The Fabulous Shpeilkehs include 3rd & 4th generation klezmer musicians: a mother/daughter duo from the illustrious Hoffman family, the klezmer family of Philadelphia during the 1st half of the 20th Century. Daughter Elaine received training from her father and uncles in the family's repertoire of polkas, freilachs, mazurkas, shers and other Eastern European tunes. Drummer Elaine Hoffman Watts, the first women ever to graduate from the Curtis Institute of Music in percussion, was not allowed to play in klezmer bands for decades because she was a woman. She not only overcame this obstacle, she became one of the most important klezmer musicians of her generation, recongnized as a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2007.
