Klezmokum Foundation
& Greene Room
The Klezmokum Foundation was established in 2006 by American jazz pianist Burton Greene.
In the years that followed, many concerts were organized with the support of the Jewish Maror Funds. In June 2021, Burton passed away at the age of 84, and it was his express wish that the foundation continue its musical activities in his spirit. To that end, the foundation’s name and statutes have been amended, and a new location has been rented at:
Elementenstraat 16 in Amsterdam-West, where Burton’s memory can be kept alive through exhibitions, workshops, living room concerts, and guest performances.
ATZKO KOHASHI & TONY OVERWATER + MICHAEL MOORE
21 September 2025
The duo of Atzko Kohashi (piano) and Tony Overwater (double bass) masterfully creates a unique sonic world with subtle intensity and musicality, where space, silence, and interplay take center stage. For this special concert, they are joined by clarinetist Michael Moore, whose lyrical playing adds an extra dimension to the repertoire.
Together, they perform music from their recently released album Porgy, inspired by I Loves You, Porgy from Porgy and Bess. In response to this remarkable composition, they wrote original pieces that together form an homage to Gershwin’s original work.
