On October 12, 2007, over one hundred klezmer musicians and Yiddish 
singers gathered on the steps of New York City' Eldridge Street synagogue 
for a once-in-a-lifetime photo shoot.  Brought from around the world, 
these musicians represent the most influential klezmer artists of the 
revival and in the world today.  This significant event was noted for its 
participants (ranging from Theo Bikel to John Zorn) and was followed by 
one of the longest klezmer marches ever, when these musicians took to the 
streets of the Lower East Side for a parade and impromptu outdoor concert. 
As they marched, onlookers began to follow along curious to see what this 
celebration was all about. It was Yiddish street theatre at its best!



Over the next two evenings, the participants performed formally at City 
University~@~Ys Martin E. Segal Theatre and Symphony Space.  A GREAT DAY 
ON ELDRIDGE STREET portrays all of these events.  This film not only 
chronicles this extraordinary weekend, but celebrates the revival of 
klezmer music and Yiddish song that has now become one of the main 
soundtracks for Jewish culture throughout the world today with humor, 
pathos~@ and of course, great music.
