WHOLESALE KLEZMER BAND TO PRESENT BENEFIT CONCERT
March 3rd Performance Will Benefit The Food Bank

The Wholesale Klezmer Band will perform a concert in celebration of 
the Purim holiday at the Jewish Community Center in Amherst on March 
3 at 1:00 p.m. Proceeds from the concert will go to The Food Bank of 
Western Massachusetts.

Since 1982 The Wholesale Klezmer Band has been performing in the 
traditional context of providing music and dance leadership for 
Jewish weddings and other special occasions, but have also performed 
at the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Hall and at the Inauguration of 
President Clinton. Their repertoire includes music for dance, 
traditional Yiddish folk songs, and Yiddish theater and vaudeville 
songs, including original compositions. They specialize in making 
their music accessible to the English-speaking world with 
translations, stories, explanations, visual aids, and that universal 
language that speaks to your feet and makes them want to dance. They 
write many of their own dance tunes and Yiddish songs that speak to 
contemporary concerns emphasizing values of Yiddishkayt, peace and 
justice. The Wholesale Klezmer Band recently released a new album, 
Zingen far sholem, tantsn far freyd (Sing for Peace, Dance for Joy).

sponsored by the Wholesale Klezmer Band and the Jewish Community
