Tel: 858 452-1734
www.congregationbethel.org

This will be a klezmer concert unlike any you have ever attended, with internationally renowned, world class artists performing classic and new Jewish music: Elizabeth Schwartz (vocals) has been hailed as the "Edith Piaf" of klezmer for her timbre and intepretation. Duncan Moore (percussion) is one of California's most sought after drummers. Fred Benedetti is San Diego's favorite classical/world beat guitarist. UCSD's very own Mark Dresser is one of the leading jazz bass improvisors in the world. And joining us from NYC will be Greg Wall on reeds (clarinet, sax). Greg has played with Greg Wall & Latter Day Prophets and the Klezmer Conservatory Band and is known for his khasidic/jazz style. Leading this ensemble is Yale Strom (violin), the world's leading artist-ethnographer of klezmer music and culture and San Diego State University's artist-in-residence.

Nikitov
Mrt. 31
Folkcafé De Lantaern
Zevenaar, NL
21.00

The Dutch-American Yiddish music quartet is in the middle
of their "Fun Shtetl Tsu Shtetl" all-synagogue tour of Holland.
The response has been overwhelming and the shows are selling out
across the country. Nikitov has been touring in support of their
latest recording "Vanderlust" on Chamsa records both in the US and
Europe. The group concludes the tour at De Waag in Haarlem where
centuries of troubadors performed to prove their skill and talent
and, in more recent history, folk singers like Joan Baez and Simon
and Garfunkel have come to pay homage to the great singers of the
past.
