Alicia Svigals
Klezmer Violin
7pm
Admission $12 
Before the big klezmer bands of New York arose with their brass and clarinets, 
there were the archetypical Jewish orchestras of the old world, led by the 
fiddle and bourne aloft by the otherworldy sounds of the harp-like 'tsimbl', or 
Jewish hammered dulcimer. Renowned violinist Alicia Svigals, a founder of the 
Klezmatics and the world's foremost klezmer fiddler, presents a program of 
those ancient and ecstatic Jewish melodies. Accompanied by 'tsimblist' Pete 
Rushefsky, one of the few musicians in the world to have mastered this 
demanding instrument; virtuoso bass player Jim Guttman of the Klezmer 
Conservatory Band; and N.Y.'s top scholar of the Jewish groove, drummer Aaron 
Alexander of Hasidic New Wave.  Come prepared to party with Alicia in the 
ancient manner, and to commune with beloved ghosts from the East European 
Jewish past.       More about Alicia at www.aliciasvigals.com
