Dmitri Slepovitch
"...the refined arrangements by Hankus Netsky with Jesse Gelber and Dmitri Slepovitch should be as appealing to the khazones newcomer as they are familiar to the khazones connoisseur."
"Mr. Slepovitch's mastery of five languages has brought a new feature to the lessons: the inclusion of Russian translations into the dialogue, which has greatly aided the community aspect of the class."
"...And that is terrific stuff, particularly Dmitri “Zisl” Slepovitch’s clarinet...
"Traveling the Yiddishland” is a long and fascinating journey, and not just a single stop."
...Excellent klezmer-style band under the direction of Dmitri Slepovitch...
"Presented under the title “New Worlds: A Celebration of I. L. Peretz,” the two pieces, with English and Russian supertitles, add up to admirably creative, visually and aurally engaging theater... Receiving its premiere here, “Di Tsvey Brider,” draws on... music performances by Matt Temkin and Dmitri Slepovitch (who composed the score)..."
"The songs, compiled by Chana Mlotek with Zalmen Mlotek and director Eleanor Reissa, are expertly sung by the strong-voiced cast and buoyed by the sure-handed musical direction of Dmitri Slepovitch."
"The performance’s creepy “Tales From the Crypt” vibe gained much from the atmospheric score provided by Dmitri Slepovitch, Belarusian musician and ethnomusicologist, who played some of his region’s distinctive Jewish music during the intermission. Slepovitch is a terrific clarinetist and a genuine ham."
“Dmitri Slepovich’s trilling clarinet makes for irresistible dancing music.”
“The four-piece Folksbiene Klezmer Band, led by Dmitri "Zisl" Slepovitch, shines.”
“Dmitri Slepovitch was one of my favorites, with infectious, ethnic charisma, as he filled the auditorium with traditional Russian themes.”
Evoking a vanished world and filling the performances with liveliness is the Folksbiene Band: Joshua Camp, Louise Strouse Boiman, Dmitri Slepovitch and Taylor Bergren-Chrisman.
“Applause, applause to the Folksbiene Band’s Joshua Camp, Louisa Strouse Boiman, Dmitri Slepovitch and Taylor Bergren-Chrisman.”
"Barnstorming pianist"
"Getting Dmitri, with his encyclopedic knowledge of historical and contemporary klezmer, turned out to be a master stroke."
“Dmitri is doing extremely important research work on klezmer in Belarus as a doctoral musicology candidate. He is a great clarinetist and the Minsker Kapelye's CD is quite excellent - a testament to hard work, sensitivity to the genre/repertoire and to the virtuosity of the band's members.”
