Klezmer-Konzert mit Francesca Ter-Berg

Francesca Ter-Berg 

Back to the Present 

A Contemporary Concert of Klezmer Music and Yiddish Song 

Francesca is a cellist and composer known for her unique style which blends Klezmer, Improvisation and electronic synthesis. She is known for her unique Klezmer cello style and for her collaboration with critically acclaimed duo Fran & Flora. Staying true to the present and always wishing to explore new avenues and musical territories, Francesca brings her studies and research in traditional music to a new direction combining cello, voice, improvisation and live electronics to explore tunes, songs and modes from this rich musical tradition. 

Francesca's approach to playing Klezmer and Romanian traditional music is also heavily influenced by her mentors, most notably Tcha Limberger, Frank London, Alan Bern, Travels in Transylvania and the archival recordings she has collected and transcribed. She released her debut EP In Eynem in 2021 on the Phantom Limb label (Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp + Quietus Best Releases of 2021) an is one-half of the critically acclaimed string duo Fran & Flora who’s debut album Unfurl (’19) was critically acclaimed, appearing on Woman’s Hour, Cerys Matthews BBC6music show and GWR Cosmo. Their 2nd self-produced album Precious Collection is released in April 2024 on Hidden Notes Records. Francesca writes for film and TV, and and collaborates with Imogen Heap, Tom Skinner, Frank London, Portico Quartet and Ziah Ziah. Commissions include the Turner Contemporary and Margate NOW Festival.
