"Every Soul breezes - the musician becomes the "instrument of the song", in hebrew KLEZMER. This stands for the idea of understanding music as the expression of life."

The TRIO EMANUEL plays music from around the world in that spirit.

The arrangements for clarinet, guitar and cello make the music sound fresh and intimate at the same time.

A range of emotions is being explored from melancholy to sensuality to amusement and joyousness.

The trio started out in 1997 to bring this music to the people.

shortinfo
The hebrew word "Klezmer" melts "Kle" (vessel) und "Zemer" (song) . When a "Klezmer" plays, he becomes the instrument of the song. Not he himself is in the center of interest, he merely passes the music to the listeners. Formerly, the Klezmorim were jewish traveling musicians from eastern Europe, playing on celebrations. Their repertoire included liturgical melodies, jiddish songs and chassidic dances - deeply religious but also very agile. For a broader look at the history: http://www.princeton.edu/~klez/klezmerdispensers.shtml

The Trio Emanuel, founded in 1997, draws from the richness of melodies of a tradition older than 3000 years. The concept of Klezmer is to understand music from the plentyness of cultures as an expression of life. In all their opposites, the colours of human feelings are being explored - anxiety and hope, crying and rejoicing, pleasure and pain. All the music, be it songs, dances or ballads, have been arranged by the Trio Emanuel.
