2nd SHIFT Music Series Concert: Klezwoods in Waltham

Klezwoods is a wild amalgam of strings, horns, and percussion that melds the spirit of Jewish, Eastern European, Arabic, and North African music traditions with modern grooves, improvisation, and melodic interplay.

The ensemble, which features from five to ten members on any given night, serves as a truly modern American melting pot of musical cultures, as each world-renowned performer brings a unique voice and musical background to the mix.

The band’s formidable range and tightly arranged melodies only add to the audience’s experience of Klezwoods’ music: wildly exuberant Balkan wedding songs, somber clarinet melodies, stately Ottoman-inspired themes, upbeat klezmer dances, and barn burning, funky North African beats. All are presented in a dynamic manner that is unique to Klezwoods, which embraces and pays deep respect to all of these cultural and musical influences. Simply put, “it’s a party you won’t want to miss out on.” (MuzikReviews.com)
