SHIR - "song, poem" in Hebrew
"Shir
provides a harmony of shalom and happiness, and combines virtuosity with
accessibility"

About Shir
Shir is the complete Jewish music group:
Klezmer, Israeli, Yiddish, Sephardi, Mizrachi, Ladino and Simcha
Formed in 1997 by Maurice
Chernick the group has become a major
force on the UK Jewish music scene performing concerts and fulfilling the
original function of the
Klezmorim – entertaining at
Simchas - Jewish parties.
Coming from different musical backgrounds (classical, jazz and gypsy folk), the
four musicians of SHIR meet to provide a spontaneous, energetic
and soulful musical experience.
Shir attempts to be as true as
possible to the original sound of the Klezmorim using acoustic
instruments and drawing on the original Klezmer, Traditional, Yiddish and
Sephardi repertoire, while at the
same time catering for more “up to date” tastes in
Jewish music
with popular Israeli folk and dance tunes.
