Polish
Jewish Music International Conference
The Polish Jewish Music International Conference was held November 15-16, 1998 in Los Angeles California at the School of Music, University of Southern California. This conference, the first of its kind, attempted to fill some of the larger gaps in Polish music history by highlighting
the richness of achievements of Polish composers of Jewish descent and
Jewish music in Poland. It attempted to emphasize the complexity of
cultural relationships between the two ethnic groups, including both assimilation
and coexistence. Discussion centered on composed music and groups of
musicians (klezmer) and communities. For more information, including a list
