Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets: $25 at the door, Cash (preferable) or Venmo.
Washington Ethical Society 7750 16th Street NW, Washington DC
Baymele’s debut instrumental album embodies the idea of new growth from old roots. It’s a celebration of diasporic Jewish folk music, Polish folk music, and the band’s attempts to blend the two styles. The concert will feature selections from Sapling alongside other klezmer and Eastern European folk tunes.
Founded in 2018, Baymele — “little tree” in Yiddish — is a klezmer and Eastern European folk trio rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area on unceded Ohlone land. Avid ethnographic researchers, they perform newly rediscovered gems from Ashkenazi Jewish, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Hungarian folk music traditions, alongside original compositions.
