This musical feast will explode into a global food fight of jazz, Latin, rock, and folk with resounding themes of social justice, human dignity and mutual understanding. Acclaimed klezmer/rock band Mostly Kosher radically reconstructs Judaic and American cultural music through ravenous klezmer beats and arresting Yiddish refrains.
The group has also been a fixture of California stages and the community, performing and educating with the Urban Voices Project, Jewish Youth Orchestra in San Gabriel Valley, and various underserved communities. Mostly Kosher have released two albums thus far, the latest in 2022 titled “This World is Yours” which sources elements from the biblical Songs of Solomon and Ladino folk songs, among others.

HISTORY OF THE ROOSEVELT LIBRARY
In 1929 the library opened as the Roosevelt Park Branch Library, San Antonio’s South side library, and in 1968 it closed. The building is located across from the Roosevelt Park which marks the beginning of the Mission Reach Ecosystem Restoration and Recreation Project, an eight mile stretch of the San Antonio River that has received designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, the building’s architect was John Marriott who also designed the Carnegie Library in Delaware, Ohio. Leland Stone purchased the building in 2013 and, as heralded by SA2020, it is a “new kind of gathering space.”
