“Celebrating Jewish Music" featuring Eisner's Klezmorim

Through klezmer music, song, dance and storytelling, the five piece klezmer band will highlight two events in Eastern European Jewish tradition: shabes, or the day of rest, and the wedding. The audience can participate through nigunim (wordless songs), dancing and taking part in the stories.

Plus, before and after each concert, kids of all ages will get the chance to meet the musicians and try the instruments featured in the performance.
