsky.
