The Klezmatics are world-renowned Grammy-winning klezmer superstars whose music is “as deeply compassionate as it is invigorating, as accessible as it is virtuosic” (Time Out New York).
They erupted out of New York City’s East Village in 1986 and revitalized klezmer for the new century. The music is steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality, while incorporating contemporary themes such as human rights and anti-fundamentalism and eclectic musical influences including Arab, African, Latin and Balkan rhythms, jazz and punk.
