Yidstock 2014 Slated for July 17-20 in Amherst
AMHERST — Boasting an array of films, concerts, lectures, and workshops, Yidstock 2014: The Festival of New Yiddish Music is set to land in Amherst for four days. The third annual festival will bring the best in klezmer and new Yiddish music to the stage at the Yiddish Book Center at Hampshire College.
The $185 festival pass ($145 for Yiddish Book Center members) includes admission to all concerts, lectures, and workshops. The weekend will offer an intriguing glimpse into Jewish roots and jazzy soul music through popular Yiddish bands like the Klezmer Conservatory Band, Klezmatics, Frank London’s Klezmer Brass All-Stars, and more. Friday and Saturday feature dance workshops as well. In addition to the festival-pass option, tickets may be purchased for individual events.
