Ms. Stahl returns to the Modlin Center where she has performed frequently with the very popular Klezmer Conservatory Band. This concert replaces a performance by Kol Simcha, which cancelled their U.S. tour. Cousins Studio Theatre Waiting for Godot seamlessly blends laughter and tears, hope and despair, poetry and pratfalls, anger and resignation into one of the most enduring and compelling commentaries on the human condition ever written. Waiting for Godot is the story of Vladimir and Estragon, two tramps waiting for a long-standing appointment with the enigmatic Mr. Godot who they hope can answer their most personal questions about existence and tell them why they should continue on with their seemingly meaningless lives. The humorous bickering, games, quarrels and stories that fill their waiting time are interrupted by the arrival of the brutal Pozzo and his slave Lucky.
Time passes and life goes on.
Beckett's genius is the way in which he uses poetry, humor, pathos and tragedy to address these essential questions of life.

Ms. Korb is making a splash in the jazz world, and with every concert she creates an exciting bass and vocal performance. Boston Camerata has been fascinating and charming audiences around the world for almost four decades.
