Alicia Svigals, klezmer violinist and Klezmatics founder, to curate shows at John Zorn's The Stone in April.

From an electronic violist turning Bartok on his head to the lightning speed of traditional Bulgarian fiddling; from a master of the traditional klezmer clarinet to spontaneous 21st century keyboard explorations of those ancient melodies, the month is a feast of the most interesting music coming out of New York and beyond.The Socalled Seder: Thursday March 22 at The Cobden Club, 170 Kensal Road, London.
