Isaac Gorelick – Primary Music Leader

London Klezmer Quartet

The London Klezmer Quartet is a small band of four women. Klezmer music is a musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe. Played by professional musicians called klezmorim, it originally consisted mainly of dance tunes and instrumental display pieces for weddings and other celebrations.

The London Klezmer Band played for all of the Primary students in the Millie Phillips Theatre. The instruments that the band played were the Accordion, Clarinet, Double Bass, and Violin.

The London Klezmer Quartet was great for the Primary children. All of the children were dancing, clapping, laughing, and singing. They also included a lot of games and audience interaction in their performance. For example, they allowed the audience to clap some rhythms along with the songs that they were playing. The band played excellent music and we hope to see them again another time.
