A Schmear of Klezmer at the Payson Park Music Festival Thursday

A rescheduling of a rain out last month.

It was a bit rainy back on June 12 so the Payson Park Music Festival rescheduled the concert by di bostoner klezmer to today, Thursday, July 18 at 6:45 p.m. 

The trio consists of clarinetist (and Beech Street Center coordinator) Dena Ressler, World Champion accordionist Cory Pesaturo and drummer Richie Davis playing spirited eastern-European Jewish klezmer music that will transport the audience from weddings in 18th-century Poland to 1930s Philly, and to pre-war cabarets and the yearly bonfires at Mt. Meron in Israel.

The concert is free at Payson Park located a few blocks off Belmont Street. It is also accessible by the #73 (Waverly Square) bus from Harvard Station.
