An Up Close performance re-imagines the boundaries of a traditional concert experience, inviting a visionary artistic partner to create a new, cross-disciplinary experiment in collaboration with the adventurous Ensemble Connect. Tonight, the ensemble’s artistic partner is New York’s “ebullient clarinet wizard” (TimeOut New York) David Krakauer, who blends genres so seamlessly “you’d almost think that there’s no appreciable difference between jazz, klezmer, and formal classical music” (The Wall Street Journal). This event celebrates 100 years of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.
