Myrtle Street Klezmer Band at Nova Arts Block/Brewbakers
Saturday, October 19th at 7:00pm

Myrtle Street Klezmer is a Western Mass based ensemble performing an ecstatic exploration into the past, present, and future of klezmer – the traditional celebratory music of the Ashkenazi Jews.

Myrtle Street Klezmer’s high-energy music draws on Balkan, Greek, Arabic, Rock, and Jazz music, in addition to favorites from the classic and contemporary Klezmer repertoire. We work in the tradition of the old-world klezmer musicians, singing in Yiddish, Hebrew, and Ladino, and teaching audiences about the background and meaning of the music and the tradition.

This concert is funded in part by Congregation Ahavas Achim.

Doors open at 7:00pm and music will start at 8! Seating is first come first served and the show is all ages.
