Take 3 former NZSO players, an Arts Laureate composer, a sensational bass player, a divine singer and you have the Kugels! The ensemble has been together for 10 years now, and has completed nationwide tours for Arts on Tour NZ, Chamber Music New Zealand, and performed as guest artists at several NZ festivals.
With passion and sensitivity, the Kugels play traditional Klezmer music and original works by their in-house Arts Laureate composer/accordionist Ross Harris. Klezmer music is the folk music of Jewish people from Eastern and Central Europe and is currently enjoying a worldwide rebirth of interest and popularity.
