Kugelplex - the West Coast's rockin'-est purveyors of old-world soul music - is cooking up a Sunday brunch concert extravaganza! Nosh on bagels and other delights while grooving to Klezmer and the shimmy-tastic belly dance stylings of the Shtel Shakers - featuring Elizabeth Strong.
Join us at Salle Piano & Events, the most beautiful, small venue in the Bay Area. Salle is a showroom for vintage collectible pianos and it's also the perfect room for deep listening of chamber music - with plenty of space to push away your chairs and dance.
The concert will feature original music by Dan Cantrell played on one of Salle's remarkable pianos.
Eat! Dance! Buy a piano! Celebrate your Sunday!
