Fanfare Zambaleta (11 pm) was incubated in the Zambaleta Music and Dance School in San Francisco and has since hit the streets as a full-fledged 10-piece juggernaut of a band playing exciting Romani, Serbian, Macedonian, and Greek Brass music with passion and dedication and featuring some of the Bay Area's most exciting young players and seasoned veterans: Greg Jenkins, alto sax, clarinet, vocals; Peter Bonos, trumpet; Max Miller-Loran, trumpet; Joseph Friedman, alto sax; Rachel MacFarlane, tenor horn; Andrew Cohen & Larry Leight, euphonium; Evan Stuart, sousaphone & Ivan Velev, tapan

Orchestra Euphonos (10 pm) is a Bay Area-based Eastern European folk ensemble who return to the Berkeley Balkan Bacchanal with a special program of traditional lautari music of Moldova and Romania. Lead by Bacchanal producer, bandleader and trumpet player Peter Bonos this performance will feature recent addition to the band, Balder Ten Cate on the cimbalom, Zina Pozen (accordion), Travis Hendrix (bass), Ivan Velev (percussion) plus some very special out-of-this-world guest maestros!

Saul Goodman's Klezmer Band (9 pm) comes from a musical tradition tracing back to the old world shtetl of Szrensk. Incorporating post-immigrant sounds rooted in klezmer, Saul Goodman's music moves the spirit and the dance. It's always a simcha with Saul!

This performance will feature Mike Perlmutter on clarinet Dmitri Gaskin on accordion, Andrew Cohen on helicon, and Sean Tergis on poyk. Saul unfortunately cannot make the gig, though it’s all good man nonetheless!
