The free show is open to the public and is part of the Daniel Pearl World Music Days concert series that honors the memory of the journalist slain by al-Qaida in 2002.

Klezmer is a musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe, often played at joyous occasions and usually accompanied by dancing. Making use of such instruments as the clarinet, fiddle and accordion, klezmer infuses centuries-old Jewish music with the sounds of Eastern European folk music, Roma (gypsy) music and early jazz.

No tickets are required, but to reserve a seat, call Fairfield University’s Carl and Dorothy Bennett Center for Judaic Studies at 203-254-4000, ext. 2066.
