The many accolades to David Krakauer's address speak for themselves: this Jewish American is one of the greatest living clarinetists. During his career, Krakauer has already shared the stage with greats such as John Cage, jazz pianist Uri Caine and the Tokyo String Quartet, and released an arsenal of important klezmer records. With his Klezmer Madness Band he brings a repertoire that is firmly rooted in traditional Eastern European klezmer, but is seamlessly united with other influences such as jazz, rock, avant-garde improvisation and even classical chamber music. The label 'cross-over' pales in significance when listening to Krakauer's musical skills. So don't miss your chance to see the future of klezmer at work with David Krakauer Klezmer Madness!
