The Hasid has been given a key to open the gates of Heaven.  And what is this 
key? The nigun.       --Rabbi Naftuli of  Ropshitz

Internationally acclaimed Klezmer personalities Michael Alpert, Sruli 
Dresdner and Lisa Mayer invite you to join us for an intimate program of 
old-world Hasidic music and dance.  In a performance that breaks the wall 
between artist and audience, participants gather with us to share the joyful 
and transcendent nigunim of Hasidic communities around the world.

---------------------------

Michael Alpert has been a pioneering figure in the renaissance of East 
European music and dance since its inception over twenty years ago, and is 
internationally known for his performances and recordings with Brave Old 
World, Kapelye, Khevrisa, and many other groups. He was musical director of 
the PBS Great Performances special “Itzhak Perlman: In the Fiddler’s 
House” 
and he is noted for his original Yiddish songs on contemporary themes. 

Sruli Dresdner and Lisa Mayer have been called “Superb Musicians!” by the 
Los Angeles Times. They perform and teach Klezmer and Hasidic music at 
festivals, synagogues and concert halls throughout North America. They have 
been featured on PBS, Showtime, National Public Radio and in NYC’s Folksbiene 
Yiddish Theatre. “Besides being a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist, Sruli 
draws on his childhood background in Hasidism to bring a vibrant spirituality 
to his playing. Lisa too, transcends. She is a dynamic soloist.” Seth 
Rogovoy, Author, The Essential Klezmer.
