Alicia Svigals- DC klezmer workshop

Alicia Svigals, one of the world's foremost klezmer fiddlers, presented a master class to the DC Klezmer Workshop at Adas Israel Congregation. 

Gorgeous music, much learning.

The Klezmatics at JXJ

The Grammy-winning Klezmatics performed at the JXJ Festival at the EDCJCC.

Thanks to everyone in the band: Lorin Sklamberg, Matt Darriau, Paul Morissette, Frank London, Lisa Gutkin, and guest drummer Grant Smith, and to JXJ director Mardy Shauly and staff, especially Yaa Amoakohene. 

Baymele in concert

I recently photographed the fine Bay Area klezmer ensemble Baymele. Their DC concert was co-sponsored by my congregation, Fabrangen, and the good folks at the DC Klezmer Workshop.

Baymele is: Matthew Stein - violin; Dmitri Gaskin - accordion; and Misha Khalikulov - cello.

Shayne shayne musik.
