Such was the positive reception it received by the participants and the Music Department, that it became a new option within the (assessed) Ensemble Performance module for the 2011-12 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>None of these developments would have possible without the financial support of the Jewish Music Institute and the department itself. And we received very positive encouragement from Michael Kahan\u2019s family to honour his memory and celebrate his passion for klezmer through this new ensemble.<\/p>\n<p>The first cohort (see picture) of willing klezmorim were real pioneers whose enthusiasm enabled everything else that has followed and for this contribution to klezmer at Manchester we are indeed grateful.<\/p>\n<p>One memory really stays with us from that era \u2013 the \u2018flash-busking\u2019 of these pioneers one lunch-time on the steps of the Martin Harris Centre \u2026.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
