Here I would like to add two details about the above program. 

First, per an email exchange with Michael Alpert, the "Michael Alpert 
Ensemble" will feature German Goldenshteyn and another rubric for the band will 
be:  
"The Red Army Klezmer Band."  For those of you who are not familiar with 
Bessarabian clarinetist German Goldenshteyn and his repertory, this event is a 
golden opportunity to hear some very amazing klezmer music with some really 
great 
performers.  

Concerning the  Pripetshik Singers, they are an inspiring group of young 
people.  In fact it  may not be any exaggeration to assert that they are the 
world's only all-Yiddish kids' travelling performing troupe.  Binyumen ("Ben") 
Schaechter is the musical director and pianist for this talented bunch of kids. 
 

This should be a very entertaining concert, and in my experience, it's best 
to get there well before the 7pm start as seats vanish quickly.  But if you 
like dancing in the aisles, perhaps that's no handicap!  In fact I read 
somewhere 
that there will be folk dancing as of 6pm, not exactly sure how that might 
work with such a tremendous crowd of people.  Perhaps somebody on the list 
knows 
about this and can elaborate further.  Take the IRT 1/9 train to the 66th St. 
stop.  Or think alphabet and take the A, B, C or D trains to 59th St, 
Columbus Circle and see you on Tuesday!
