[https://www.maia-brown.com/about] Shortly after 7pm, we’ll have two sets of live music. In the spirit of Yiddish tradition we welcome every generation onto the dance floor. However you feel called to join — moving, singing, or simply soaking it in — you are welcome.

All Ages, $22/Adv, $25/Door
Kids Ages 6-12 $11 (kids under 6 free).

Christina and the Zamlers features the accordion of Christina Crowder with Yankl Falk [

] on Clarinet and Jimmy Austin on trombone. Together they create a playful tapestry of sound sure to get your feet off the ground. Much of their music comes from a collection recently made available by the KMDMP [https://klezmerinstitute.org/kmdmp/], a project by the Klezmer Institute digitizing music long locked away in the Vernadsky National Library in Kiev.

Yankl Falk is a Portland-based musician specializing in clarinet and vocals, known for his work in traditional Klezmer and Eastern European folk music. He leads the ensemble Yankl Falk & The Carpathian Pacific Express and has performed at events like the Portland Klezmer Festival.
