Field Work In Focus: Judit Frigyesi
A conversation with Judit Frigyesi on her field work and study of davenen in 1970s-80s Budapest, and her new book "Writing on Water, The Sound of Jewish Prayer." This event is part of an on-going series presented by the Klezmer Institute (klezmerinstitute.org) and will be hosted by Christina Crowder.
About Judit Frigyesi Judit Frigyesi Niran is a teacher, poet, musicologist and ethnomusicologist. One of her expertise is the music of the twentieth century (e.g. Béla Bartók and turn-of-the-century Budapest, California University Press); another is the music of Felix Mendelssohn. Her main ethnomusicological work deals with the prayer chant of the Eastern European Jews. She was the only scholar carrying out fieldwork in Communist East-Europe after WWII. Apart from scholarly publications, she recently completed a documentary novel treating this topic (Writing on Water The Sounds of Jewish Prayer, CEU Press). As a writer and photographer, she published short stories and poems, created photo exhibitions and multimedia projects; her theatrical montage Fleeting Resonances, which combines poetry, film, audio, and live performance, has been staged in Germany, Hungary, and Israel.

About the Series Much of the European klezmer canon was collected and curated in the early twentieth century by Magid, Kiselgof, Beregovski and other members of the Russian Jewish folklore movement, but important field work continued from the 1980s through to the present. Meet some of the musicologists, musicians, folklorists and archivists who are intimately engaged with the deep work of oral transmission in musical culture. Each thematic series will feature 3-5 individual interview sessions followed by a capstone round table discussion.
