It was a big weekend for the Klezmer Rebs. Welcoming Urs from Taranaki, Emma from Auckland and Amanda from Gisborne we navigated CubaDupa’s thousands and played a lively set Saturday at Hannah’s Courtyard, followed by a 45 minute roam through the Cuba district spreading klezmer joy! What a wonderful reception on the streets! Then Sunday we performed a special one off concert at Futuna Chapel where we were able to play some delicate and beautiful melodies in a resonant space. Here are some fotos from the gigs.
After 10 days on the road in the South Island, Wellingtonians get their chance to see the Rebs perform live.
First up is CubaDupa on Saturday 27 March. The Rebs do a mid afternoon set at Hannah’s Courtyard Stage, and then becoming roaming klezmorim bringing klezmer tunes up, down and around Cuba Street.
