Klezmer Klassica explores the richly generative but often un(der)explored meeting point of Western ‘classical’ music and Jewish ‘folk’ music, musical encounters against a complex historical, cultural, and political backdrop. Conceived by Richard Fay and Daniel Mawson, the Klezmer Klassica chamber ensemble explores this rich musical vein through fresh interpretations of pieces by composers both well-known (e.g. Shostakovich) and perhaps less well-known (e.g. Joseph Achron).
