UPCOMING EVENTS
Violins of Hope
We are honored to be part of the Violins of Hope project, in which about 50 violins which were played by musicians in concentration camps during the Holocaust have been lovingly restored. Violinists (and sometimes fiddlers!) play these instruments in a big series of events; this has taken place in cities all over the US and is coming to the Bay Area this winter. Suzy will be performing on a violin once owned and played by a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp, now repaired and repurposed as an instrument of peace, social justice and hope. Here’s a link to where you can read more about Violins of Hope in the Bay Area: https://violinsofhopesfba.org

Mardi Gras Dance
Tues. Feb. 25 at Ashkenaz, 1317 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley — dance lesson at 8, join the parade at 8:30 followed by a long set of Cajun and Creole dance music from the Aux Cajunals. At around 10, the Tri Tip Trio will play another long set of Zydeco and R&B, and some of the Aux Cajunals will be joining them. For this special Mardi Gras dance, we’ll feature the expanded Aux Cajunals: Suzy, Eric, Agi and Allegra will be joined by Karen Celia Heil on fiddle and John Hanes on drums. Teaming up with the Tri Tip Trio for a Mardi Gras dance has become an annual tradition — we’ll be wearing our Cajun Mardi Gras costumes, complete with “capuchon” (pointy hat) and we’ll bring some extras for other folks to dress up in. Costumes, masks, beads, etc. are optional but encouraged — or just wear your brightest, most sparkly clothes! Ashkenaz is always all ages. Free parking across the street in the REI lot. http://www.ashkenaz.com/eventcalendar/2020/2/25/mardi-gras-party-with-aux-cajunals-and-tri-tip-trio |
