RENDEZ-VOUS

ABOUT

Like the klezmer music they perform with passion, Kleztory is a rich mosaic of cultures (Russian, Québécois, and Canadian), training (conservatory and self-taught), and musical sensibilities (classical, jazz, blues, and folk). In uniting their talents, these accomplished musicians recreate the brilliance and soul of the klezmer style. Their signature approach blends innovative arrangements with deep respect for tradition, alongside compelling original works. Kleztory in three words: Virtuosity, energy, and emotion! An absolute must-hear!
