Indian and Jewish music collide! Trumpeter Frank London of the Klezmatics joins master percussionist Deep Singh to present a new look at old traditions. The connection between Jewish and Indian culture is a long one, with roots stretching back to biblical times.

Songs will be sung in Yiddish, Punjabi, Hebrew, Hindi, and English.
