We're happy to share that The Nu Haven Kapelye is now a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. That means we are now eligible to accept donations and apply for state and federal grants. The Kapelye continues to play a mix of Yiddish music, klezmer, and (occasionally) other Jewish pieces.
Our winter hours in the studio in 2015 produced our first album, What's Nu?, which is available on our music page! Watch the preview above. Or take a step back and experience our first day's recording session through this time-lapse recording made by drummer Jay Miles.

As part of Make Music New Haven, the Nu Haven Kapelye will be featured performing on the New Haven Green from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. My recommendation if you come to support us and hear us play is that you bring an umbrella as that part of the green has no trees and the sun can be pretty unbearable, also if it rains you will have an umbrella and still get to hear us!
