Kleztory is a Klezmer - and World Music - Ensemble , which was founded in 2000 and in Montreal in Canada is established. While remaining respectful of the rich legacy of klezmer, Kleztory takes the liberty of arranging parts of the traditional repertoire. This gives your music its own personal uniqueness and note. Kleztory is influenced by many sources of inspiration, including jazz , classical, gypsy jazz , country music , folk and blues . The ensemble received the Opus Prize in 2007 for the best jazz / world music album of the year in Québec for nomads and the Fürth Klezmer Prize at the 3rd International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam in 2012.

The current members are Elvira Misbakhova ( violin ), Airat Ichmouratov ( clarinet , bass clarinet , Duclar), Mark Peetsma ( double bass ), Dany Nicolas ( guitar ) and Melanie Bergeron ( accordion ).
