KlezmerFest Weekends

Have it all! Invite Sruli and Lisa to your community or synagogue for a magical weekend of music and and joy!

Our "Klezfest" or Artist in Residence begins Friday evening with A Klezmer Shabbat -- joyous and reflective, spiritual and galvanizing. From the Rikud -- a spirited dance around the Sanctuary -- to the final "Down by the Riverside" (in Yiddish! and played on washboard and fiddlestick), the entire congregation will be clapping, singing and dancing together.

"Zowie! People are still talking about your visit here and the flow of freilach you left in your wake."
--Cantor Anita Hochman

Saturday Night is a grand evening out! Our KlezKabaret -- just back from a tour of Poland and Israel -- is a concert of virtuosic music, Jewish humor and classic Yiddish song and dance!

"Vibrant and stirringly beautiful -- a deft juggling of the sacred and profane!"
--The Jerusalem Post

PLUS, our famous Family Klezmer Concert -- consistently called "The best family show we ever had!" Perfect for your Hebrew school and the whole community. Fun from the first note, Sruli and Lisa get EVERYONE from Babies to Bubbies clapping singing and dancing in a freylikh frenzy!

You can round out your Klezfest Weekend with any of the following additional programs:

A fabulous, late-night Hassidic Tish. Gorgeous Old World Hassidic melodies sung around a candlelit table -- let's transport ourselves to another world.

"Virtuosic, spiritual, magical!"
--The Forward

Workshops. Instant Klezmer Band and Klezmer Dance Workshops for musicians and singers.

KlezKidz Shabbat or Tot Shabbat. A very special pre-service concert for the "Kleyne Kinderlakh" -- lots of music, lots of dancing, lots of noise and lots of fun!
