Midwood x Nakshatra Concert: Klezmer Meets Indian Classical! at Museum at Eldridge Street
Join the Museum at Eldridge Street on Sunday, April 19th at 3pm in welcoming Jake Shulman-Ment and his Yiddish folk band, Midwood, in collaboration with Nakshatra, an Indian Carnatic violin duo, featuring Trina Basu and Arun Ramamurthy.

Explore the links and differences between traditional Ashkenazi and Indian classical styles for a performance that can only be found in New York City. In addition to similarities in scales and ornamentation, both styles have fundamental roots in spiritual or prayerful music that will resound throughout our historic 1887 Main Sanctuary.

Join Midwood and Nakshatra as they come together to create a bath of lush transcontinental sounds.

Midwood: Jake Shulman-Ment (violin, vocals); Eleonore Weill (vocals, flutes, accordion, hurdy gurdy); Yoshie Fruchter (guitar, oud); Richie Barshay (drums) Nakshatra: Trina Basu and Arun Ramamurthy (violins)
