A professional Sydney string quartet that plays Jewish music in a classical idiom.

The Leonora Ensemble under the musical directorship of Janet Silverton, is classically trained and its repertoire includes substantial Jewish/Yiddish arrangements for trio and string quartet with the option of flute.

The Leonora Ensemble is quite unique in this field, as it is not a 'Klezmer band' but a classical group that also performs authentic Jewish repertoire in the classical idiom.

The ensemble has released a CD of Jewish music called 'CLASSIC STRING SIMCHA'. It features a range of music that includes arrangements of Yiddish, Israeli and popular Jewish tunes.

Contact Janet at 0417 657178 or email janet_helen@iprimus.com.au for enquiries regarding bookings or obtaining the CD.
