CORNELL CONCERT SERIES

The Klezmatics became world-renowned superstars when they erupted out of New York City’s East Village in 1986 to revitalize klezmer for new generations. Their music is steeped in Eastern European Jewish tradition and spirituality, while also incorporating contemporary themes such as human rights, antifundamentalism, and eclectic musical influences—from jazz and punk to Arab, African, Latin, and Balkan rhythms. Over the course of thirty years, they have released nine albums of wild, spiritual, and ecstatically danceable music, forever redefining and transcending traditional labels. In the process, they have garnered numerous accolades, including a GRAMMY Award, a New York Jewish Music Award, a Gay and Lesbian American Music Award, and the German Critics Award (twice), in addition to being featured in theater, film, and television projects.

“Forward-looking, tradition-shattering.” – Pitchfork

“The best band in America…there are no longer any boundaries of any kind. The world is changed.” – Pop Matters

YIDSTOCK 2023 - Amherst, MA

Made possible in part with support from Wayne and Deborah Zuckerman.

The Klezmatics, the internationally acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning modern klezmer outfit, was founded in New York City in 1986 and has been performing around the world since then. Blending instrumental and vocal virtuosity and experimentation with theatricality firmly rooted in klezmer and Yiddish tradition, the Klezmatics brought the revival of klezmer into the rock era, blazing the path for the klezmer renaissance with one foot in the shtetl and the other in the downtown avant-garde. The Klezmatics are Lorin Sklamberg, vocals, piano, and guitar; Frank London, trumpet and keyboards; Matt Darriau, clarinet, saxophone, and recorders; Lisa Gutkin, violin; Paul Morrisett, bass and tsimbl; and Richie Barshay, drums.
