The Klezmatics & Friends: Celebrating 40 Years of Radical Joy

For four decades, these GRAMMY-winning trailblazers have redefined Yiddish music for new generations, blending deep tradition with fearless creativity and a spirit of joy, resilience, and social change. Join us for a one-night-only celebration featuring special guests, longtime collaborators, and music spanning their remarkable 40-year journey of radical joy with a legacy unlike any other in contemporary roots music.

The evening will feature music from all of The Klezmatics’ fourteen recordings, including their GRAMMY Award-winning album, Wonder Wheel Lyrics by Woody Guthrie, with a special focus on Woody Guthrie’s inspiring texts, and The Klezmatics’ collaborations with Guthrie.

Part concert, part reunion, part celebration, this is a gathering of artists, communities, and voices united by a shared belief in the power of music to connect, inspire, and endure.

Special guests include Janis Ian, Lavender Light Gospel Choir, Susan McKeown, and more!
