#1942: Program #1942

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Clarinetist David Krakauer is one of the world's leading exponents of Eastern European Jewish klezmer music, and his ensemble Klezmer Madness has been a regular fixture at Merkin Hall in New York. Another fixture at the hall is the New Sounds Live concert series, and combination of the two is the premise for this edition of New Sounds. We also sample live performances by Matt Darriau's Paradox Trio.
