The lively spirit of traditional Klezmer will tickle your heart, lift your spirits, and carry you back to a time gone by!
1:15 Resa’s Pieces Concert Band is now completing its 14th season and has become a recognized fixture on the Toronto music scene. Led by the talented Resa Kochberg, it is the largest community concert band in Toronto with over 50 members ranging in age from twenty to ninety. Resa’s Pieces play flutes, clarinets, bassoons, saxes, trumpets, French horns, trombones, tubas and percussion.

2:30 Varsity Jews, University of Toronto’s ever-popular Jewish a cappella choir, is guaran- teed to make you smile with their lively and humour-filled performance. They’ll be sharing a wide variety of music, from traditional Hebrew folk to parodies and classic rock with an added Jewish flavor. Their terrific sound and infectious enthusiasm will have you feeling great for the rest of the day!
