Klezmer music survived the Holocaust, improbably emerging from the ashes when hip, young Jewish musicians began to explore this lost tradition in the post-folk music era when all things ethnic were in vogue. Always at the forefront of this Klezmer renaissance, which continues to this day, The Klezmatics found wide acclaim for reviving shtetl music with robust musicality, using merriment, respect, authenticity, and intensity to fuel the music’s nostalgic appeal.
Festival guest and violinist extraordinaire Alicia Svigals, who will perform live accompaniment to our Centerpiece screening of the silent film “The Man Without a World,” is featured prominently in this 2010 documentary, directed by Erik Anjou, chronicling the fortunes of the band she co-founded and the importance of the music they revitalized.
