A rich and ancient tradition, klezmer has endured thanks to its deep humanity of expression and easy absorption of contemporary influences. The melding of classical and klezmer music has been going on for hundreds of years, with harmonies, melodies and performers moving freely from genre to genre.
American clarinetist and composer David Krakauer moves brilliantly between the worlds of classical and klezmer, making his debut appearance with the Portland Symphony Orchestra in a program honoring both. Conductor Anna Handler, newly appointed assistant conductor at the Boston Symphony, also joins for her first time appearing with the PSO.
