Svigals is the world's foremost klezmer (East European Jewish
music) fiddler. Almost singlehandedly, Svigals revived this
tradition that had been on the brink of extinction until the
1997 release of her debut CD <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">Fidl</i>. As a founding member of the Grammy-award
winning band the Klezmatics, Svigals created contemporary Jewish
music that combined the joyous and mystical Yiddish tradition
with a postmodern aesthetic and a political worldview. She
toured with the Klezmatics for 17 years, recording albums that
reached the Top Ten of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Billboard</i> and European
World Music Charts. Svigals has also taught and toured with
violinist Itzhak Perlman; performed in Eve Ensler's Vagina
Monologues at Madison Square Garden; composed for the Kronos
Quartet; has been featured on NPR, A Prairie Home Companion; and
performs extensively throughout North America and
internationally. A composer who works in many genres, Svigals is
a 2014 Fellow at the MacDowell Colony.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
