The Budapest Klezmer Band has been performing since 1990 with their captivating and humorous stage performances. The band combines different musical traditions from their geographical area. The band members are professional musicians who help redefine klezmer music across genre boundaries. In each composition, the traditional klezmer motifs can be supplemented with gypsy music and other folk music elements. The music is also taken further to the soundscape of our time.
The founder and composer of the band is Ferenc Jávori “Fegya.” His innovative ideas have provided the basis for his productions in his home country, such as his klezmer ballet, a klezmer suite, and klezmer musical. Each art production was made in collaboration with world-class Hungarian fellow musicians. The Budapest Klezmer Band has received several prestigious recognitions and awards.
They are back at the Jewish Cultural Festival Trondheim for the second time. We look forward to seeing them perform.
