  Klezmer Company Orchestra

     

The Klezmer Company Orchestra (KCO) was founded by Aaron Kula in 1997 with a mission to perform world music from a wide range of cultures and historical periods. KCO, serves as the professional ensemble-in-residence at Florida Atlantic University Libraries, and features accomplished jazz and classical musicians. The ensemble defies classification with its high-energy performances and diverse programming. KCO features core soloists with orchestral personnel that varies depending on the repertoire for each concert. The popular ensemble has performed before thousands at sold-out concerts and has received critical acclaim for its innovative musical fusion. KCO’s third CD “Beyond The Tribes” was released in 2008 and featured world music from the FAU Jewish Music Archives in Special Collections.
