Join us on Thursday, July 11 at 7:30 p.m. ET for our opening concert, The Klezmatics, the internationally acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning modern klezmer outfit.

The Klezmatics are Lorin Sklamberg, vocals, piano, and guitar; Matt Darriau, clarinet, saxophone, and recorders; Lisa Gutkin, violin; Paul Morrisett, bass and tsimbl; and Richie Barshay, drums. The Ruth Woolfe Memorial Concert About Yidstock: Now in its twelfth year, Yidstock brings the best in klezmer and new Yiddish music to the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts.
