The London Klezmer Quartet is a dynamic group of performers whose deep understanding of klezmer, the celebratory and soulful music of Eastern European Jews, is reflected in exuberant, passionate and accomplished performances that captivate audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

“Virtuosity, exciting original tunes and soulful playing. What’s not to like?” Songlines Magazine

“I like the London Klezmer Quartet, and I like their album.” BBC DJ Max Reinhardt

“The tradition is safe in their hands.” Sunday Times

They perform old and new traditional material guaranteed to move audiences from toe-tapping to tears and back again in moments

LKQ was formed in 2009 by a group of klezmer specialists keen to explore the almost-lost wedding music tradition of Jewish eastern Europe. The band was swiftly picked up by some of the UK’s foremost folk & world music promoters and offered stages for the group’s unique combination of artistry and exuberance. They have played many UK venues in the south of England and Wales and toured four times to Australia.
