Re: Klezical Tradition concert: more info

[Dick Rosenberg <mashke...>]

Anybody from the Boston area who DIDN'T go to the Klezical Tradition concert 
tonight (and you know who you are) should be, as the expression goes, ashamed 
of yourself.

Adrianne Greenbaum on lucious virtuosic flute, as well as keyboard, accordion 
and tsimbl, Cookie Segelstein on violin/viola, Walter Mamlok on clarinet, and 
Fraidy Katz singing up a storm put on a wonderful 2 hours of music tonight 
(accompanied by a bass player named Jim Guttman some of you may have heard of). 

The program ranged from Yiddish vocals of all ilks by Fraidy to 19th century 
simkhe music (dobre dyen/good morning waltzes which were played at the 
beginning/end of the week long wedding celebration) to dance instruction to 
more freylekhs and bulgars played with more energy, passion and enthusiasm than 
any I have heard in a long time. Such fluting, fiddling, clarineting and 
singing!

Given that Boston is the spawning ground of so much Klezmer music, it's too bad 
we don't get to hear more of it in our own back yard with more regularity. 
Tonight was a wonderful exception.
