An hour-long cassette of selections from the March 18 1995 Celtic Klezmer concert was recorded as a fund raiser for Project Hope.

This is an unusually high-quality stereo recording of the live concert, featuring the Fabrangen Fiddlers, Klezmos, three Celtic musicians of international reputations (Zan McLeod, Billy McComiskey, and Bonnie Rideout), and other performances. We are excited about the musical content and recording quality of this unique cassette (not available as a CD).
