Klezshop (Gilad Cohen+Jonathan Keren+Gilad Harel)
Gilad Harel – clarinets
Jonathan Keren – violin, viola
Gilad Cohen – bass guitar, voice
A unique modern-klezmer trio based in New York City. Its members, originally from Israel, bring a wide variety of genres and influences to their music. Graduates of the Juilliard School, the Paris Conservatory and the Jerusalem Academy, they combine their classical education with a rich experience of performing Jewish music, Rock, Jazz and Irish music all over the world.
Klezshop’s music sounds very familiar and at the same time very different from anything you have ever heard. Part of its uniqueness is its color of sound: The combination between the clarinet, the violin and the bass guitar, creates unique interactions between acoustic and electric, tradition and modernism, lyrical melodies and electrifying rhythms.
Klezshop perform their own compositions, in a wide variety of styles with a Klezmer touch, alongside their original arrangements of traditional Jewish music.
Since its inception in 2007, Klezshop has performed in venues such as Indiana University (Indiana); 92nd Street Y (NYC); Verdi Square Festival for the Arts (NYC); JCC Mid-Westchester (NY); 18th Annual Interfaith Concert of Remembrance at Cathedral of St. John the Divine (NYC); Suffern Public Library (NY) and Artel Club (Jerusalem).
Klezshop’s show is thrilling, moving, thoughtful, and always full with joy and happiness.
