DETAILS:  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.  As members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, they 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 serve 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, a graduate of the New England Conservatory, is also a

composer

whose music has been heard in films and theater productions, on Public

Radio

International, and HBO.  Jeff’s solo CD, The Singing Waltz:  Klezmer

Guitar

and Mandolin, has received widespread critical acclaim.
