About the Artists . . .

Clarinetist David Krakauer is one of the foremost musicians of the vital new wave of Klezmer. The scope and variety of his activities-ranging from classical chamber music to the Klezmatics, Klezmer Madness!, original compositions and collaborations with Berio, Zorn and Cage-illustrate a remarkable life in music.

Please see socalledmusic.com and sherylbailey.com for more information about the other performers.

We hope you will join us in negotiating a space for the study and practice of Yiddish folk arts and expanding the definition of Jewish living.

SOLO DUO MONTH

ISSUE Project Room hosts Solo Duo Month during March 2006. The program is a perfect marriage between the acoustics of the space and the excellence of these particular performers. The sets alternate acoustic musicianship with the artist's use of our existing sound installation of Stephan Moore's 16 Channel Hemipherical Speakers, creating a foundation for interaction between the musicians, their instruments, new technology and the audience.
