Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi present "From the Shuk to the Shtetl." The concert traces how the strains of Middle Eastern folk music heard in the busy shuks influenced the klezmer musicians who played throughout Eastern Europe. Arabic, Sephardic, Hebrew, and Yiddish songs and melodies convey the centrality of the Middle Eastern modes and rhythms.
Joining Hot Pstromi are two very special guest musicians: Jamie Papish and Amos Hoffman. Papish is renowned for being one of the top Middle Eastern percussionists, and Hoffman is considered one of the best oud players in the world.
They will be joined by Gunnar Biggs on contrabass, Fred Benedetti on guitar, Tripp Sprague on reeds, Elizabeth Schwartz on vocals, and Yale Strom on violin.
Event Supported By
First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego
The First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego has offered a unique religious voice of freedom, reason, and tolerance since 1873. We do not tell you what you must believe. We don't ask you to check your mind at the door. Instead we invite you to join in a conversation with us about the meaning of life, love, and service. At First Church we encourage you to ask the big questions of life. What do my life and death mean? How do I live with integrity? How can I love well? What gifts of service can I bring to help the world heal? Together we explore the answers of humanity's wisdom traditions - not only from Jewish and Christian sources but also from the world's religions, from nature, from science and from modern thought. First Church has an administrative staff, board of directors, and vibrant volunteer community. We host a variety of church groups and spiritual pathways.
