NEWS 2019
Anne Kalmering & Stahlhammer Klezmer Classic just released the album Vayter, ”ahead, forward” in Yiddish, where they pass on Jewish folk songs and music in Yiddish and Ladino.
Vayter is their debut album despite years of performances where they entertained and touched audiences on large and small scenes.
The album shows the width of the klezmer music - Jewish folk music meets chamber music, theater and ghettosongs in suggestive and playful arrangements. The instrumentation is classic for its genre - song, violin, accordion and cello - but the expression multifaceted.

Anne Kalmering & Stahlhammer Klezmer Classic
In 1920 the grandfather of one of Sweden’s most apraised violinists, Semmy Stahlhammer, founded The Stahlhammer Ensemble in Poland. During the Holocaust all members were killed except one. Semmy grew up in Sweden to become one of Scandinavia’s leading violinists, and has brought this grandfathers old ensemble to life with new members: Isabel Blommé (cello) and Miriam Oldenburg (accordion).
