WHEELING -- The Ohio County Public Library's next Lunch With Books program will feature a celebration of Hanukkah with music.
The program will take place at noon on Tuesday, Dec. 5, at the library in downtown Wheeling.
KleZlectic will perform klezmer music in a concert for Chanukah!
Pittsburgh based KleZlectic features clarinetist Janice Coppola; multi-instrumentalist Jeff Berman; pianist Laura Riesberg Daniels; bassist and trombonist Mark Perna; and tuba player Roger Day. Klezmer music is an instrumental tradition that originated with the Ashkenazi Jews in central and Eastern Europe.
The term klezmer comes from Yiddish and is a shortened version of the Hebrew words for instrument (kley) and song (zemer).
