* November 6, 2005; Kol Haruach was the featured performer in a double set at the Annapolis Jewish Festival, 1399 Forest Drive, Annapolis, MD 21403. This was an interesting concert. The band had been asked to play two different sets. The first set was centered around the group's unique style of Klezmer music. The second set featured their jazz.

"First was the Klezmer (but jazzier than you've ever heard before) group, the Kol Haruach Orchestra. The crowd went crazy, having a thoroughly wonderful time, many dancing the traditional Israeli folk dances."
