Hershey Felder Presents w/ Tova Feldshuh

Discover Venice’s centuries-old Jewish history and celebrate the sumptuous music and food in this vivid, colorful travelogue. The multi­talented performer Hershey Felder voyages to the fabled City of Canals to uncover the rich, often overlooked past during which Jews long endured a complex relationship within Venetian society. Joining him are theater stars Tovah Feldshuh and Eleanor Reissa, Israeli cellist Amit Peled, and the spirited ensemble Klezmerata Fiorentina. Traversing Venice’s baroque beauty by foot and gondola, this global group of friends, artists and historians share personal stories, sing and play music, and dine together, a splendid reflection on Jewish identity and art, and a feast for the eyes, ears and soul.
