The Fabulous Shpielkes at Temple Sholom

May 18th following the 8 PM Shabbat Services at Temple Sholom The Fabulous Shpielkes, an internationally-renown, award-winning Klezmer music group, will perform their unique and upbeat style of Jewish music at Temple Sholom in Broomall.  

Featuring the mother and daughter team of Elaine Hoffman Watts and Susan Watts, The Fabulous Shpielkes play to rave reviews at every performance. Klezmer music (essentially Jewish "folk music" from Eastern Europe) has been enjoying a revival since the 1970s, in large part because of the popularity of The Fabulous Shpielkes.  

Elaine Hoffman Watts, who also teaches percussion, has received countless awards during her distinguished career, including the 2007 National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Fellowship Award. Her grandfather, Joseph Hoffman, played cornet in the Russian army, and her father, percussionist and xylophone player Jacob Hoffman, played in the Philadelphia Orchestra, and traveled with Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.              

Susan Watts, who travels the world demonstrating her inimitable style of Klezmer trumpet, has performed at Carnegie Hall, and always leaves the crowd laughing and dancing in the aisles.
