The Klezmatics live in Plauen

Experience The Klezmatics live on November 6th

The Klezmatics will perform at Malzhaus in Plauen, Germany on November 6, 2026. The Klezmatics are a New York City-based musical group renowned for their innovative approach to klezmer music. Their style blends traditional Eastern European Jewish instrumental and vocal music with elements of jazz, funk, rock, and world music influences. Formed in 1983, they are considered pioneers in the klezmer revival movement, expanding the genre beyond its traditional forms while maintaining its cultural roots. They frequently incorporate original compositions alongside interpretations of classic klezmer pieces and Yiddish songs.

Malzhaus Plauen is a cultural center situated in a former malt house – hence its name – dating back to the late 19th century. Originally constructed for the production of malt for brewing, the building underwent extensive renovation in the early 2000s to transform it into a venue for diverse artistic events. It now functions as a multi-purpose space hosting concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, and workshops. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to showcasing a wide range of artistic disciplines, supporting both regional and international artists.
