Dear Friends,
Happy Holidays to all!
There's just a little bit of December left, but just a couple important announcements here.
First, I am happy to invite you to see the wonderful klezmer musical 'Shlemiel the First' where I am playing. It was created by a team of notable creators, Robert Brustein, Arnold Weinstein, Hankus Netsky, Zalmen Mlotek, and Director David Gordon, over 15 years ago and successfully toured the US. Now it's being revived back in New York – at NYU's Skirball Center for Performing Arts. Shlemiel the First, based on the Chelm stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer, will be playing through December 31. You just gotta see it!
Choose your date and time at Skirball Center's dedicated web-page
and get a discount at ticket purchase at TheaterMania, using the discount code provided (TM49)
Second, my band, Litvakus, has just recorded an EP, featuring the wonderful Daniella Rabbani on one of the 5 tracks. It will be out soon, in early January. But you can preorder your copy at $10 + shipping already today. Just let me know.
Again, wishing you a freylekhe Hanuke, happy Holidays and New Year 2012!
Warmly,
Dmitri 'Zisl' Slepovitch
