Join KlezKanada for an evening of Umru / Unrest, with Daniel Kahn, Christian Dawid, and Jake Shulman-Ment
“UMRU / unrest” is the newest, boldest, and most mature record from acclaimed Detroit-born, Hamburg-based songwriter and Yiddish troubadour Daniel Kahn, New York’s premier fiddlemaster Jake Shulman-Ment, and Berlin’s multi-instrumental klezmer MVP Christian Dawid. These songs— original and ancient, translated and recomposed— embody Radical Yiddish Autonomy: a robust Diaspora tearing down flags, subverting borders, lamenting oppression, and rejoicing in freedom.
Presented in association with Ashkenaz Festival, and with the support of Canada Council for the Arts.
Doors: 7:30 PM // Show: 8:00 PM
Tickets $15-$25 sliding scale
