Shir
SHIR is a London, UK-based quartet playing Jewish music from Eastern Europe, Israel, and the Middle East.

Formed in 1997 by Maurice Chernick, the group has become a major force on the UK Jewish music scene performing concerts and fulfilling the original function of the Klezmorim – entertaining at Simchas - Jewish parties.

Coming from different musical backgrounds (classical, jazz and gypsy folk), the four musicians of SHIR meet to provide a spontaneous, energetic, and soulful musical experience.

Shir attempts to be as true as possible to the original sound of the Klezmorim using acoustic instruments and drawing on the original Klezmer, Traditional, Yiddish, and Sephardic repertoire, while at the same time catering for more “up to date” tastes in Jewish music with popular Israeli folk and dance tunes.

Shir are:
Maurice Chernick - Clarinet, Vocals
Ivor Goldberg - Guitar, Vocals
Piotr Jordan - Violin
Steve Rose - Bass
