The Jerusalem International Klezmer Festival

Monday, 19.8, 20:30 – entrance is free.

The festival introduces an innovative concept designed to awaken klezmer music through the participation of young, modern artists performing new works with the old, traditional klezmer. There will be seven days of performances at different venues around the city, with this year’s festival focusing on performances in the city’s community councils.

Mayor Moshe Lion: “This summer, Jerusalem is packed with diverse events from all areas of culture, music and art, including festivals, performances by the best singers from Israel and the world, and now the Klezmer Festival. This is a traditional and original music festival that connects the past and the present, Israeliness and Judaism, and Jerusalem is the natural place for it. I invite everyone to come and enjoy this special music.”
