Klezmer music is soulful and lively, a genre that originated among the Jews of Eastern Europe. The music spread with the Jewish diaspora and gained its American popularity in the early 20th century. A klezmer revival that began in the 1970s has been sustained and reenergized by a new generation of musicians. In its present form, klezmer incorporates elements of German, Baroque, Slavic, Ottoman, religious Jewish music, and jazz. In the hands of the New Klezmer Trio, the musical effects are electrifying. The trio are Adah Hetko, Nat Seelen, and Rebecca Mac; all are cultural scholars and superb musicians.
Bagaduce Music is hosting a full weekend with The New Klezmer Trio with a Lecture/Demo and a Dance on the 17th in Blue Hill and Belfast, respectively. So if you’re looking for more of The New Klezmer Trio, we’ve got you covered.
