What else do you do?

In addition to running KlezKamp and our vest pocket satellite program, the KlezKamp RoadShow, the mission of Living Traditions -- with our firm belief in the future of Yiddish culture -- is manifested in numerous projects and programs we have initiated over the years. Our CD catalog now numbers over a dozen titles ranging from rare recordings from KlezKamps past to our vaunted "Living Traditions" series spotlighting the great senior masters of Yiddish music. In addition to tunebooks of the late German Goldenshteyn, Living Traditions was also the co-sponsor of 2002 Peabody award winning NPR series "The Yiddish Radio Project" whose influence continues a full decade after the broadcasts.
