It has been said that Klezmer is the Yiddish language in music. Played and sung with pride of religious and cultural identity, and with defiance in the face of persecution and atrocity, Klezmer’s emotionally expressive power has served as a soundtrack of revelry and resistance.
Join local Klezmer group, A Band’n All Hope and special guests for an evening of song performances interspersed with historical insights about lyrics, melodies, writers, composers and the stories told through song.
In partnership with Ovation Chai Point.

A Band’n All Hope plays traditional and modern Klezmer, Yiddish theater, Israeli dance and t’filah music. All the music they play has some kind of tie to Judaism.
