FleytMuzik, with Adrianne Greenbaum, (flute) Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl)
and Marty Confurius (bass), will perform at Beth El, 8215 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, MD for a Shabbat weekend, March 3,4, and 5.
Friday night is a Klezmer Kabbalat Shabbat , with all instrumental tunes composed by Adrianne. Service begins at 6:30 with dinner following.
Saturday evening is Havdala (6:30) followed by a Malaveh Malkah dessert and dancing, with the above musicians plus guest clarinetist and lister, Tom Powalski. We'll dance the evening away with my leading of the freylekhs, sher, hora, and whatever else people are up for doing. (Social dancing as well, I'm told....so I will bring the keyboard and Tom will lug the sax. Something for everyone....)
Sunday morning will be a Hebrew school program introducing the kids to klezmer.
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!

KlezFactor
returns to Toronto's Free Times Cafe for their
"Bella, Did ya eat?" Brunch. KF will perform in a
(slightly) reduced form, due to the small venue as well as
the traditional nature of the music.
Ali Berkok will melodicize on melodica, Mark Pellizzer will electrify on guitar, Jennifer Burford will certainly not be vile on the violin and Mike Anklewicz will play clearly on the clarinet.
Brunch is $17.95 - reservations are recommended for each sitting - 11:45 am, and 1:45 pm. Call 416-967-1078 for more information.
