Please welcome Walt Mahovlich (clarinet), frequently here in the Boston area and a
regular at Balkan Night. Steven Greenman (violin) was featured at the Lowell folk
festival last year with his band, Stempenyu’s Dream. Together, they are on fire.
They also comprise two fifths of the great Cleveland Eastern European music band,
Harmonia; and are original members of the international Klezmer band, Budowitz.
Having them appear and perform together is a Boston-area first. Let’s make them feel
welcome. And do come to enjoy some amazing music.
