---> Talk of the town: last week KPFK promoted the concert on Global Village with Betto Arcos!

Join in the celebration.  Yiddishkayt invites you to a concert exploring the many faces of Russian-Jewish wedding music.  The unique trio of musicians shares an incredible, encyclopedic fluency in Jewish, Moldavian, Roumanian and Russian music, a rare and special talent.

Local treasures Isaac Sadigursky (Clarinet) and David Kasap (Accordion) have been playing music together for 50 years, meeting in their youth as Conservatory roommates.  Isaac and David are both natives of what is now Moldova, located between Ukraine and Roumania.  They are joined by world-renowned klezmer revivalist and music scholar, Michael Alpert (Creative Direction, Violin & Voice) of Brave Old World.  Fluent in Yiddish, Russian, Polish, Spanish, German, Serbo-Croatian and conversant in a dozen more languages, Michael has drawn from his deep family heritage and extensive travels to become a pioneering figure in the current renaissance of East European Jewish klezmer music for over 25 years.

FREE ADMISSION, general seating

RSVP to reserve a seat by emailing us your name and number of people in your party (up to 4).
(You do not need to RSVP to attend the concert.)
