Chicago-based klezmer band Upshtat Zingerai has emerged over the last several years as a central force in the continuity and evolution of klezmer music and Yiddish dance — the traditional music and folk dance of Eastern European Jews — in Chicago. Join us as Upshtat Zingerai performs soulful klezmer melodies that have traveled where Eastern European Jews have lived over time, infusing additional cultural music traditions and stories that ensemble members have collected along the way. Experience the joy, connection, and resilience created through this rich cultural tradition, giving us a window into Jewish cultural history and diasporic living traditions.
Dancing will be led by a dance leader; no prior dance experience is necessary to join in this celebratory fun.
