Nationally recognized for their traditional playing, they are also known for their pioneering crossover projects: Klezmer Nutcracker, Maurice Sendak's Pincus, and The Golden Dreydl (with Ellen Kushner). They have performed with the Philadelphia Pops Orchestra, at the Montreal Jazz Festival and at Lincoln Center!

Halloween Haunted House
Looking for some extra fun this Halloween season? The Winchester Unitarian Society is thrilled to be hosting a Haunted House for all ages this year on Friday, October 31st and November 1st from 6:00-9:00pm.
The church's old stone and brick building will be transformed into Dr. Feverdream's Sleep Experiment, an immersive experience featuring two unique paths. Younger guests -- and anyone who prefers a milder adventure -- are invited to explore the whimsical Dream Space, visiting an alien planet, while patients (suggested for ages 12 and up) are invited to brave the thrilling Nightmare Lair.
