Toronto-based ensemble Queen Kong presents Mitsve Tants, a new 
concert work rooted in Jewish ritual and contemporary expression.
Inspired by the Hasidic wedding tradition in which joy is created as 
a sacred obligation, Mitsve Tants asks what it means to choose joy 
deliberately in a fractured world. Led by drummer and composer Lorie 
Wolf, Queen Kong blends klezmer with jazz, funk, rock, and improvisation, 
transforming ceremonial melodies into expansive, groove-driven 
compositions. Mitsve Tants will be released as a studio recording in 
summer 2026, with this performance marking a cornerstone presentation.
