San Diego Repertory Theatre (San Diego REP) announced today the details of the 19th annual Klezmer Summit, this year entitled "Jews, Jazz, and Justice." The concert, performed by Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival favorites Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi, will be streamed live on Thursday, NOVEMBER 19 at 7 p.m.
This year's performance will also feature two special guests: 6-time Emmy and Tony Award nominee Tovah Feldshuh honoring the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and 2020 San Diego Music Awards Artist of the Year Rebecca Jade. Tickets start at $18 and are available now at sdrep.org.
"Our yearly world music celebration always brings so much uplift and good feeling," says Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival founder and San Diego REP Associate Artistic Director Todd Salovey. "NOVEMBER 19th seems the perfect time for a big klezmer boost! The all-star line-up makes it even more special."
"Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Tovah Feldshuh are two of our country's greatest Jewish female role models. RBG of course has inspired young women to fight for their beliefs, while Tovah inspires us all to reimagine Jewish female characters with nuance and depth," says Festival Associate Producer Ali Viterbi. "This year's Klezmer Summit will celebrate the strength of Jewish women striving to build a more just world."
The Jewish Arts Festival's annual concert brings together local and national stars for a musical celebration that looks back and looks ahead. The crowd-favorite Klezmer Summit returns with a musical tour around the world celebrating klezmer, Yiddish, jazz, world music and songs of social justice. Joining Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi will be San Diego's very own jazz vocalist Rebecca Jade, the 2020 San Diego Music Awards Artist of the Year, and 6-time Emmy and Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh. The selections will range from intimate jazz standards to Yiddish songs about women, songs about justice to klezmer and Roma instrumentals that are spiced with wild improvisation. Hot Pstromi includes Strom, vocalist Elizabeth Schwartz, bassist Gunnar Biggs, guitarist Fred Benedetti, percussionist Kevin Koch, and flutist and saxophone player Tripp Sprague.
Tickets for the 19th Annual Klezmer Summit are on sale starting at $18. For $36, audiences can purchase a Sponsor Ticket and receive access to the live streamed concert as well as a director's cut DVD of Strom's documentary, The Last Klezmer: Leopold Kozlowski, His Life and Music.
