Grammy® Award-Winning The Klezmatics Makes Segerstrom Center Debut in The Klezmatics’ Happy Joyous Hanukah, Lyrics by Woody Guthrie

This Hanukah season, Segerstrom Center for the Arts welcomes superstars of the klezmer world, the Klezmatics on December 22 in Samueli Theater. The Klezmatics from East Village make their way to Orange County for a special concert featuring the band’s unique 21^st century approach to the venerable klezmer tradition. This tour also marks the band’s 30^th anniversary.

The program includes selections from two albums where the Klezmatics provide the music to Woody Guthrie’s unpublished lyrics, Woody Guthrie’s Happy Joyous Hanukah and the Grammy Award-winning world music album, Wonder Wheel: Lyrics by Woody Guthrie. “A complete joy…Guthrie’s lyrics are transformed from dust-gathers to living, breathing, vital pieces of music…Woody’s Jewish in-laws would certainly have been proud,” states All Music Guide.

The evening also features songs from their latest album, Apikorsim-Heretics. (Please note the venue change from the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall to Samueli Theater).
