Event: Klezmer concert Thursday 9/24 1:30-2:30pm

Join us for a klezmer concert to celebrate the Jewish holiday, Sukkot on Thursday 9/24/10 from 1:30-2:30 pm.

Tsu Fil Duvids (Yiddish for "Too Many Daves") is a klezmer ensemble comprised of piano Dave Schlossberg, clarinet Dave Goldfarb, bass Dave Schiff, with Jeff (Dave) Baker on trombone, Rob (Dave) Lowe on violin, Asher (Dave) Siebert on trumpet, and Bill (Dave) Selden on accordion. The ensemble has been heard most recently at Limmud Philly Learningfest, Smokey Joe’s (Teaneck, NJ) , and the Rejoice Festival of Jewish Music (South Brunswick, NJ).

Klezmer (from Yiddish כּלי־זמיר) is a musical tradition of the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe. Played by professional musicians called klezmorim, the genre consists largely of dance tunes and instrumental display pieces for weddings and other celebrations. Although the genre has its origins in Eastern Europe, the particular form now known as klezmer developed in the United States in the milieu of Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrants who arrived between 1880 and 1924.
