Grace Presents Yid Vicious
Noon
Next Saturday, July 14, Grace once again prepares itself for a return visit from the delightfully clever Yid Vicious.

"The Madison band of Yid Vicious was formed in 1995 in order to ameliorate the woeful dearth of klezmer in America's otherwise pleasant heartland. Klezmer is Yiddish folk music,
music for dancing and celebrating, and Yid Vicious has been spreading its infectious, original blend of freylekh fun throughout the midwest and beyond for over a decade.

Although its repertoire is drawn mainly from traditional secular
Yiddish music, the band strives to infuse the music with its own unique aesthetic and experience. Rather than replicate a
particular time and place, Yid Vicious celebrates the long-standing tradition of klezmorim incorporating new musical ideas into an organic and ever-evolving art form.

The band's seven members blend their individual professional backgrounds in classical, jazz, and world music genres to create a Klezmer experience that will electrify audiences
of all ages and backgrounds."

Grace member Barb Karlen's daughter, Kia, and I believe son-in-law, but I could be wrong about that, are members of the band, bringing a nice connection for members of Grace.

How fortunate we are to have the opportunity to host this group of musicians as they continue to explore and celebrate Klezmer music in America.  Bring your friends and your re-usable shopping bag.  Between the Farmers' Market and what's waiting inside those big, lovely red doors of Grace - it's going to be a wonderful morning on the Capitol Square.
