Klezmer 2016 – It’s about Klezmer and much more!

As Tsfat gears up for the Klezmer Festival by building outdoor stages, painting, cleaning the streets and installing sophisticated sound and lighting, there is a great buzz in this usually sleepy mountain town.
This year, there will be 35 musicians and bands playing in 70 concerts on five outdoor stages across town. All in three nights! But did you know that aside from these three exciting nights of free concerts on five outdoor stages, there are other fun, free activities to do in Tsfat?

Every afternoon before Klezmer, head to the Tsfat Academic College to hear experts talk about history and archeology. A choice of lectures take place every afternoon just before the Klezmer festival music begins. Hear researchers, professors, historians and archeologists from the college present their findings.
