The Klezmatics at DeBartolo Performing Arts Center

Often called a “Jewish roots band,” the Klezmatics is the vanguard in a popular revival of the ages-old, nearly forgotten klezmer art form. They’ve collaborated with Itzhak Perlman, Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner and Israeli vocal icon Chava Alberstein.

After 25 years, three original members—Lorin Sklamberg (lead vocals, accordion, guitar, piano), Frank London (trumpet, keyboards, vocals) and Paul Morrissett (bass, tsimbl, vocals)— alongside longtime members Matt Darriau (kaval, clarinet, saxophone, vocals) and Lisa Gutkin (violin, vocals), continue sharing music made for dancing with the world.
