New Yiddish Theatrical Concert
March 26 at 1PM & 6PM
pleytem tsuzamen
(Refugees Together)
An all-star cast consisting of some of the most creative singers and instrumentalists of the global Yiddish scene bring us a theatrical concert that combines traditional Yiddish genres (hymns, ballads, nigunim, lullabies, love songs, and drinking songs) with new tunes and lyrics that tell of the dangerous, challenging epoch of world history in which we are now living.
