Available in:
The Epstein Brothers Orchestra (also known as the Epstein Brothers) was a Jewish musical quartet from the United States who mainly played Klezmer music.
It consisted of the four New York born brothers, Max Epstein (October 4, 1912–March 18, 2000), William “Willie“ Epstein (March 3, 1919–July 2, 1999), Julius “Julie“ Epstein (* 1926) and Isidore “Chi“ Epstein (December 28, 1913–November 9 1986).
In 1996 Max, William and Julius Epstein performed together in the documentary A Tickle in the Heart which told the story of the four brothers. Chi died in 1986.
In 1998 the Epstein Brothers were awarded the NEA National Heritage Award by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Since the death of William on 2 July 1999 and Max on 18 March 2000 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Julius Epstein is the last survivor of the band. He lives with his wife Esther in Sarasota, Florida.
