Klezmatics
Monday, February 23, 8:00 PM
HISTORIC TAKOMA THEATRE, 6833 4TH STREET NW
WASHINGTON, DC. - ONE BLOCK FROM TAKOMA METRO
$14 advance/$17 door
The Klezmatics play soul-stirring Jewish roots music for our
time, recreating klezmer in arrangements and compositions
that combine Jewish identity and mysticism with a contemporary zeitgeist
and a postmodern aesthetic. Since their founding in New York City's
East Village in 1986, the Klezmatics have celebrated the ecstatic nature
of Yiddish music with works which are by turns wild, spiritual, provocative,
reflective and danceable. The Klezmatics star studded lineup includes
multi instrumentalist/composer MATT DARRIAU who plays reeds, flutes
and ethnic woodwinds, fiddler/composer LISA GUTKIN, DAVID LICHT (drums),
trumpeter/composer FRANK LONDON, PAUL MORRISSETT (bass/tsimbl), and
last, but also first Klezmatics founding singer and accordionist, LORIN
SKLAMBERG.
