Description: 

BYO-Picnic Indoor Winter Concert Series begins with Bivolita Chamber Klezmer Orchestra. Guests are invited to bring a picnic and a blanket, and enjoy the sounds of this New Haven-based band, featuring musicians Gretchen Frazer, Brian Slattery and Christina Crowder. Guests may also enjoy a tasting of scrumptious soup by the new Westville-based Sopa New Haven. The event is free and open to all. Families welcome! About the Band: Bivolița (bee-vo-lee-tsa) draws its repertoire from the early European sources of Jewish wedding music but finds contemporary interpretations that draw on the diverse musical experiences of its members. We are grounded in a democratic, chamber music approach to performance, and our dance tunes move between the drive of an Appalachian hoedown and the stately exuberance of a renaissance dance.

Founded by Eric Rey and Alejandro Pabon-Rey. This event is sponsored by ArtEcon Initiative and made possible with support from NewAlliance Foundation, and the Department of Economic and Community Development, CT Office of the Arts, which also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
