This is a
comfortable venue and children are welcome! Hermann’s has a full,
licensed restaurant with a tasty menu. Come on down for dinner and
dancing.
The Klez play the celebratory music of the Jews from around the world, both
Klezmer and Sephardic, and the music of their neighbours in the Middle East and Eastern
Europe. Born at the crossroads of many civilizations, Klezmer music
includes the haunting qualities of Jewish, Balkan, Turkish, Eastern European,
Greek and Gypsy music. Alluring rhythms and exotic modes can change several
times, even within one song. The melodies often combine happy and sad themes
that reflect the nature of life.
The Klez is now a six piece klezmer band, with the addition of Rainer Grant Roth
on the clarinet.
