The Balcony Players are an energetic, nomadic band whose mission is to make everyone in the world happy and to encourage them to dance. The individual band members come from the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and the USA. Their music blends these different cultures into a mix of traditional Gypsy music, klezmer and folk. This results in a unique and colorful sound that simply delights. In May 2009, the band was formed in Holland and initially played on their balcony - hence the name. Since then, the 5 musicians have toured the world playing numerous festivals all over Europe, Brazil, Israel and the USA. In order to experience the places where they perform in person, they play on the street, meet people while couchsurfing and get to know the respective music and culture. Violinist Moniek joined them on stage at the Jerusalem Klezmer Union concert at ITF in May 2016. On their latest CD, "Balcony Adventures Around the World" (2014), they recorded original compositions inspired by their travels and the folk songs they hear on tour. The group is also socially engaged: Their CDs are made from recycled materials, they donate a portion of the proceeds to charitable projects, and they play for children in refugee camps.
