A Glezele Tey (Yiddish for “a very little glass of tea”) invites audiences into a warm, intimate, and enthralling performance of klezmer, Yiddish folk song, and tkhines (traditional Ashkenazi prayers centering the experiences of women, trans, and gender non-conforming people, set to new melodies). Rooted in the music of the Eastern European Jewish diaspora, their performances are soulful, spontaneous, and deeply personal. A Glezele Tey will have the audience dancing, singing along, and experiencing the full range of human emotions!The day will consist of 3 parts: workshop, concert, and community pot luck. Come for some or all of the fun!

4 - 5:30pm Concert in the Sanctuary
6pm Community Potluck in the Peacock & Music Rooms - Everyone is invited!

WORKSHOP
Join A Glezele Tey for an engaging Yiddish Song and Instrumental Klezmer Workshop, open to all with no prior experience necessary! We will begin with a short presentation and demonstration on the roots of Ashkenazi instrumental music (klezmer) and Yiddish song. Following this, we will break into smaller groups, each led by a member of A Glezele Tey, to focus on the music more deeply. The workshop will conclude with everyone coming back together to sing and play as a group.
++ Be sure to check out the CineConcert: The Ancient Law the day before! ++
