Grand Klezmer Concert

Click here to purchase tickets

United Jewish Generations (UJG) presents a Grand Klezmer Concert featuring authentic Klezmer music. Michael Winograd and the Honorable Mentshn Klezmer Band will thrill the audience with some of the most unique musical masterpieces that were very popular in the first half of the 20th century. Unfortunately, much of Klezmer music has been modified in order to merge with current popular music genres. However UJG has searched far and wide to bring pure, genuine Klezmer music in order to bring back the wonderful memories of wedding music from 50 plus years ago. Anyone that comes will be absolutely ecstatic when they hear this wonderful concert and especially seniors.

“We are not going to settle with mediocrity, we provide the best for the most precious members of society, namely the senior population” says Rabbi Menachem Smith, president of United Jewish Generations.

The performance will take place at the North Miami Beach Julius Littman Performing Arts Theatre on Sunday, February 10, 2019 at 2PM. Tickets are priced from $10 and up. Click here to purchase tickets or visit the following stores; Torah Treasures in Miami Beach, Solutions Pharmacy in Sunny Isles and Aspaclaria Judaica in Aventura. (Aspaclaria ticket sales are from 10 AM – 1 PM only.)

The Honorable Mentshn Band is led by Virtuoso Klezmer clarinetist Michael Winograd who has performed and taught Klezmer music internationally, and is recognized as one of today's premier performers of Klezmer music. He is a co-founder of the Yiddish New York festival and the artistic director of KlezKanada, two of today's central hubs for Klezmer music and folk arts. The Honorable Mentshn Klezmer Band is truly a stellar group of musicians. There will also be an opening performance by the highly acclaimed Jaime Bronsztein Klezmer Band.

This show has been made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, the Board of County Commissioners and many other anonymous donors.

This show is a project of United Jewish Generations, a Chabad organization started 15 years ago by Rabbi Menachem Smith. Their mission is to bring happiness and enjoyment to the Jewish senior citizen population. Attendees are encouraged to buy tickets early, to attain the best seats and also keep in mind that this event has sold out in the past! For more info call (305) 770-4540 or email [email protected].
