Purim Party with Live Music and
Yiddish Dancing!
Join the Carnegie Shpil Company (CMU's klezmer band) in celebrating this joyful holiday. This fun-filled evening will include great klezmer music featuring the band, to accompany dancing led by Steve Weintraub, an internationally renowned instructor of Yiddish dance. This event will be open to everyone in the community to enjoy music, dancing, and food. Please bring friends!
With the help of our coach,
Susanne Ortner-Roberts (who will be performing with us!), the Carnegie Shpil
Company, joined by an eclectic group of students from Pitt's Carpathian
Ensemble, has compiled a repertoire designed to keep you dancing and we
couldn't be more excited to share our work with you. Co-sponsored by the
J'Burgh Yiddish Club.
