The dynamic Strauss/Warschauer Duo offers a panoramic experience of Eastern European Jewish music, song and culture through virtuoso, accessible, interactive concert performances and grass roots educational programs.

Strauss and Warschauer's performances are an integrated and intimate blend of songs, translations and instrumental music ­ grounded in tradition, yet thoroughly contemporary. They draw from klezmer, Yiddish, Hasidic and liturgical music and culture, adding their own original compositions and song settings.

As they sing and play in shifting combinations of violin, guitar, mandolin and accordion, they create a dynamic atmosphere with an exceptional range of feeling ­ from delicate and refined to exuberant and foot-stomping.
