Rendez-vous with Kleztory
Kleztory is a Canadian ensemble based in Montréal that draws from the klezmer tradition rooted in the shtetls of Eastern Europe, while weaving in jazz, classical, Gypsy, folk, country, and blues influences.

Emotional and virtuosic, true to the soul of klezmer
Energetic and festive, with a stage presence marked by humor and generosity

Canada, United States, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Hungary, Romania, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, China, Norway, Switzerland…
