Event
Film: The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground
Houstonians will remember filmmaker Erik Greenberg Anjou's intimate look at Cantor Jack Mendelsohn in the film, A Cantor's Tale. Once again, Anjou delves deep into the lives of extraordinary musicians as individuals and together as the 2006 Grammy Award Winning New York based band, The Klezmatics. Although best known for klezmer music--a vibrant genre that mixes Yiddish culture with folk beats, their Grammy was awarded for Best World Music category for their first English language album, Wonder Wheel: Lyrics by Woody Gurthrie. On Holy Ground documents the band's journey to become a global sensation. The film shows how they redefined Jewish music for over two decades and follows the ups and downs of live shows. It highlights stories of the band members' lives unrelated to music--battling middle age, raising families while working, and getting along with bandmates.
