  • Milken Archive of Jewish Music: A collection of CDs covering 350 years of Jewish American music, broadly defined. Already released volumes include Bernstein, Weill and other classical composers, Yiddish show tunes, Dave Brubeck, introductions, etc.

• Jewish Songs. Organize a Hillel sing-along songfest or just invite someone over to sing. Singing resource materials available at Hava Nashira-Jewish Song Leaders Page; recordings and sheet music for sale at Tara Jewish Music. Harvard Hillel has published a superb collection of Shabbat z'mirot (songs).
• Shabbat Songs. Learn Shabbat songs (see Utah Hillel's Learning and Leading Shabbat Services Page) or join a service or Friday dinner to sing them (see the Utah Hillel Shabbat and Holidays Page).
• Bring a performer to Utah. Many listings at Jewish Entertainment Resource Directory. Some more at Hillel International. Utah Hillel can help arrange funding.
• Klezmer in Utah. Would you like to run the First Utah Hillel Klezmer Party? Or to hear KlezBros, our local klezmer band (contact information at their webpage: www.klezbros.com? Or to set up a local mini-version of the Toronto Ashkenaz Festival (with hours of sound clips) or the Safed Klezmer Festival (recently reviewed in the Jerusalem Report)? Or just to download from the Free Jewish Music site or buy CDs from Tara Jewish Music (now with dozens of cuts from their CDs) between their visits here? (See Ari's Klezmer Shack, Klezmer On Line and the music section of Virtual Shtetl for more sites, clips and CDs; Tzadik for a label specializing in avant garde klezmer; Utah Hillel's Summer, Internships and Conferences Page for the Oxford Institute for Yiddish Studies summer klezmer program or visit the Virtual Shtetl for information on various "Klezmer camps.")

• Hear NPR's story about Shlomo Bar and HaBrera HaTiveet, the first Israeli group to cross the Jewish/Arab and other ethnic divides in Israel with fusion Sephardic/North African/Israeli music.
• And NPR's story about Amal Murkus, an Palestinian-Israeli who is the first Arab to record on an Israeli label and whose sometimes political songs are a surprise hit in the Jewish market.
• Learn to sing services or chant Torah.
• Classical music: We've arbitrarily decided not to include classical music listings unless they have some specifically Jewish connection (beyond composer, musicians, venue or audience), on the theory that this isn't where you'd look for it. But look for Hillel members playing and attending at the Utah Symphony, the JCC and Kol Ami concert series, and Westminster and University productions.
