M’CHAIYA

HOUSE CONCERTS

Small space and lawn concerts +

Were ready to be a mchaiya* for you!

Tired of the cost of going out or a music venues late-night schedule? Bring the music to you and your friends! All you need is a lawn or a large room and your friends. Add on a pot-luck dinner for an intimate, enchanting, acoustic night of world music fun.

To make sure folks connect with the powerful roots music, the band teaches and leads circle and lines dances when circumstances allow it. The audience is encouraged to drum along on percussion as well as sing along. The entire family, from toddlers to seniors, gets to join in the very accessible fun!

* In Yiddish, “m’chaiya” means “A life-giving pleasure”

Band size can range from a powerful duet or trio up to a slamming six-piece band that will rock any crowd and take their soul (and soles), on an exciting tour of Jewish music.

Still life of some of the instruments played.
Some of the instruments played: Mandolin, Guitar, Darabuka, Tupan, and Kaval.

Unique sound

Most of our musicians are multi-instrumentalists, a fact which allows the band to create an ever changing color, but whatever the sound, every number grabs your attention, gets your feet tapping, urging you to dance.

Flexible and affordable

We are happy to customize our programs to fit your interests and to adjust the bands size to your budget and needs.
