This is a well presented museum that shouldn't be missed!

You don't always need to go to a music festival like Coachella or Country Thunder for good music. When I was invited to go to the American Jewish Historical Society to listen to music, I was hoping for Lil Dicky or Matisyahu vibes- unfortunately there were not. There were clarinetists and a quartet of string instruments playing slow, rhythmic, pleasant music. Different vibes than what I was hoping for, but nonetheless, the performers were excellent . The museum itself is worth going to as well.
