KlezDuo was my attempt to bring together two musical worlds that are very important to me as a performer, but that in general have little to do with one another: klezmer music, and my bass clarinet duo, Sqwonk. Klezmer music is the soulful traditional music of Eastern European Jews, while Sqwonk is my bass clarinet duo dedicated to cutting edge new concert music for two bass clarinets. It was great fun to combine these elements together into this raucous and joyous piece.
