Semer Ensemble Tickets

Semer Ensemble is a standout project in the world of classical and Yiddish-infused music, blending archival material with contemporary arrangements. The lineup features a dynamic mix of talents, including Alan Bern on piano and accordion, Daniel Kahn, Lorin Sklamberg, Sasha Lurje, Fabian Schnedler, Mark Kovnatskiy, Paul Brody, and Martin Lillich. The ensemble’s work sits at the intersection of klezmer, classical nuance, and New Jewish Music, performing songs from Berlin’s 1920s–30s Jewish scene in Yiddish, German, Hebrew, and Russian.

With a approach built on reviving nearly lost pieces from the Semer label (1933–1938), the group weaves historical material with fresh, inventive arrangements. Their releases and projects honor the recovered works and bring them to contemporary audiences through live performances and film documentation.

Stay informed about forthcoming performances, press appearances, and project updates via Semer Ensemble’s official channels, and consider catching their distinct interpretation of a pivotal moment in Jewish musical history when you see them live.

Discography to date centers on one standout album, Rescued Treasure – Live At Gorki Berlin (2016), released by Piranha Records and recorded live at Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin in 2015. The ensemble’s work extends beyond recordings to film, with I Dance, But My Heart Is Crying documenting their process; screenings are planned in German cinemas. A notable North American tour in 2017 covered Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, as reported by The Canadian Jewish News. For fans and newcomers alike, Semer Ensemble offers a compelling portal into a historically rich repertoire performed with modern sensitivity and warmth.
