READ MORE

pleytem tsuzamen / REFUGEES TOGETHER – a new Yiddish theatrical concert – music and lyrics by Josh Waletzky, book by Jeyn Levison, directed by Michael Barakiva – is making its U.S. premiere in NYC on March 26.

Yiddish singers and actors – Daniel Kahn, Svetlana Kundish, Sasha Lurje, Polina Shepherd and Joshua Waletzky.

Band – Merlin Shepherd, Polina Shepherd, Ilya Shneyveys, Jake Shulman-Ment , Beth Silver and Deborah Strauss.

Pleytem Tsuzamen (Refugees Together) is a call for solidarity with those who are most threatened. Confronting our current reality, the songs present a dynamic fusion of traditional forms with the social, political, and personal challenges posed by the world today — and they embody the power of music to foster the courage we need to “link arms and take to the streets together against bloodshed and hatred.”

Diaspora: Jewish Music of Longing and Celebration
The Met Fifth Avenue The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium
Polina Shepherd is one of the featured singers in Exile: Music of the Jewish & African Diasporas – a programme by the Grammy winning International Baroque Orchestra Apollo’s Fire (Cleveland, Ohio).
“Expelled from their homes and scattered across the earth, exiled peoples have often found strength and resilience in their music. This new programme… celebrates the interwoven connections of the Sephardic, Ashkenazy, Palestinian and African traditions.”
Apollo’s Fire, led by conductor-harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell, has garnered praise for its “ingenious programme[s]” and “superlative music-making” (The Daily Telegraph). The GRAMMY®-winning ensemble has sold out performances at Carnegie Hall, the BBC Proms, the Tanglewood Festival, and the Royal Theatre of Madrid, among others. Returning to The Met for the first time in three years, they present a thrilling mélange of music—both familiar and recently discovered—from Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewish traditions, plus selections from Baroque Italy’s small, but mighty community of Jewish composers.
Tickets start at $35 ($30 + $5 service fee)
MetLiveArts tickets include Museum admission on the day of the event. For more information, call 212-570-3949 or email meteventtix@metmuseum.org.

Online - Powerful Yiddish Song course, The Workers Circle-5
2023-03-01 13:30 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Online – Powerful Yiddish Song course, The Workers Circle.
Wednesdays 1:30 – 3 PM New York Time: February 1, 8, 15, 22 and March 1.
One poem – many melodies. How often does this happen in Yiddish song and why? A Nigndl by Shike Driz has been set to at least three melodies, Fun Yener Zayt Lid by Rokhl Korn has at least five modern versions. How does the music support, twist and turn the meaning of the poem? A different tune can radically influence the way we experience the words.
This mini-course invites you to explore and learn these songs, discuss their musical styles and simply enjoy singing them.
All singers are welcome, although you will need to be able to follow written music or be open to learning by ear.
Book here.

Yiddish Folk Singing Workshop - Brighton
2023-02-20 19:00 - 21:00 UTC
Register here (free)
This event is open and free to absolutely anyone and everyone – it doesn’t matter whether you love Yiddish or have never heard of it before! Expect a wonderful night of communal singing and insight into the unique sounds of Yiddish Folklore.
IMPORTANT INFO: Once you have your ticket, your name will be added to the guest list and exact location will be emailed to you (venue is inside along Brighton Seafront).
Yiddish, the 1000-year-old language of the Jews of Eastern Europe, is flourishing, as people young and old, Jewish and non-Jewish, explore its rich cultural heritage. Yiddish songs are hugely varied. Some are spiritual and liturgical. Others come from theatre and cinema, or describe the diverse lives of Jewish people across Eastern and Central Europe and all the countries they have emigrated to – their history, hopes, memories, politics, celebrations and resistance to oppression.

Polina Shepherd is a composer, performer, educator and cultural activist with 30 years of professional experience – originally from Siberia, now living in Brighton. Having been part of the international Yiddish and Klezmer music scene for over 30 years, she works with audiences of different backgrounds and promotes building bridges, understanding and unity through singing.
