Get ready for a performance that shatters expectations and redefines tradition. The groundbreaking ensemble Schmaltz & Pepper brings together five of Canada’s most electrifying musicians. Together, they are boldly reinventing Yiddish music—infusing it with classical brilliance, soulful innovation, and a fearless spirit of collaboration.

What began as a spark between Abramovitz and Wolkstein has ignited into a musical force. Within six months, the group had created a full concert program of original compositions and fresh, genre-defying arrangements. Their debut? A live-to-air broadcast from Toronto’s Zoomer Hall on Classical 96.3FM in May 2024—an unforgettable launch that left audiences breathless.

This isn’t just a concert. It’s a cultural evolution. Experience this exhilarating ensemble live, where tradition meets cutting edge.
