Klezmer is a rich musical mix of Balkans and blues, ancient Jewish culture, prayer and history, spirit and jazz, bringing to life the authentic "old-world" Jewish sound of clarinet, accordion, and fiddle. Klezmer laughs and cries, dances, soars and dives to reach the hearts and souls of the audience.
