2020 SEASON
New Year's Concert:
Special Guest Artist: David Krakauer
wednesday, January 1, 2020
3:00pm - white theatre
Join us for an annual favorite: a New Year's Day concert with Kinnor Philharmonic!
This year, we are thrilled to announce that internationally acclaimed clarinetist David Krakauer redefines the notion of a concert artist. Known for his mastery of myriad styles, he occupies the unique position of being one of the world’s leading exponents of Eastern European Jewish klezmer music, and at the same time is a major voice in classical music.
Klezmer music is the traditional Jewish folk music of Eastern European Jewish communities. Over time, the style of music has grown to include instrumental music, Yiddish vocal music, and modern fusion music.
The performance will be followed by a champagne and dessert reception.
