Thank you to EVANSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY for hosting our performance on Sunday, September 18, 2005. The concert was a rousing success, and we hope to play for them again soon.


Thank you from the band to Gail Mangurten, Alex Koffman, Yuri Bokov, Shelley Yeolin, Justin Kramer, and Bob Applebaum (all of Maxwell St. Klezmer Band) for accompanying us at recent performances!


In Memoriam: The band is mourning the loss of its primary benefactor, Senator Bernard Neistein. Senator Neistein loved the art of klezmer, and was committed to the mission of the Klezmer Music Foundation. He enjoyed a full, rich life, and his loss will be felt by many. May his memory be for a blessing.
