An Artist-in-Residence Weekend at Temple Beth-El will feature Tsvey Brider, or Two Brothers, who will present a weekend of diverse Jewish music April 21-23 at Temple Beth-El.
Tsvey Brider members (above) Anthony Russell and Dmitri Gaskin’s works include combinations of African American spirituals, the music of Jewish Eastern Europe and tunes from the vibrant world of Yiddish culture, according to their website, tsveybrider.com. This led the duo to write, arrange and perform in a diverse array of styles and genres, including contemporary classical, cabaret, blues and pop.
All events are at Temple Beth-El. Registration is required for the concert and the workshop. While the workshop is free, tickets must be purchased for the reception and concert. To register and buy tickets, go to meetyouatbethel.shulcloud.com/form/tsvey-brider.
