Ziv Kartaginer is a trumpet player, composer, and arranger whose music blends jazz, classical, Middle Eastern, klezmer, and world traditions. Born in Jerusalem to a family with roots in Tunisia, Bulgaria, and Poland, he draws deeply from Balkan, klezmer, and Middle Eastern musical cultures. His work brings these traditions together with contemporary jazz, creating inventive and compelling musical experiences.
For this performance, Ziv will collaborate with local New Orleans musicians, merging the city’s distinctive sound with his original compositions and fresh arrangements of Israeli and Middle Eastern pieces for a vibrant, cross-cultural evening of music.
