Re: Deborah Strauss/Jeff Warschauer Duo at Ashkenaz Tuesday

I simply wanted to mention, having reviewed my videos of Klezkanada
performances, that I thought you and Deborah have come a long way in the
past year as a duo. Good luck at Ashkenaz. Stu and Gladys Warshauer

Subject: Deborah Strauss/Jeff Warschauer Duo at Ashkenaz Tuesday


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.
