Temple Israel Alameda Chamber music Concerts continues on November 13, 2002 with Stuart Brotman and Joshua Horowitz playing “The Klezmer Music of a Traditional Shtetl Wedding.” The concert begins at 8:00 p.m. and is the second in the Temple’s Wednesday Chamber Concert Series. The musical selections are derived from forgotten music of the East European traditional wedding music as it sounded on a wedding day, played on a Tsimbl (hammer dulcimer) and button accordion. This mesmerizing performance has won over audiences worldwide. Brotman and Horowitz are recognized as two of the seminal figures in the Klezmer revival, and this concert is a once-only event. The audience will be transported through the music to a traditional East European wedding. They will hear music for the escorting of the family to the veiling of the bride, the march of the families from the ceremony to the banquet, the greeting of the guests, the ritual dance of the bride, and a lusty dance to move the guests home.
