For over 20 years, Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer have been at the forefront of the international klezmer and Yiddish music scene. They were both long-time members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, one of the premiere groups of the klezmer revival, and have performed with legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman on film and in concert. As the Strauss/Warschauer Duo, they have performed to overwhelming acclaim in such diverse venues as the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Great Britain's Fiddles on Fire, the Jewish Culture Festival in Cracow, Poland, and the Art of Yiddish in Los Angeles with actor and singer Theodore Bikel. They lead some of the most popular klezmer music, Yiddish song and traditional dance workshops throughout North America, Eastern and Western Europe.

Deborah and Jeff have invited community musicians to join in a new Lehigh Valley Klezmer Ensemble.  If you or a friend are interested in joining this new instrumental ensemble, please contact Rabbi Stein.
