For those that know me, you’ll know I’ve long been an amateur klezmer lover, and player. I’ve attended Klezfest, the UK’s klezmer festival many times over the last decade, and played in a klezmer quartet when I had a little more time a few years back. It’s such wonderful music.
Victor and Cassy’s wedding was an opportunity to bring this into the quartet. Their timings meant they weren’t able to get a specialist klezmer ensemble, but we were able to get everyone up on their feet dancing with our arrangements of klezmer tunes.
Some were contributed by the brilliant Ilana Cravitz’s book, some borrowed from the internet, and others we made ourselves.
