DON'T MISS THE KLEZMATICS AT THE LYCEUM IN BENEFIT FOR DEVELOP DON'T DESTROY
On Thursday, November 8th, the world-renowned Grammy-winning band The Klezmatics take to the stage of the Brooklyn Lyceum to play a special one-night-only benefit concert for Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn.
All proceeds from the concert will support both the community lawsuit challenging New York State's approval of Forest City Ratner's "Atlantic Yards" project, and the lawsuit in federal court seeking to stop the seizure of property via eminent domain for the controversial arena and high-rise development. DDDB is funding the two lawsuits entirely through grassroots donations and fundraising events; a victory in either suit would stop the "Atlantic Yards" project from moving forward.
The Klezmatics, winners of the 2006 Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album, will be joined by special guests Kakande--featuring cellist, local activist and Duffield Street Underground blogger Raul Rothblatt--and the Demolition String Band.
Tickets for this rare Brooklyn performance by The Klezmatics are available online for just $20 ($25 tickets at the door should tickets remain at show time). This is an excellent opportunity to see such an extraordinary band as The Klezmatics, along with such a diverse line-up of excellent, special guest bands!
Guarantee yourself a ticket by ordering today!
(Advance online ticket
sales will close at noon on Thursday, Nov. 8th)

It's terrible that NYC citizens need to defend themselves against their own government.
Ratner is a just what his name says....a rat!

The Klezmatics are a fun group and I’m sure a god time will be had by all, however…
No amount of fund raising, and railing against the “EVIL” Ratner will stop the Atlantic Yards from being built.
The naysayer’s will wail and cry but Brooklyn will get a development that will change the borough for the better.
Brooklyn is the future of New York.
