PHILIPPE SLY AND THE CHIMERA PROJECT

KLEZMER WINTERREISE

Philippe Sly and the Chimera Project present a collaborative exploration of Schubert’s final masterpiece that blurs the line between concert and theater. The song cycle is newly arranged for violin, clarinet, trombone and accordion, a traditional klezmer ensemble. The ethos of the klezmer style is steeped in pungent harmonies, folk inspired melodies and aching solo lines. Its association with the nomadic spirit, makes it an ideal genre to conjure contact with Schubert’s wandering narrator.
