David Orlowsky Trio

"The David Orlowsky Trio" (previously "David Orlowsky’s Klezmorim") is the 2008 ECHO Classical Prizewinner in the category "Classical without Boundaries". The musicians received this award for their highly-calibred and innovative CD-debut "Noema", which appeared on SONY CLASSICAL in 2007.

"David Orlowsky's Klezmorim" was founded in 1997 by David Orlowsky and Florian Dohrmann, now the band features also Jens-Uwe Popp.
The young musicians represent a highly cultivated and progressive style of music, which they title "chamber.world.music". 

David Orlowsky (born in 1981, Tuebingen)
David began his musical training at the age of 10 as a percussionist, and changed to the clarinet three years later. 
He has played together with such artists as Gidon Kremer, Giora Feidman and Marcia Haydee and has appeared at a number of major festivals, e.g. the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Rheingau Music Festival and Gidon Kremer’s legendary Lockenhaus Festival 2005. He studied Classical clarinet at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen and is currently a student of Charles Neidich at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. 

Jens-Uwe Popp (born in 1967, Rendsburg)
Jens-Uwe studied Classical guitar in Lübeck and Hamburg. He has won several prizes in international chamber music competitions, and has worked together with such well-known artists as Efim Jourist, Christiane Edinger, Ulrich Tukur and Dominique Horwitz. He has been a member of the Giora Feidman Trio for many years, and gives concerts all over the world. Since 2005 he has been a member of the ensemble “David Orlowsky’s Klezmorim” to-gether with David Orlowsky and Florian Dohrmann. 

Florian Dohrmann (born in 1972, Tuebingen) 
Florian studied the double-bass at the Stuttgart College of Music, where his teachers were Thomas Stabenow and Dieter Ilg. He gradually developed his jazz-influenced style of composition, which plays a central role in the music of David Orlowsky’s Klezmorim. 2003 saw the successful première of his commission programme "Organ + Klezmer" in the Dortmund Konzerthaus, and the following year the publishing house Advance Music published a selection of his compositions in the collection "Klezmania".
