Michael Winograd and The Honorable Mentshn

featuring Josh 'Socalled' Dolgin

The band—whose name plays on the plural form of the Yiddish “mentsh,” meaning a person of integrity—is the brainchild of Brooklyn clarinet virtuoso Michael Winograd. One of today’s premier klezmer clarinetists, Winograd and band dazzle klezmer audiences worldwide.  Featuring tunes that glide between the past and present, the Mentshn play with virtuosic fervor, skipping from the 1950s Borsht Belt to 2020s nightclubs and back again.  The band will be joined by Canadian Jewish hip-hop superstar Josh “Socalled” Dolgin, last seen at Chutzpah! In 2021.

Chutzpah! Festival music programming is supported by AmplifyBC’s Live Music Presentation Fund.
