di bostoner klezmer w/Michael Alpert, Teaneck, NJ, May 7
di bostoner klezmer
with special guest Michael Alpert on vocals and accordion!
in a FREE concert
Sunday, 5/7 at 3:00 P.M.
at the Teaneck Public Library
840 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ (phone: 201-837-4171)
Original, mostly rarely performed, klezmer and Hasidic rep performed with gusto and panache in a smallish (100 person) hall. Experience Brian Bender's melodica doyne and hora and marvel at his quick change to trombone for the bulgar ...and Michael's trademark krekhts on a cool Beregovski-collected song you've probably never heard.
The venue is easy to get to even by public transportation.
By car: Route 4 (from GW Bridge or from the West off Routes 87, 17), exit Teaneck Road (the direction to Ridgefield Park, not Bergenfield). A block later, pass one light and a block later on the right is the libary,
Traveling by Route 80, take Leonia/Teaneck exit, procede two lights later to intersection with Teaneck Road. Right on Teaneck Road, and about 2 miles later (right after a traffic light with Holy Name Hospital on the Left) you will see the library on the left.
Free parking.
By public transportation: both NJ Transit or one of many private jitneys run on Route 4 from Paterson and from the Port Authority uptown terminal (178th St.). Ask the driver to stop at Teaneck Road, and walk the two blocks to the Library.
