Der Heisser is a Klezmer collective hailing from Kjipuktuk/Halifax. It was founded in 2011 by Gina Burgess and Adam Fine, and has been pumping out a vibrant mix of klezmer, balkan, jazz, and Roma music ever since. Featuring a rotating cast of the best musicians on Canada’s East Coast, Der Heisser brings its trademark energy to contemporary versions of European folk music, as well as its own innovative compositions. Always fresh and exciting, Der Heisser takes traditional musical threads and weaves them into new cloth. Led by Gina Burgess’ violin, the collective includes Sageev Oore (keys), Greg Woolner (drum kit), Ross Burns (guitar, percussion), and Adam Fine (bass).
Members bring together chops from all over the musical landscape, from jazz to classical, from world beat to funk. Der Heisser is yiddish for “the hot one” and you can count on each of their shows being just that!
