Program Description

Event Details

The Chicago Klezmer Ensemble, led by Kurt Bjorling, presents an elegant and knowledgeable approach to klezmer music that retains the earthy, human, and expressive qualities. The group  brings traditional klezmer music in direct contact with the listener. Instruments include fidl (violin), tsimbl (Jewish style hammered dulcimer), double-bass, accordion, and harp. This program is co-sponsored by the Chicago YIVO Society. 

Due to unforseen circumstances, the KlezMeydlech event has been replaced with the Chicago Klezmer Ensemble.
