A Happening in Hurleyville
Our 7th Historic marker dedication in the town of Hurleyville will feature a literary and arts expo celebrating the Borscht Belt era.
Stroll the small businesses on main street, visit the Sullivan County Historical Society and stop by “Author Row” featuring books and illustrations about the Catskills. Then grab a ticket to Sam Sadigursky’s immersive performance of The Solomon Diaries at the Hurleyville Performing Arts Centre (HPAC) at 3:00 pm.
Sadigursky's series of 3-albums were inspired by the Borscht Belt and blend blues, klezmer, jazz, American folk, and Middle Eastern rhythms in a “compelling musical remembrance of a bygone era.”
This happening is part of Upstate Art Weekend.
This event is free and open to all (except for the performance, which is a ticketed event).

ABOUT THE SOLOMON DIARIES:
Clarinetist Sam Sadigursky and accordionist Nathan Koci present The Solomon Diaries, an evocative musical portrait inspired by the rise and fall of The Borscht Belt, as well as Marisa Scheinfeld's photographs of the region. The music intimately fuses sounds of Jewish spiritual and Klezmer music along with classical influences, Middle Eastern rhythms, jazz improvisation, and tinges of Americana. The duo has been featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Balcony Bar series, the Sheen Center (NYC), and the Yiddish Book Center as part of the 2023 Yidstock festival.
