On Wednesday, May 17, the group, Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi: With A Little Horseradish On the Side will be joining us in the U.P.! Yale Strom (violin) is one of the world’s leading ethnographer-artists of klezmer and Romani music. He has done extensive ethnographic research in Eastern Europe. His findings were instrumental in forming the repertoire of his klezmer band, “Hot Pstromi,” based in New York and San Diego. Since organizing his band in 1981, he has composed original New Jewish music that combines klezmer with Khasidic melodies, as well as Romani, jazz, classical, Bluegrass, Balkan, Arabic, and Sephardic motifs. Strom’s compositions range from several quartets to a full symphony.
