Payson Park Music Festival Kicks Off With 'A Bisl Klezmer Muzik'

Belmont's summer tradition, the Payson Park Music Festival will be kicking off its 24th season on Wednesday, June 12, at 6:45 p.m. with traditional Yiddish music of di bostoner klezmer.  

di bostoner klezmer 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, Israel.

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