Sonoma County's Jubilee Klezmer Ensemble presents a benefit concert and dance for Doctors Without Borders on Sunday, Sept 23 from 3:30-6 pm at the First Presbyterian Church at 939 B St. in Petaluma.

Jubilee Klezmer Ensemble will feature dance and klezmer music from Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Israel, Yemen, the Ukraine, Roumania, Moldava, and more! Larry Kass will enchant with beautiful Sephardic love songs and lullabies.

Many generous local vendors are supporting the event, including Della Fattoria (think amazing, freshly baked pastries!), J.M. Rosen (think to-die-for cheesecake!), Taylor Lane (formerly Taylor Maid) Organic Coffee, Petaluma Market, Sprouts Market, Trader Joe, and Safeway!

Ticket price includes food and (non-alcoholic) beverages!
