Featuring

Ira Temple and Michael Winograd

Ira Temple and Michael Winograd are staples of NYC’s vibrant Klezmer and Yiddish music
community and cultural tapestry. Together they have played concerts, festivals, weddings and
coming of age celebrations, and are both current members of the cast and orchestra of Cabaret
at the Kit Kat Club on Broadway.

Accordionist and Songwriter Ira Temple founded the radical Yiddish music group Tsibele, is the
longtime director for the Aftselakhis Spectacle Committee Purimshpil, and performed in New
York’s activist street band The Rude Mechanical Orchestra. “Strange Tongue - Mistame-Loshn,”
their newest solo album, comes out this October on Borscht Beat Records. and features a
collection of traditional Yiddish songs, reimagined and expanded in English - marrying queer,
trans songwriting with the urgent, living breath of Yiddish culture as it is vibrantly practiced today
in Brooklyn.

Clarinetist Michael Winograd lives in Brooklyn. His band, The Honorable Metnshn, has brought
Klezmer and Yiddish music all over the world. He has performed and collaborated with today’s
leading figures in Jewish music including Yitzak Perlman, Frank London, the Klezmatics, the
Klezmer Conservatory Band and more. Michael is featured on dozens of recordings, including
The Beautiful Game and Live at Madison Square Garden with Vulfpeck. His original music has
appeared in television, film, theater and dance performances. His upcoming release, TANZ!
Live in New York City, presents a re-creation of the iconic 1956 klezmer album TANZ!, featuring
clarinetists Dave Tarras and Sam Musiker.
