The musicians of Slavic Soul Party!, led by Matt Moran, forge virtuosic new brass band music, melding Balkan, Gypsy, Mexican, and Asian immigrant backgrounds with American jazz and soul.
One of the hardest working bands in New York City, the Brooklyn-based Slavic Soul Party! plays nearly 100 times a year in the US, Europe, and beyond. They have performed at Babylon (Istanbul) with the Karandila Orkestar, at Irving Plaza (New York City) with Gogol Bordello, on the Warped Tour (U.S.), and in virtually every major New York club. The band's fifth CD, Taketron, is on the Barbes Records label, and was released in 2009.

The 2011 SummerNights concert series has been funded by a generous endowment from the William Petschek Family.

Public Programs at The Jewish Museum are supported, in part, by public funds from by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State's 62 counties. The stage lighting has been funded by the Office of Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer. The audio-visual system has been funded by New York Assembly Member Jonathan Bing.
