Manchester
Michael Kahan Kapelye
The fourteenth generation of the university’s resident klezmer ensemble returns to perform a vibrant programme of arrangements of music originating in Eastern European Yiddish cultures.
Named after Michael Kahan, a Manchester-based musician who was tragically killed by a paranoid schizophrenic in June 2008 outside the State Fayre kosher bakery in Crumpsall.
With his then duo partner (in The Klezmer Gourmets), Ros Hawley, Michael planned to create a student-based ensemble before his untimely demise.
His dream was fulfilled when the ensemble celebrating his memory was founded, with the support and approval of his family, in spring 2011 by Ros and Richard Fay.
