Klezmerata Fiorentina is a quartet of principal players from one of the leading Italian operatic and symphonic orchestras - the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. Formed in 2005 by Igor Polesitsky, violinist, with Riccardo Crocilla, clarinet, Francesco Furlanich, accordionist and bassonist,and Riccardo Donati, double bass player, their work is a reinterpretation of music from the southern frontier of Ukraine. Varied and exciting, the music is influenced by Balkan, gypsy, Turkish and Yiddish traditions, which coexisted over the centuries on the vast territories along the shores of the Black Sea.

I bought their CD "Fifteen Variations on the Theme of Life" and look forward to playing it for our friends!
