"The even better news is that KlezCalYidFest, the organization's first major live and in-person program since the advent of the pandemic, represents a torch-passing transition as a new generation of leadership emerges. With an energetic new director at the helm, 29-year-old accordionist Dmitri Gaskin, KlezCalifornia is embracing the veteran musicians who built the local klezmer scene while showcasing a younger cohort determined to take the tradition into new territory."
"Running Sept. 12-14 at the Finnish Hall in Berkeley, the three-day KlezCalYidFest includes nightly concerts, music and dance workshops, lectures and a general celebration of all things Jewish. The festival will kick off Sept. 12 with a triple bill featuring acclaimed Yiddish singer Anthony Russell accompanied by Gaskin and fiddler Zoe Aqua, whose new album In a Sea of Stars gathers live recordings with Romanian musicians from her Transylvanian Synagogue Tour."
