KLEZMER MUSIC

Unusual musical events with the participation of local klezmer music bands take place every week at the Klezmer Music Venue at ul. Sławkowska 14. The music of klezmer bands is based on the national culture of Jews living in south-eastern and central Europe. However, the greatest emphasis is placed on music combining Balkan-Slavic motifs. The repertoire includes both instrumental pieces related to the folklore of Reform Jews and songs by Orthodox Jews performed in Yiddish.

 

Concerts take place every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

KLEZMER MUSIC

Di Galitzyaner Klezmorim


The band was formed in 1996 by three students of Krakow’s Academy of Music, fascinated by klezmer music and the atmosphere of Kazimierz. Ever since the beginning, the band has been keeping with the traditional Klezmer style, which is also evidenced in the very name. The Yiddish phrase Di Galitzyaner Klezmorim means Muzykanci Galicyjscy [The Galician Musicians], which is a nod to the tradition of Jewish bands, plentiful in East-Central Europe.

The trio’s repertoire relies on popular klezmer tunes, but not exclusively; among the original compositions are: Modlitwa w Synagodze Izaaka [A Prayer in the Isaac Synagogue], and Freilach Chopina [Chopin’s Freilach]. The band in its current line-up has been active since 1998. The members are: Mariola Śpiewak (clarinet), Grzegorz Śpiewak (accordion), and Rafał Seweryniak (double bass)

KLEZMER MUSIC VENUE

Dębiński House or “Under the Barrel” – was built in the 15th century. In the second half of the 17th century, the owner of the house was the royal hunter Kaspar Dębiński. During the renovation of the building, the facade of the tenement house was decorated with paintings depicting various types of weapons.
