Doors at 7:00 PM - Show at 7:30 PMIn honor of Women’s History Month, Ashkenaz will pay homage to The Women Who Built Ashkenaz, with a night of performances, honoring the many women who have played an integral role in Ashkenaz’s success over the last 50 years. This special event will pay tribute to the female pioneers who have shaped and strengthened our community over the years, specifically those involved in the formative transition of Ashkenaz into the nonprofit that it is today. From music and dance to community building, these women have left a lasting impact on Ashkenaz and beyond.We'll hear from trailblazing musicians, dancers, and community leaders who will share their stories and experiences as the founding members of the board of directors at Ashkenaz and leaders of the huge transition that transpired after the death of our founder, David Nadel. Be inspired by their passion, creativity, and drive as they share what they've learned, and the legacy they've built.We're very excited to also welcome back our good friends True Life Trio! True Life Trio’s music is all about harmony. The fiery voices of these three women spin and interweave, traveling from Ukrainian village tunes, to Greek polyphony to Louisiana two-steps. Bulgaria to the Bayou. On paper, it’s an unlikely combination but in person, it feels just right. Enjoy live music, dance performances, and a special reception to commemorate the evening. Connect with fellow members of the community, and engage in conversation about the role of women in shaping our shared cultural heritage.Come be a part of this historic celebration and honor the women who have made Ashkenaz the vibrant and thriving community it is today!Ticket Prices:S﻿liding Scale at the DoorDonations encouraged &amp; appreciated.
