 Budapest Klezmer BandThe Budapest Klezmer Band was founded in 1990 in the heart of Central Europe where the Jewish folk music Klezmer was born long ago. The orchestra plays phenomenal arrangements, which are the handwriting of the orchestra leader and pianist Ferenc Jávori. Jávori is one of Europe's finest klezmer music connoisseurs, who learned this fascinating style of music as he grew up in Munkács, which currently belongs to the Ukraine, together with some old musicians of the Jewish community. Most of the band's musicians are graduates from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music of Budapest, and are the most skilled Hungarian masters of their own instruments. The Budapest Klezmer Band has played at more than a hundred European music festivals. Wherever the band plays, it attracts attention and the listeners’ astonished admiration with their skill and the exciting sounds of Klezmer music. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences awarded the band in 2000 the prestigious Zoltán Kodály Cultural Prize for its work in conservation and development of the Jewish musical tradition.
