Jewish Music

is a big part of my life, and it's often in center of what I do. For some reason.

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Israeli clarinetist Itay Dayan is considered one of today’s most promising voices in klezmer music. With his broad attitude, Itay brings together various influences, creating a sound that cherishes tradition while exploring new musical frontiers.
His album, "Hoffman's Farewell", demonstrates that direction exactly, and was recently chosen by WBUR as one of the best local albums of 2024.
Itay played with various groups such as the Klezmer Conservatory Band, Meitar Ensemble and the Israel Klezmer Orchestra, with which he has toured internationally.
While studying for his M.Mus at New England Conservatory and his B.Mus at the Jerusalem Academy of Music, Itay won scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, Ronen Foundation, Ima Foundation, and the Zvi and Ofra Meitar Family Foundation. Notably, Itay is a recipient of the Siday Fellowship for Musical Creativity by the Jerusalem Institute of Contemporary Music, and of the Peter Row Global Musician Award.
