The London Klezmer Quartet will perform at the East Gosford Progress Hall on March 10, as part of their national album tour, for the Central Coast Bush Dance and Music Association (CCBDMA) Inc.’s March Bush Dance.
This is the London Klezmer Quartet’s (LKQ) fourth album and features a wealth of traditional-style compositions by the band. Dancers will hear the irresistibly sonorous vocals of Indra Buraczewska in traditional laments, a Warsaw Yiddish theatre hit with a hint of jazz (‘Goodbye New York’) and a song about beetroot soup. Klezmer now has wide appeal in Australia, bolstered by LKQ’s virtuosic and enthusiastic approach to bringing not just the repertoire, but colourful anecdotes about its origins, to audiences, helping to make the music accessible.
This is the soulful and celebratory music of Jewish Eastern Europe, and wider afield, at its most beguiling and seductive. Indra Buraczewska’s powerful voice adds spice to the playing that showcases her musical dexterity and maturity on the double bass, and that of Susi Evans (clarinet), Ilana Cravitz (violin), and Carol Isaacs (accordion). The event is a dance more than a concert and patrons are encouraged to participate.
