A Benefit for NW immigrant Rights Project
Featuring Klez Chaos and The Klein Party
Klezmer Starts Here! is a curated series at Seattle’s Royal Room presented by the Klein Party and South Hudson Music Project featuring local and national klezmer musicians exploring the breadth and depth of Yiddish music.
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) strives for justice and equity for all persons, regardless of where they were born. They promote justice by defending and advancing the rights of immigrants through direct legal services, systemic advocacy, and community education. NWIRP is the largest organization in Washington state providing free, comprehensive immigration legal services for people with low or no income. Their legal services are critical to helping thousands of immigrants navigate the complexities of the United States immigration system so they can apply for asylum or other forms of immigration protection. Without appropriate legal assistance, the men, women and children served by NWIRP may be less likely to obtain legal immigration status, and more likely to be returned to a country where they face ill treatment, torture, or even death. NWIRP has offices in Granger, Seattle, Tacoma and Wenatchee. In 2024, NWIRP served over 20,000 people from 145 countries, speaking 63 different languages.

The Klein Party celebrates and plays “klezmerish music from All the Old Countries with a jazz sensibility and rock-and-roll exuberance.” The core of the repertoire are original arrangements of Ashkenazi Jewish music from the Old & New Worlds, as well as other music from around the world that shares the ecstatic joy and emotional intensity of the music we call “klezmer.” https://thekleinparty.com
