David Krakauer at Brandeis

[a bisl yidishkayt <klezmer...>]

You probably know already that Krakauer was the Klezmatics' clarinetist on their 2nd and 3rd albums, but you may not be aware that he is a genius.  I certainly wasn't until I had the opportunity to hear him play and study with him at KlezKanada last month. (and I'm still not a genius!)  He is a master of klezmer, classical, jazz, etc. and a good speaker.

Anyway, he's at Brandeis for 3 days later this month giving lectures and a concert. I've just copied the info. Brandeis emailed me (vs. sending it in an attachment).

Here's the info.



Three-day residency with internationally renowned clarinetist David Krakauer
September 21-23, 2000


Seminar with David Krakauer, sponsored by The Brandeis Department of Music
Thursday, September 21, 3 to 5pm
Slosberg Music Center, Room 212
Free and open to the public. Internationally acclaimed clarinetist David
Krakauer re-defines the notion of a concert artist. Known for his mastery
of myriad styles, including classical chamber music, eastern European
klezmer music, the avant-garde, rock and jazz, Krakauer lies way beyond
"cross-over."  For his own improvisational/theatrical solo performances, he
has developed a unique and literally breathtaking clarinet language using
circular breathing, overtones and alternate fingerings.
