If you've ever found yourself in certain kinds of synagogues, you may have noticed a particular way in which people daven (pray): by mumbling! Haven't you wondered how to mumble in a respectable and G-d-fearing way? Or would you like to help others pray the Kaddish at lightning speed? Then this is the class for you! Come and celebrate the silliness of the Purim season by taking a super serious class about mumbling and grumbling your way through all of the Jewish liturgy.

Kevin Lubin (he/they) is a composer, instrumentalist, and silly goose from New York and now living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They have a degree in harpsichord performance and composition from Adelphi University, where their klezmer opera Four Jewish Women Playing Mah Jongg was premiered. Other compositional highlights include composing only the most serious pieces of music for toy piano, kazoo, and squeaky pig toys. Kevin is also the harpsichordist and viola da gamba player of baroque ensemble "Four and Twenty Strings." In this role, they have curated riveting and educational concerts including those highlighting Jewish composers of the 17th century. On a typical day, Kevin can be found brewing multiple cups of coffee, singing in Yiddish, and scheduling more rehearsals than they have time for.
