The Kugels play Klezmer<br />
Malvern residents have a unique<br />
opportunity to enjoy the unique sound of<br />
Klezmer music on Thursday, 29 <strong>August</strong>,<br />
when a Wellington band named The<br />
Kugels will perform at Trinity Church<br />
Darfield.<br />
‘If you have experienced “Fiddler on<br />
the Roof”, you have already had an<br />
introduction to the culture around<br />
Klezmer, the celebratory folk-music idiom<br />
of the Jewish people’, explains Philip<br />
Baldwin, Chair of the Malvern Community<br />
Arts Council. ‘Four prominent NZ soloists<br />
have a love for this music and play<br />
traditional Klezmer, along with original<br />
compositions by accordionist/NZ Arts<br />
Laureate Ross Harris.’<br />
The band features the highly expressive<br />
sounds of violin, clarinet, accordion and<br />
bass, supplemented by the multi-talented<br />
performance of Debbie Rawson who<br />
sometimes trades her clarinet for soprano<br />
sax, bass clarinet, or the Maui Xaphoon.<br />
Rounding out the band are fiddler<br />
Robin Perkins and bass player Jaqueline<br />
Norden.<br />
Klezmer originally grew out of music<br />
for Jewish celebrations, dances, and<br />
weddings. Samples of the Klezmer<br />
repertoire abound on Youtube.<br />
Sponsored by NZ Arts on Tour, The<br />
Kugels toured NZ to widespread acclaim<br />
in 2016, and are travelling again this year,<br />
demonstrating the huge appeal that<br />
Klezmer has for a variety of audiences. As<br />
part of the concert, the musicians provide<br />
commentary which is informative,<br />
entertaining, and engaging.<br />
The Kugels will share their passion and<br />
skill for this music at Trinity Church<br />
Darfield on Thursday, 29 <strong>August</strong> at<br />
7.00pm. Tickets — $20/adult and $10/<br />
student — are available at the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Gallery or at the door.
