           |  The story of the Klezmer Music Foundation Logo The Klezmer Music Foundation has been serving the community for nearly 25 years. Our symbol has evolved as we continually discover and promote the past, present, and future of Klezmer Music. Just as the City of Chicago flag has four stars to commemorate critical events in its history, so too does the Chicagoland-based Klezmer Music Foundation see four touchstone events as critical to understanding our mission.
