The Lowell Milken Fund for American Jewish Music at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music is excited to launch its inaugural, online series, “Virtual JAM.” These one-hour programs with composers and performers from across the Jewish music world will explore the background, creative processes, and content behind works in the artists’ catalogs. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the artists through the Zoom platform. Whether you are a musician or music lover, this series will offer interesting insights into Jewish music by today’s working artists.
