13, chemin des mandarines
By KLEZMIC ZIRKUS

Just drop in at the 13, Chemin des Mandarines ; the light is soft and welcoming. A poetic song crosses the nearby rue des Pierres. One can hear in the far, the frantic brass of a freylach, the eclectic sounds of Montreal, some ritornellos with their memories still full of eastern Europe. A journey in Klezmic Zirkus ‘s contrasted world. Here or there. Yesterday or today. Eyes half shut or wide open. It doesn’t matter, the intensity does.

As years have been passing by, Klezmic Zirkus (Aurélie Charneux : clarinets et compositions, Julien de Borman : accordion, Adrien Lambinet : trombone, Pierre Greco : double-bass and guitar, Wouter Roggemans : drums ) has created its own idiom, which has patiently matured during some 150 public performances. Klezmic Zirkus finds its identity between tradition and modernity, structure and improvisation. Its unbridled rythms apeal to the body, its soulfull melodies to the heart, its sometimes elaborated structures to the mind. It’s musicians sincerity and sinergy are delightfull to see over and over.
