What is "Celtic Klezmer"?  Well, imagine if the Kellys and the Cohens were to put on a block party!  Although the idea may seem strange, nothing could be more American.  According to Irish musician and folklorist Mick Maloney (who recently released a CD entitled "If it Wasn't for the Irish and the Jews"  "These were two groups who not only came to America to build a better life, but really felt they had no homeland to go back to," said Moloney. The Irish and the Jews, said Moloney, were often possessed of both an artistic talent and an entrepreneurial spirit. That, and the ferment of turn-of-the-century New York City, created the conditions for their long collaboration."

This event is a fund raiser for Congregation Or Ami.    More details to come !
