Deborah Strauss/Jeff Warschauer Duo at Ashkenaz Tuesday

[Warschauer <Warschauer...>]

The Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer Duo will be performing this Tuesday 
evening, August 31, 1999, at 9:00 PM, in the Urban Square Tent, as part of 
the Ashkenaz Festival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Admission is free.  For 
more information, please call (416) 703-6892.  

The Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer duo brings together two musicians 
whose individual backgrounds in klezmer music and Yiddish song create a 
performance style that is traditionally informed yet uniquely their own.  
Singing and performing on violin, guitar, mandolin and accordion, they weave 
songs, translations and instrumental music into a sound which encompasses an 
exceptional range of colors and textures? from delicate and refined to 
exuberant and foot-stomping.  

As a duo, they have performed to critical and audience acclaim at such 
diverse venues as the Cracow Jewish Culture Festival, the Amsterdam 
International Yiddish Festival, The Folksbiene Yiddish Theater and the 
American Jewish Theater.  They can be heard together on Jeff's CD, "The 
Singing Waltz: Klezmer Guitar and Mandolin," and on the Ellipsis Arts 
compilation, "Klezmer Music: A Marriage of Heaven and Earth."  They are 
currently working on their first duo CD.
