Violins of Hope Artists Return to C-U!
Those of you who saw Jake Shulman-Ment, Abigale Reisman, and Kurt Bjorling perform at CUJF’s closing Violins of Hope concert on June 1, 2023 will be thrilled to know that the trio is returning to town on Thursday, March 20, 7:30pm at the Rose Bowl Tavern in downtown Urbana. No cover, as Mitch and Frances Harris are sponsoring the visit in celebration of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, but the tip buckets will be available. All ages welcome! Celebrate with us!
Violinists Jake Shulman-Ment and Abigale Reisman, and multi-instrumentalist Kurt Bjorling are each among the most highly regarded klezmer performers of their generation. They combine forces to present a virtuosic and energetic journey through raucous dance tunes, meditative listening music, original compositions, and new settings of Yiddish poetry. Billed for this performances as “Two Strings,” the Facebook event can be found here: https://www.facebook.
