Chutzpah! Festival 2024 Brochure

OPENING WEEKEND EVENT

Kommuna Lux (Ukraine) November 2 | 7pm The Pearl

Presented in Partnership with Caravan World Rhythms This festive evening of world music brings Ukrainian klezmer sensations Kommuna Lux to Chutzpah! to kick off our opening weekend with a rousing, danceable concert event. This award-winning music collective performs in their own unique style, which they call “Odesa Urban Folk”, thrilling klezmer music and common gangster folk songs from their hometown. This multicultural port city of Odesa is world-famous for its significant Jewish culture and for being the birthplace of the Urban Chanson genre with streets that are rich with nostalgia and a bohemian Black Sea coastal vibe. These musical influences are set to a timeless new level by the vibrant performances of lead singer Bagrat Tsurkan and his band of virtuoso musicians. Kommuna Lux plays joyful songs and melodies from Odesa and all Eastern Europe in spiced up arrangements that will keep you dancing all night long. Sponsored by Community Partner RBC.
