Strausse/Warschauer DuoDon't miss this rare opportunity to see one of the most influential and beloved klezmer groups of this generation.

The Duo will perform a lively and participatory concert of klezmer music, Yiddish songs and special repertoire in honor of the theme “Yiddish in the Americas.”

Hailed by the New York Times as “terrific,” Deborah Strauss and Cantor Jeff Warschauer are sweet and soulful performers who draw from klezmer, Yiddish, Hasidic and liturgical music and culture, adding their own original compositions and song settings. Their music is grounded in tradition, yet thoroughly contemporary.

About The Strauss/Warschauer Duo:
For over 25 years, Deborah Strauss (violin, accordion, vocals, dance) and Cantor Jeff Warschauer (guitar, mandolin, vocals) have been at the forefront of the international klezmer and Yiddish music scene. They were both long-time members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, one of the premiere groups of the klezmer revival, and have performed with legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman on film and in concert. As the Strauss/Warschauer Duo, they have performed to overwhelming acclaim in such diverse venues as the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Great Britain’s Fiddles on Fire, the Jewish Culture Festival in Cracow, Poland, and the Art of Yiddish in Los Angeles with the late actor and singer Theodore Bikel.
