Les Yeux Noirs

For twelve years, Les Yeux Noirs ("Black Eyes") has been carving its own path down the road of Yiddish and Gypsy music, supported by growing audiences throughout Europe and, now, America. Inspired by different influences, the group invites us to share in moments of intense emotion and indescribable joy, as they weave their magic with extraordinary energy. Both joyous and nostalgic, this nomadic music perfectly reflects the lives of a persecuted people in exile, caught up in a massive Diaspora, with an unshakeable will to live.

Refreshments will be available for purchase on-site from Wheatberry Café. Bring a friend and a chair or blanket, and enjoy an evening under the stars!

This concert is a collaboration with Old Pasadena's Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts as part of the Levitt on the Lawn series. In the spirit of the Levitt, the concerts are free and open to the public. Elizabeth Levitt Hirsch produces these concerts as a way of giving back to the community and increasing awareness of the extensive summer concert series that she has brought to life in Pasadena.
