ASHKENAZ MUSIC & DANCE COMMUNITY CENTER
BERKELEY’S HOME FOR WORLD MUSIC AND DANCE SINCE 1973
Ashkenaz is Temporarily Closed
Ashkenaz is temporarily shutting down due to COVID-19. This has not been an easy decision to make, and we understand if you are disappointed because we know how much you love live music and dancing at Ashkenaz. We promise to be back with great music and dancing from around the world, but until then we won’t have any revenue from ticket sales or from the bar. The livelihood of our employees and of our beloved nonprofit arts organization are at stake. Please help us out during these hard times and we’ll look forward to a full dance floor in the future!
Thank you for your understanding and support, and we’ll see you soon!
