Probably, most of you are familiar with the music of Deborah Strauss and
Jeff Warschauer. I'm including the following, excerpted from their
publicity materials, in case you are not:

"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 footstomping."

By the way, if there is anyone on this list who lives near enough to attend
one of these concerts, even if you don't go to one, I'd like to know about
you. When it comes to klezmer music, I'm pretty isolated here. It would be
great if you would contact me off list.

Thanks,

Matt Jaffey
