Art-a-Whirl this Sunday, May 20th at 2 o'clock
Join us for an hour of klezmer music at the Art-A-Whirl event. We will be playing outdoors just outside an arts warehouse on 1224 Quincy in North Minneapolis.
Look for a brick building three blocks East of Central just north of Broadway, NE Minneapolis.
Here's a map, see you there!
Eisner's Klezmorim plays traditional klezmer music that really rocks.
Led by Judith Eisner on violin, the band has a big Old World sound of accordion, clarinet, and double bass. Added to this mix is the distinctly Eastern European sound of the Tsimbl, or Cymbolim, a Hungarian hammered dulcimer. Often a Ukrainian / Greek mandolin joins in, and the band creates a wild acoustic experience of an old world wedding.
Judith plays klezmer music with a number of fine musicians in the Minneapolis Area.
Eisner's Klezmorim Band Members, the Klezmorim, include:
The whole band includes - violin, clarinet, accordion, double bass, mandolin and tsimbl (hammered dulcimer). See their picture below.
There is a klezmer string trio - violin, double bass and tsimbl (hammered dulcimer)
Judith often plays in a duo. She plays fiddle with Stu Janis or Diane Benjamin, both hammered dulcimer / tsimbl players.
Judith also plays accordion and violin with her husband, a mandolin player.
Eisner's Klezmorim plays a fast tune, a freykekhs in C
Judith gave a presentation to the Minneapolis J.C.C. about learning her grandparent's language, yiddish. She played some lovely klezmer music with Stu Janis on tsimbl and Leo Bjorlie playing double bass. Watch the video here.
