Eclectic klezmer and jazz concert coming to University Hospital

Dave Gitterman (piano) and Ralph Katz (clarinet) both began music lessons as young children and have kept playing music into retirement.

Take decades of performing with community choirs, bands and orchestras, and add klezmer, contra dance tunes and jazz standards, and you’ll see how these two are hard to categorize.

Both retired software engineers, they have been playing as a duo for 10 years. On Thursday, they will offer a free concert to faculty, staff, patients and families at Michigan Medicine.

Look for livestream video on the Gifts of Art Facebook page.
