A Christmas show with IGUDESMAN & JOO
The Holiday Season, undoubtedly, is the best time of the year. Families get together and have a jolly ball, and they will find no better place to do this than with IGUDESMAN & JOO in “A Little Silent Night Music”.
Whether you celebrate with a Christmas tree, a Dreidel, a Korsi, a Rangoli, or a Krampus, in the world of IGUDESMAN & JOO, everyone has fun.
Heartrending renditions of holiday classics stand next to hilarious original Christmas and New Year songs, topped off with some IGUDESMAN & JOO all-time classics. “A Little Silent Night Music” spreads Holiday Cheer, with healthy amounts of mistletoe and virtuoso music.
IgudeSNOWman & JOOdolph are coming to town! This is the one night of the year for all of us to enjoy ourselves and to give up seriousness – “cold turkey”!
What others say
Prior to our thanksgiving concert with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Music Director Manfred Honeck and the dynamic duo Igudesman and Joo, there was much scepticism within the organization as to how the orchestra and audience would react. However, our minds were put at ease the minute they arrived! They were incredibly professional, obviously very talented, and provided a breath of fresh air for the orchestra and PSO staff. It was such a joy to have them with us, and we received such great feedback from our patrons and the musicians that we immediately reinvited them to join us for a special concert with the orchestra the following year!
“Describing the Igudesman & Joo humor in detail would be to deflate its brilliance. For the put-upon Igudesman, think Jack Benny and Jascha Heifetz rolled into one.

Ultimately, it survives – barely and hilariously — as an unclassifiable audience sing‐along. But the idea of surviving is also a serious business with these two miraculous performers“
