AN EVENING OF KLEZMER MUSIC, SONG, AND COMEDY
KLEZKANADA GROYSER KONCERT.
TO BE HELD IN MONTREAL FOR FIRST TIME


February 29, 2004 
The GROYSER KONCERT is coming to Montreal. 
A popular feature of the KlezKanada Festival of Yiddish/Jewish Music and Culture  held annually in the Laurentians, the GROYSER KONCERT is relocating to Montréal  and the first concert will take place Sunday, February 29 at the Monument National  Theatre, 1182 Boulevard Saint-Laurent. 
Three internationally acclaimed groups will headline the program: New York-based  Brave  Old World ,  which has stood at the forefront of the Klezmer revival around-the-world for  over two decades; Beyond the Pale, a  Toronto group that has been winning raves across North America for its contemporary  approach to traditional Klezmer  music; and Montreal’s Shtreiml , just  back from a successful European tour that won raves for its Klezmer, gypsy  and jazz music. 
Broadway singing star Joanne Borts and Yaela Hertz,  violinist and concertmaster emerita of the McGill Chamber Orchestra, will also  be featured. Michael  Wex, the celebrated author, raconteur and itinerant teacher of Yiddish,  will be the MC. 
Jointly sponsored by KlezKanada, the YM-YWHA Montreal Jewish Community  Centres and the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts, the GROYSER KONCERT signals the  beginning of a collaborative relationship between the organizations, with the  intent of creating a permanent base for Klezmer music in Montréal. 
Proceeds help support KlezKanada’s unique youth scholarship fund  and the cultural programming of Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts. 
Patron tickets at $250 and Supporter tickets at $100 are available with partial  tax receipts. General admission (Balcony seats) is $36 and tickets  are on sale at the Saidye Bronfman Centre Box Office, 5170 Côte Ste-Catherine Road,  or by telephone at (514) 739-7944.
