Amsterdam Klezmer Band - 30 Years
About the event
The mission of the Amsterdam Klezmer Band has been simple for three decades: to celebrate life with music, together with as many different people as possible. The band makes no distinction between genres, styles, origin, religion, or politics. And it does so with a lively mix of klezmer, Balkan, jazz, Oriental music, and a touch of hip-hop. Tonight, the Amsterdam Klezmer Band celebrates its thirtieth anniversary with a festive concert in the Kleine Zaal! Amsterdam Klezmer Band
