We'll dance the evening away with my leading of the freylekhs, sher, hora, and whatever else people are up for doing.

Call 301-652-2606 for reservations and more info. (The office might be confused, somewhat, since the flyers said "Klezical Tradition" instead of FleytMuzik....same flutist, different ensemble....just so you know up front why the potential confusion on their part....) Hope to see some of you Southerners there!

Kurt Weill Birthday Tribute
Saturday Mar. 4
8:00 PM
Curated by Anthony Coleman. Featuring Elysian Fields, Mark Anthony Thompson, Sanda, Shelley Hirsch, Doveman, Christina Courtin, Gina Leishman and the Main Squeeze Orchestra.
Kurt Weill, one of America's greatest composers, embraced myriad musical forms but found his greatest success in popular music and theater. Raised in Germany, the classically trained cantor's son developed dark, emotional and subversive social and political commentaries in collaboration with playwright Bertolt Brecht. Pianist Anthony Coleman and friends pay tribute to the man behind The Threepenny Opera and present modern takes on his seminal songs, including "Ballad of the Soldier's Wife," "Alabama Song," "Mack the Knife" and "Lost in the Stars."
This event will take place at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, 199 Chambers Street.
Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the door.
Tickets may be purchased online on the Makor/92nd St. Y Website

Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, one of the country’s top klezmer orchestras, will bring their traditional Jewish jazz sound to Riverdale as part of the birthday celebration/fundraiser/ dance for Congregation Tehillah, a socially conscious synagogue based in Riverdale that was founded five years ago.
Shirim, based in Boston, is considered to be one of the top klezmer orchestras in the country. Their toe-tapping arrangements of classic klezmer tunes and ingenious takes on classical composers such as Tchaikovsky, Mahler, and Satie have been featured in films, on radio, and at colleges, concert halls, and weddings across the country. Billboard magazine awarded them a critic’s choice and their album Klezmer Nutcracker has become an annual program on National Public Radio.
Many of the musicians that will play at the Tehillah party are also members of Naftule’s Dream, a jazz/klezmer ensemble that has been breaking down the barriers of traditional klezmer music. Combining klezmer with modern classical, freely improvised rock fusion, and fiery improvisation, Naftule’s Dream is "without a doubt the most startlingly original, audacious music I've heard," according to Bill Milkowski of Jazz Times.
Shirim will play two dance/music sets between 9 and 11:30 pm. The concert/fundraiser is open to the public. (Doors open at 8:30 pm) Other events will include a silent auction and a dessert tasting (free with admission). Tickets for the party are $18 each and can be purchased in advance through Congregation Tehillah or at the door. For more information or for tickets visit www.congregationtehillah.org or call (718) 884-4839

Y-Love (Yitz Jordan) is an MC unlike any other. He is a black convert into the Bostener sect of chassidus (the mystical branch of Orthodox Judaism). He is among the most innovative freestylers on the scene, weaving seamless polyglot rhymes in English, Arabic, Yiddish, and Hebrew. Most unique is Y-Love's revival of Aramaic, the ancient language used to discuss Jewish Law. With each word he spits in the tongue of the Talmud, Y-Love breathes new life into Hasidism, and hip-hop, one beat at a time.
