These guys are talented beyond belief. They play recorders, clarinet, harmonica, drums, accordion, and piano in ways you have never even dreamed of.
Oh yes, and sing. And whistle.
They have been performing together for 28 years, work improvisationally, and play as if they were one person. They are completely understated, almost workmanlike as they go about their business, playing one amazing number after another.
My friend insisted I go hear Lerner-Moguilevsky, although it was hard to grasp why he thought it was so important. The entire audience was rapt -- but I still find it hard to describe. Only there's no way I'd miss them next time they are in town.

Original compositions, most of the time, with references to classic Klezmer. The inventiveness and multiplicity of instruments justifies a return attendance for these guys!

This was a great show. the opening number made me think I would not stay through intermission (there was none) but I soon warmed up to the music and couldn't wait to get to the lobby after the performance to buy both the cds that they had for sale. I have nothing but respect and awe for performers as multi-talented as they are. Go see them if you have a chance!!!!!!!!!!!

They’ve been wowing audiences around the world for over a decade. With uncanny ability, the duo trades instruments and grabs onto the melody, improvising backward and forward to put an original spin on the klezmorim of old.
Two decades ago Lerner and Moguilevsky formed a prolific duo making an important contribution and opening new trends in popular instrumental music.
Born of Russian and Polish granparents who immigrated to Argentina at the turn of the century, they have contributed to the recreation of Klezmer style since 1996 without anthropological pretension. On the contrary, they have developped their own language based on improvisation, combining musical elements from Argentinian folk music, jazz, contemporary music, and tango.
Their four CDs describe a journey from the more evocative Klezmer in Buenos Aires, 1997, passing through the homage to the first jewish settlers in Argentina with Basavilbaso, 1999, to arrive to their third album, Shtil, 2001, probably the most intimate of them all, where the inspired improvisations reach a level that creates innovations for this kind of music. The last of them Sobreviviente recorded a life at the temple of "Libertad" in Buenos Aires
Music composers for film, theatre and dance, they have collaborated with musicians of different styles and used this wide aesthetic background to create a distinct version of Klezmer in each concert.
