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.

She sings in the Holocaust documentary film 'Out of the Forest' (Tel-Aviv, 2003) and will be heard in the documentary film of the prewar Vilna Jewish community 'Vilna, the Vanished City' (New York).
Dr. Krupoves is also a scholar. She teaches the history of Jewish music and the history and folklore of the stateless cultures of Lithuania (Yiddish, Karaim, Tatar, Roma, and Russian Old Believers) in the Vilnius Yiddish Institute, Department of History at Vilnius University.
Her repertory of Yiddish songs includes some she herself recorded from Holocaust survivors. She speaks Yiddish fluently and has published articles in Yiddish in the Forverts (New York) and in YIVO Yedies / YIVO News (New York).
In 2001, Dr. Krupoves was awarded a Vladimir and Pearl Heyfetz Fellowship at YIVO in New York. While in the United States, she lectured on the Yiddish culture of Lithuania and performed at YIVO, at Columbia, Indiana, Yale and Yeshiva Universities, and at Brooklyn College.
She has recorded three CD's with a multicultural repertory, among them Songs of the Vilna Ghetto, recorded at a concert in the former Vilna Ghetto Theater.
Her most recent CD called 'Without a Country' with two musicians from New York City, Joey Weisenberg (mandolin) and Travis DiRuzza (bass).

This is an early show so come for dinner and take advantage of the fact that Mo Pitkins specializes in Judeo-Latino cooking (like Paella Maranno or the Cuban Reuben) as well as other (non-kosher) creative takes on Jewish cuisine such as Sadie's Vegetarian stuffed cabbage, matzoh ball soup with lokshin, borscht salad with goat cheese dressing, challah bread pudding, or the "Manischevetini" cocktail. Don't worry-they have more "regular" fare for the less adventurous.
