We are proud to present the Hester Street Klezmer Troupe. The trio will play the music performed by itinerant musicians in the Jewish villages.in Eastern Europe during the 19th and early 20th Centuries. You don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy this. It should be a memorable concert. See them on you tube.
