Metropolitan Klezmer at Emelin Theatre

About

Metropolitan Klezmer:
This collaborative adventure of eight exceptional New York musicians combines the best of downtown, classical and world music scenes to create inspired interpretations and compositions of eclectic Yiddish repertoire. Established in 1994, the group brings eclectic exuberance to musical genres from all over the map. Performing vibrant versions of lesser-known gems from wedding dance, trance, folk, swing, and tango styles, as well as soundtrack material from vintage Yiddish films, they re-invent tradition with both irreverence and respect.
