Any music festival that kicks things off with brunch is A-OK with Roll Call After Dark.  

While hip-hop/reggae/rock star Matisyahu officially kicks things off on Sunday evening for the 15th annual Washington Jewish Music Festival, it’s always good to go into these things with a full belly, so festival organizers have made sure the Alexandria Kleztet gets things underway right and proper earlier in the day at the D.C. Jewish Community Center at 1529 16th Street NW.

The Klezmer Brunch starts at 10:30 a.m. and costs $10 for the concert and $30 for the concert and kosher brunch. Matisyahu goes on at Lisner Auditorium at 730 21st Street NW at 7 p.m. for his acoustic concert. Thirty bucks for general admission, $25 for DCJCC members, students or seniors and $24 for George Washington University students. If you want the VIP treatment, it’ll cost you $50.  

Full festival passes, from Klezmer Brunch to headliner Kinky Friedman’s June 11 concert (more on that to come) run $100. More information, including a full lineup for the June 1 to June 14 festival, as well as ticket information, is available at wjmf.org .
