Montreal Gazette Dept: It was approaching 5 p.m. and I'd set off to the hardware store for a last-minute item, according to Montreal Gazette. Sitting in the semi-circles of chairs arranged at the foot of the open stage, waves of life rippled through the park. First: the voices of the Quebec City band La tourelle orkestra trumpet, guitars, clarinet, sounds in French, Spanish, Yiddish and English, all to a klezmer beat . Then: the people, from the toddling young dancer crossing back and forth in front of the rounded stage to her mother's consternation to a good number of white heads, some tapping, some swaying and i had one of those Montreal moments last Sunday. Turning onto St. Dominique St., from Rachel St., my eye was drawn to the tents of some festival in the corner park. I made a note to look in on my way back. By that time, klezmer music was emanating from Le Parc des Ameriques and the call to sit down for a moment at this free concert in the Montreal Jewish Music Festival was louder than the call to finish painting my balcony. As
reported in the news.
