'The Budapest Klezmer Band comes from the heart of Europe, from the very geographic location where
Klezmer music originates. The Band's performance is an exciting musical experience in traditional Jewish folklore.'
The band is led by composer,
arranger Ferenc Jávori, who was raised on Klezmer music in Munkács (Munkacevo,
nowadays part of Ukraine). He learnt his trade from some of the last
surviving musicians there, where music was an integral part of Jewish
life. The Budapest Klezmer Band play Klezmer music that is seeped in traditional Jewish life
and folklore.
Other members of the band are also exceptional musicians, being graduates
of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music of Budapest.
