Hailed as the vanguard of the international klezmer revival movement, the Grammy Award-winning band, The Klezmatics redefined the boundaries of contemporary Jewish music with an innovative, downtown NY sensibility. They have also collaborated with such diverse artists as Chava Alberstein, Arlo Guthrie, Itzhak Perlman and Joshua Nelson. Following the group through tours in the U.S., Germany and Poland, filmmaker Erik Anjou (Deli Man, A Cantor’s Tale) reveals the challenges faced by exceptionally creative musicians as they strive to continue making joyous, boundary-breaking music, while balancing the demands of family, career and their own individual personalities.
