January 18, Sunday, Washington DC: The New Klezmer Quintet was invited to participate in the festivities during the presidential inaugural weekend, performing on stage at the Indian Museum on the Washington Mall on Sunday, this past January 18th. The committee searched through hundreds of band prospects from around the world who perform music from India, Africa, Russia, Europe, South America and many other countries. One band was selected from each category. It was quite a show, as we shared the stage with this incredible list of other artists. The event was simulcast on Television and podcast through the website of the Smithsonian Institution.

We are the New Klezmer Quintet, a group of musicians who have been performing on average more than 30 years. We play Jewish, Sephardic, Israeli, Ladino, and even American Jazz and Rock & Roll. When performing for parties or weddings, we commonly play under our original name, The Kol Haruach Klezmer Band. For concerts, or for when we are performing for the general public, we go by the name The New Klezmer Quintet. So, when you think of us, keep in mind that we play under two names, one that is very well known in ethnic circles (when playing private parties), and the other, a name the general public can easily understand (for performances open to the general public). We invite you to come out and see us in concert, with all of our eclectic repertoire. Our performances usually attract a large audience.

So, if you are looking for a Klezmer party band with a specialty in Jewish, Israeli and even Swing music, we invite you to visit the site of our sister band, www.KolHaruach.com. However, if you are looking for a very versatile Klezmer or Jewish band to mix it up for a concert or public showcase, this website is where you want to be. Either name will bring you a great band, great music and a wonderful evening!

The band has just completed (2008) its debut album, entitled "Unexpected Joy -- The New Klezmer Quintet -- Live In Concert With Ramon Tasat".  Selections from this concert were performed at Strathmore Music Hall, December 16, 2007. The recording includes selections from this concert.  To hear clips from this new release, see our sound clips page.
