Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, Maudslay Arts Center Summer Concert Series, Newburyport, Saturday, August 28th

When: Saturday, August 28th 2010, 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:00 pmWhere: Maudslay Arts Center 95 Curzon Mill Rd., Maudslay State Park, Newburyport, MA
Ticket Prices: Patio seating at tables $20; lawn seating $18.
The summer season at Newburyport’s premiere outdoor venue, the Maudslay Arts Center, continues on Saturday, August 28th with a performance by the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra.
“Klezmer” is the contraction of two Hebrew words meaning “instrument of song.” It stands for both the music and the musician. A little bit Polish, a little Russian, and a little Near Eastern, the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra plays the music of the Eastern European Jews. It shimmers with all of the chutzpha, glorious joy, and soulful crying of the itinerant Yiddish troubadors who performed throughout Europe for 400 years.
These wandering musicians traveled, often on foot, between the shtetls of Eastern Europe, playing at wedding and concerts, bringing the latest news and gossip from the surrounding towns.
