Biography:
 
Clarinetist David Krakauer has mastered a myriad styles, including classical chamber music, Eastern European Klezmer music, the avant-garde, rock and jazz. He is a natural storyteller who has long dazzled colleagues and the public with his ability to shift and meld musical gears.

Krakauer is in demand worldwide as a guest soloist with the finest chamber music groups. Recent collaborations have included the Tokyo String Quartet, the Eroica Trio, the Kronos Quartet, the Lark Quartet, the Mendelssohn String Quartet and the Empire Brass Quintet. Programs ranged from Brahms and Bartok to Schoenberg and Golijov.

As one of the foremost musicians of the vital new wave of Klezmer, David Krakauer tours the globe with his celebrated Klezmer Madness! Ensemble. While firmly rooted in traditional Klezmer folk tunes, the band also pays homage to R&B, jazz, classical and funk.

His discography contains some of the most important Klezmer recordings of the past decade. His first release on the prestigious French jazz label Label Bleu, A New Hot One garnered France's prestigious Diapason d'Or Prize and has been hailed a masterwork by the International Herald Tribune, Le Mond, T?l?rama, Jazzman, Jazz magazine and Les Inrockuptibles. His CD The Twelve Tribes was released in the U.S. in the Fall of 2002.
