It’s the exciting, groundbreaking, fresh sound of klezmer, swing, jazz, classical. . . well, you just have to hear it for yourself!

Two years ago, JMW introduced the world to Schmaltz and Pepper as they exploded onto the music scene. (The event sold out, so not everyone was able to get a ticket.)
One year later, JMW was there to launch the first Schmaltz and Pepper album. (That event also sold out, so not everyone was able to get a ticket.)
They’ve been blazing a trail, setting records, and changing the sound of klezmer and Yiddish swing as we know it. Now, fresh from their first US tour (and Drew’s Grammy win!), they’re back!
This is what happens when phenomenal, world-class musicians come together!

Featuring the extraordinary talents of
Eric Abramovitz, principal clarinetist of the Toronto Symphony;
Grammy-winner, multi-instrumentalist and arranger, Drew Jurecka;
Virtuosic violinist, vocalist and composer, Rebekah Wolkstein, founder and leader of the acclaimed Payadora Tango Ensemble;
JUNO Award-nominated bassist, Michael Herring;
And JUNO Award-winning pianist, Jeremy Ledbetter.

With their combined talents and experience in countless musical genres, these stellar musicians are redefining the traditional boundaries of Jewish music, blending classical mastery with innovative, soulful arrangements. An unforgettable musical experience from a major force in the global music scene!

THIS TIME, DON’T BE LEFT OUT! GET YOUR TICKET BEFORE THEY’RE ALL GONE!
