‘Steaming hot vintage klezmer, sour G-Funk, dark and heavenly bright sound fields, cantors in space, extatic brass harmonizations, turntable-explosations, sparkling klezz’: what more would you want at the first BIMHUIS concert in the new year? The Oisters dive for pearls from a century of klezmer, discovering new futuristic hybrids along the way to the world premiere of KLEZZ OF ’19, the new composition of its clarinet-playing band leader David Kweksilber. Featuring Benjamin Herman and members of a.o. New Cool Collective Big Band and Zuco 103.
