Itay Dayan's Klezmer Quintet presents a unique program of both classic and contemporary klezmer music, featuring special additions for the High Holidays. The core of the program performed by these five talented musicians from the klezmer world and beyond is Dayan's new album, Hoffman's Farewell. This album draws inspiration from The Hoffman Book, a collection of klezmer tunes curated in 1927 by musician Joseph Hoffman and preserved privately within his family.
In 2023, Hoffman's great-grandchild, Susan Hoffman-Watts, along with Hankus Netsky and other scholars, decided to publish the book. As a student of Netsky, Dayan was inspired by the book's release and created Hoffman's Farewell, which features both traditional and unique arrangements of the tunes.
