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.

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.
