Klezmerata Fiorentina
Hear acclaimed klezmer chamber-music ensemble Klezmerata Fiorentina perform Zai Gezunt, Kalinindorf. Based on the reinterpretation of music from the southern frontier of Ukraine, the program is named for the Jewish shtetl Kalinindorf, which was destroyed by the Nazis, as were all of its inhabitants. The work pays musical tribute to these people's lives, both joyful and sorrowful. Extremely varied and exciting, it is influenced by Balkan, Gypsy, Turkish, Ukrainian and Yiddish traditions, which coexisted over the centuries in vast territories along the shores of the Black Sea. The melodies are also derived from the family heritage of Klezmerata's founder, Igor Polesitsky.
