Curiosity Concerts Presents Sruli & Lisa’s Family Klezmer Band

Curiosity Concerts is a series of free family concerts presented by professional musicians at different venues in Greenwich. Concerts are 50 minutes long and are designed to inspire parents as well as their children of any age (but children should be able to enjoy an hour of music). Sruli & Lisa’s Family Klezmer Band will perform on Sunday, Feb. 21.

Sruli & Lisa’s Family Klezmer Band features their sons Zachary, 25, on baritone saxophone and Aaron, 20, on piano and percussion, and you’ll also hear clarinet, violin, accordion, drums, jaw harp, musical saw, and nose flute. Their mix of traditional music, song, dance, and mischegas (Yiddish for “fun”) will have you clapping, singing, and dancing in the aisles. Sruli & Lisa have been featured on PBS-TV and NPR, and the Family Band has headlined at festivals worldwide, from Cracow to Toronto. All four family members perform for the Folksbiene National Yiddish Theatre, teach at KlezKanada and KlezKamp, and devote themselves to the next generation of young klezmorim (musicians).

This concert has two showtimes at 2 and 4 p.m. Meet the musicians and enjoy kosher treats at a reception from 3 to 4 p.m. in the Greenwich Arts Council’s galleries at 299 Greenwich Avenue.

The concert is free, but reservations are required at CuriosityConcerts.org
