Concert of Budapest Klezmer Band

Csokonai Theater Kossuth u. 10, Debrecen, Hungary

The Budapest Klezmer Band has been entertaining audiences since 1990 with its lively and humorous stage performances. It combines the different musical trends of the Carpathian Basin in a virtuoso way.  The members of the band are true masters of their instruments, redefining klezmer music across genres. In their original musical compositions, traditional Yiddish motifs are complemented by elements of Gypsy and folk music, spiced up with a touch of modernity. The orchestra's founding leader and composer is Ferenc "Fegya" Jávori, whose innovative ideas have given rise to the genres of klezmer ballet, klezmer suites and klezmer musicals in Hungary.  All of these artistic productions were created with world-class local collaborators. The orchestra's sophisticated musical world of diverse klezmer music, with a distinctly Carpatho-Basin flavour, has been a huge success with audiences in Europe and overseas. The Budapest Klezmer Band has received many prestigious awards and prizes. Orchestra members: Ferenc Jávori "Fegya" - piano, vocals Anna Nagy - accordion István Kohán - clarinet Balázs Végh - drums Bence Gazda - violin, vocals span style="font-weight: 400;">László Máthé - double bass Gábor Barbinek - trombone The duration of the concert is 90 minutes.
