Pavel Shalman & Boki Radenkovic feat. Benjy Fox-Rosen – Klezmer & Us

Pavel Shalman and Boki Radenkovic both come from musical families and were taught by their fathers at an early age. Today, they share a boundless passion for music in all its facets. Their compositions draw from a rich reservoir of cultural influences: from the Balkans and Eastern Europe to Latin America, as well as Central European traditions – Klezmer, Tango, classical music, and jazz merge into a vibrant soundscape. The two have no fear of crossing boundaries: improvisation is a central stylistic device, musical limits are playfully transcended, conventions are questioned, and traditions are honored – everything is possible, nothing is forbidden. In their new program "Klezmer & Us," Shalman and Radenkovic connect personal childhood memories with contemporary sounds. With virtuosity, subtle humor, and deep emotion, they transport the audience into the sound world of Jewish Eastern Europe – rich in detail, surprising, and profoundly alive.
