International Band: Klezmer Ensemble
(Music/Theatre/Dance)
A musical event featuring the distinctive sound of Klezmer music by the world-renowned Chicago Klezmer Ensemble. Klezmer music originated in the Jewish shtetls and ghettos of Eastern Europe in the early middle ages. It draws upon Slavonic, Greek, Ottoman, Arabic, Gypsy and - more recently - American jazz elements, and features numerous tempo changes, irregular rhythms, dissonance and a touch of improvisation. The result is a very diversified music, easily recognizable and widely appreciated all around the world.
