Oy vey mame

about love and marriage

 

 

 

 



"Play musicians! Accompany the bride.
Play, musicians, play our tears.”
From the song “Three daughters” by M. Gebirtig




A wedding celebration; a klezmer orchestra;

where the music which accompanies the festivities are confused with the engagement songs,  where the mother gives her advice and the father expresses his regrets, in the midst of the marriage broker’s shrewdness, but where love triumphs in the end.

A repertoire of instrumental music and songs
that speak of love and marriage, an immersion into a world that no longer exists.  This world reaches us through the emotional magnificence of music and influences us with its inborn and melancholy genuineness.
