Join us as we welcome AmiciMusic back for an afternoon filled with exciting connections between American Jazz and Klezmer-influenced music with works by Jacob Weinberg, Benny Goodman, Bela Kovacs and Lev Kogan. You don't want to miss the fantastic arrangement of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." 

With Seth Kibel on clarinet joining pianist Daniel Weiser, you're in for an unforgettable afternoon.  Both avid educators, Kibel and Weiser will highlight the wonderful confluence of musical styles that occured in the early years of the 20th century, especially in New York City when Eastern European Jews began pouring into the city at the same time as the Great Migration of African-Americans from the South.  As Klezmer mixed with Ragtime, a new sound - Jazz - began to flourish and take the country by storm. 

You won't want to miss this toe-tapping show!
