The World Café Concert Series - a chance to hear great musicians at the

 Village Temple without paying huge cover charges. These concerts are 
designed for families - and to help raise funds for the Village Temple.

  Musicians mingle with the audience, explain their concepts, display

 unusual

  instruments from around the world - bringing the many musical cultures of

 the world to the Village Temple.  

The Strauss/Warschauer Duo brings together two established musicians who are 
deeply committed to klezmer music and Yiddish song.  Their performances are 
an integrated and intimate blend of songs, translations and instrumental 
music – grounded in tradition, yet thoroughly contemporary.  They draw from 
klezmer, Yiddish, Hasidic and liturgical music and culture, adding their own 
original compositions and song settings.  As they sing and play in shifting 
combinations of violin, guitar, mandolin and accordion, they create a dynamic 
atmosphere with an exceptional range of feeling – from delicate and refined 
to exuberant and foot-stomping.
  

Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer are two of the most active and 
well-respected performers and teachers in the klezmer and Yiddish music 
scene.  They are members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and have performed 
with violinist Itzhak Perlman on film and in concert.  As the 
Strauss/Warschauer Duo, they have performed to overwhelming acclaim in such 
diverse venues as the Amsterdam International Yiddish Festival, the Jewish 
Culture Festival in Cracow, the Ashkenaz Festival in Toronto, and the 
Folksbiene Yiddish Theater in New York City.  They lead workshops and classes 
throughout North America and Europe and are on the faculty of the KlezKamp 
and KlezKanada Yiddish culture programs.  

Deborah Strauss (violin, accordion, vocals) is one of the finest 
practitioners of traditional Jewish violin today.  She has appeared on 
numerous recordings and is a member of the Chicago Klezmer Ensemble.  Strauss 
studied violin at Rutgers University and ethnomusicology at the University of 
Chicago.  


Jeff Warschauer (guitar, mandolin, vocals) is known internationally as one of 
the foremost exponents of the klezmer mandolin, as an innovator in the 
development of a klezmer guitar style, and as an expressive Yiddish singer.  
Warschauer is also a composer whose music has been heard in films and theater 
productions, and on Public Radio International and HBO.  A graduate of the 
New England Conservatory, Jeff's solo CD, The Singing Waltz: Klezmer Guitar 
and Mandolin, has received widespread critical acclaim.
