YIDDISH MUSIC: "A MIDSUMMER KLEZ DREAM"

 
Church Avenue Sessions
Wednesday, July 12th
7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
 
Church Avenue Sessions will present "A Midsummer Klez Dream," an evening of traditional and contemporary Yiddish music outdoors, on Wednesday, July 12th, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
 
Forshpil (Latvia-Germany-USA) "Forshpil re-energizes traditional Yiddish songs, Hasidic nigunim and klezmer tunes with modern rhythms, harmonies and instruments. Age-old songs of love and despair induce themselves with psychedelic rock, funk, jazz and other addictive substances."
 
Midwood (Brooklyn) "Led by violinist Jake Shulman-Ment, Midwood is a contemporary klezmer/rock celebration of freedom and the Jewish tradition of wandering and migration."
 
A zingeray (Yiddish sing-along) will also be featured.
 
A $10 donation is suggested.
 
BYOB.
