Presenters say.... | ||||
"As co-director of the Jewish Music Festival in Berkeley, CA, I would like to heartily recommend the Strauss/Warschauer Duo to anybody who still doesn't know that they weave magic at their klezmer workshops. I had the opportunity to observe their workshops with groups ranging from the Berkeley High School orchestra to Jewish day schools. Deborah and Jeff have a great way with kids, capturing the attention even of squirming 7th graders. They play well off each other, are incredibly well organized, and provide a wonderful entree into klezmer, Yiddish, and even Jews, for that matter, to all ages and cultures. They are truly pied pipers and anybody in a position to get them into schools, community centers, or anywhere else would be doing a great service." | ||||

"I had the privilege and extraordinary joy of watching Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer conduct a klezmer workshop with a chamber orchestra at a Jewish high school here in Los Angeles. If you are affiliated with any schools—Jewish day, high or Sunday schools or with music in public schools—immediately start organizing bake sales and raising money to bring Jeff and Deborah out to work with your kids." | ||

"Deborah Strauss and Jeff Warschauer have just given some of the most successful klezmer, Yiddish song and Yiddish dance workshops that we have ever presented in the UK. Their bubbly personalities and clear communication, backed up by their extensive knowledge and understanding of the genre, have engaged the students from the word go. Whether professional or amateur musicians in Nottingham, Exeter, Manchester, Cambridge, and London or pupils at the Yehudi Menuhin School—they have all been inspired as well as amazed at their achievements in such a short time. We all look forward to the next sessions with Deborah and Jeff." | ||
