Steve Jones will be sharing a message at Richvale Bible Chapel on Sunday, May 17th. Service time is 10am.

Schmaltz & Pepper is a uniquely virtuosic and entertaining chamber ensemble performing original music inspired by Klezmer, Yiddish Swing, Jazz and Classical music. This groundbreaking ensemble features the extraordinary talents of Eric Abramovitz, the principal clarinetist of the Toronto Symphony and the Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and arranger, Drew Jurecka, virtuosic violinist/vocalist/composer, Rebekah Wolkstein, founder/leader of the acclaimed Payadora Ensemble, Juno-nominated bassist, Michael Herring and Juno-award winning pianist, Jeremy Ledbetter. This ensemble is redefining the traditional boundaries of Yiddish music, blending classical mastery with innovative compositions and soulful arrangements.
This band has an exhilarating trajectory. A mere 6 months after Abramovitz and Wolkstein came up with the idea to form a band, they had a full show of original music and inventive arrangements. Their debut performance was a live-to-air broadcast with a studio audience at Zoomer Hall in Toronto for Classical 96.3FM in May 2024. Since then, they have sold out shows at Ashkenaz, the Toronto Summer Music Festival, and Jewish Music Week in Toronto, and are headlining the ‘Put a Yid on it’ festival in Winnipeg. They are performing at many of the top chamber music festivals in Canada in 2025: Toronto Summer Music, Ottawa Chamberfest, Stratford Summer Music, Elora Music Festival, and Tuckamore Festival in Newfoundland, among others!
This is the opening of concert of Guelph Musicfest’s 20th Anniversary Season!

Cost: $20 to $55 single & series tickets available
