A highlight of their career has been performing at the Calgary Folk Music Festival in 1995. The imaginative instrumental arrangements focus on the virtuoso klezmer fiddle. Their songs breathe the poetic power of the yiddish language.
Different streams flow together also in the klezmermusic of the group.
Stunning are their musical roamings across the borders of the genre. Archaic elements alternate with avantgardistic ones, ritual elements with the yiddish musical, tango with klezmer. The Temple Sinai Klezmer Band consists of fourteen musicians who belong to Temple Sinai in Newington, Connecticut. We've been together for over five years and have built up a strong local following playing our repertoire of classic klezmer and Yiddish theater and folk music. We have appeared on local television, played for Hartford's First Night celebration and have played at numerous colleges throughout the area.
