Zoyres Fermented Veggie Festival

Thu, Nov 3
9:00pm-12:00am
$5

David Kaye presents the incredibly delicious brass band Zoyres in an
evening of Balkan and klezmer music -- and sauerkraut!

The name "Zoyres" derives from the Yiddish term for fermented
vegetables, "zoyers." These foods have been transformed by culture
and community (of the microbial sort) through incredible biochemical
fermentation processes. These "cultural" transformations underlie our
own cultural development, as human cultures have relied and reveled
in fermented foods for millennia.

Zoyres' music represents the geo-social analogue to the biochemical
ferment. Our music, of Eastern European origin, brined in the
contemporary cultural milieu, is akin to the pickle, still evident in
its cucumber origin, but with a taste and texture transformed.

The performance will incorporate actual fermented food (sauerkraut !)
consumption with music, drawing on the "cultures" that transform and
create the music we play, as well as the food we consume. This should
be an edifying, empowering, enjoyable, and epicurean demonstration of
the do-it-yourself possibilities of food preparation.

"Zoyres, a new taste from old world flavors."

In the 90s it was homemade beer. Today it's homemade sauerkraut!
