Victoria's Blue Klezmer Moon bring their joyous creativity to the musical wedding of swing and klezmer. And what a wedding it is! The bride's people are from Transylvania, the Alps, the Rockies and the Steppes, and the groom's people are from Chicago, Paris and Buenos Aires - and they are dancing in the moonlight on a big cedar island.

The name says it all: klezmer in the middle, jazz at one end and, at the other, the moon.
