Een nieuw geluid van Di Fidl-Kapelye!
Project "Trumpets for Di Fidl-Kapelye"

Bekend om haar authentieke klezmer-sound is Di Fidl-Kapelye nu op weg naar nieuwe horizonten: blazende klezmer-experts componeren speciaal voor de snaren-kapelye nieuwe stukken.

5 beroemde klezmer-blazers hebben de afgelopen maanden gewerkt aan nieuw repertoire speciaal voor Di Fidl-Kapelye geschreven. Het project begon met drie trompettisten: Frank London (van o.a. de Klezmatics), Gijs Levelt (o.a. Amsterdam Klezmer Band) en Susan Watts (o.a. de Klezmer Brass Allstars). Inmiddels is het uitgegroeid tot een blazers-voor-strijkers-project, waarin ook klarinettist Yankl Falk (di Naye Kapelye) en saxofonist Job Chajes (Amsterdam Klezmer Band) componeren.

Première van het project: zo. 19 feb, Synagoge Enschede
CD verwacht : zomer 2006
Met ondersteuning van ThuisKopieFonds
