Aventura Arts & Cultural Center Presents Schmaltz & Pepper in a Classy Klezmer Afternoon

The City of Aventura presents an afternoon filled with classy klezmer featuring chamber music and jazz infused with schmaltz when Schmaltz & Pepper takes the stage at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Sunday, January 4 at 2 p.m. This uniquely virtuosic and entertaining chamber ensemble performs original music inspired by Klezmer, Yiddish Swing, jazz and classical traditions.

The groundbreaking ensemble showcases the extraordinary talents of Eric Abramovitz, principal clarinetist of the Toronto Symphony and a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and arranger; Drew Jurecka, virtuosic violinist, vocalist and composer; Rebekah Wolkstein, founder and leader of the acclaimed Payadora Ensemble; Juno-nominated bassist Michael Herring; and Juno Award-winning pianist Jeremy Ledbetter. Together, they redefine the traditional boundaries of Yiddish music, blending classical mastery with innovative compositions and soulful arrangements.
