Treat your father ( or yourself) to a trip down memory lane this Father's Day, June 15, at the Klezmer Brunch at Tonic. Philadelphia area tenor, Richard Lenatsky, will perform oft-neglected folk and art songs made popular by such past luminaries of the Jewish music scene as Seymour Rechtzeit, Ben Bonus, Sidor Belarsky, and Jan Peerce. Let's keep the songs and the memory of the artists who performed them alive.
Richard will be accompanied on piano by well-known musician and Yiddish teacher (Uof Penn), Alexander (Sender) Botwinik. Show times are 1:30 and 3pm, $10 per show or $15 for both.
Who is Richard Lenatsky? Residing in West Chester, PA, I've been performing Yiddish art songs in the Phila. area and Amherst, MA, for about 10 years.

This will be our first appearance at Wednesday Folk Traditions since the release of our most recent album, "Sing for Peace, Dance for Joy." And we've added new material to our repertoire even since the release of the album.
At the June 18th concert we will be debuting two songs about our relationship to money-- one is a updated old Yiddish vaudeville song, a biting satire about the corrupting effects of money, and the second, it's antidote, is a melodic comparison of money used for good or for selfish purposes. As usual, we'll be using subtitles and other means for making sure that the non-Yiddish speakers in our audience will understand everything we're singing about.

Following mornings of music, you can hike on our private wilderness tract or on the many acres of public land nearby. Or explore the cultural resources of the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area.
This class is open to anyone who can play simple tunes on their instrument. You do not have to read music or be familiar with Klezmer style. We encourage both solo players and existing ensembles to participate. Class will run daily from 9 AM until noon. Informal practice and jam time possible in the afternoons. An optional Yiddish culture program will also be available. $200.
The week will conclude with a student concert and a concert by Cookie and Josh on Friday evening.
This weeklong workshop could be a great start or end to a southwestern summer vacation or a vacation unto itself.

June 28 at 7:00 We open the Kent Connecticut Music Festival. For these three concerts we'll have a slightly different sound as Adrianne Greenbaum will be featured on the wood flute playing some of her "new" tunes from FleytMuzik, accompanied by Brian Bender on piano and Roy Weisman on bass. Of course Brian will also play trombone throughout the evening! Of course TKT's core musicians Fraidy Katz and Walter Mamlok will be there to give that TKT tam! (For those asking "Where is Cookie?" she's out and about fiddling across the countryside and will return to us in August.) The exact location of the concert is unknown at present typing so please email me closer to the concert day if you plan to attend. Kent is located in beautiful Litchfield County. For further info: www.klezband.com.
Directions:
Kent is approximately 45 minutes north of Danbury on Route 7. Take Route 7 north of Danbury, through New Milford to the Bulls Bridge Inn, the first of only two traffic lights in Kent. Four miles north of the Inn there is a large field on the right, across from the Kent Greenhouse. Parking is in an adjacent field, also on the right. These are called the Kent Land Trust fields.
If you reach the second light in town, you've driven too far. If it is raining, make a left at this second traffic light at the intersection of Route 7 and Route 341, drive a quarter mile and take another left onto the grounds of the private Kent School, not the public Kent Center School. The address for The Kent School is Kent School Route 341, Kent, CT 06757 and therefore should get you close to the regular "sunshine" site as well!
It is forty-five minutes by car from Danbury. The fields open to the public by 6:00PM. The music starts at 7:00PM.
