SUMMARY:Online - Powerful Yiddish Song course\, The Workers Circle-5
DESCRIPTION:Online – Powerful Yiddish Song course\, The Workers Circle. \nWednesdays 1:30 – 3 PM New York Time: February 1\, 8\, 15\, 22 and March 1. \nOne 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. \nThis mini-course invites you to explore and learn these songs\, discuss their musical styles and simply enjoy singing them.\nAll singers are welcome\, although you will need to be able to follow written music or be open to learning by ear. \nBook here. \n \nRelated Images:

SUMMARY:Two shows at Folksbiene Yiddish Theatre\, New York.
DESCRIPTION:American Premiere – New Yiddish Theatrical Concert \n\n\n\n\npleytem tsuzamen – Refugees Together \n\n\nMarch 26\, 2023 @ 1PM & 6PM \nBOOK HERE \nREAD MORE \n\npleytem 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.\n\n\nYiddish singers and actors – Daniel Kahn\, Svetlana Kundish\, Sasha Lurje\, Polina Shepherd and Joshua Waletzky.\n\n\nBand – Merlin Shepherd\, Polina Shepherd\, Ilya Shneyveys\, Jake Shulman-Ment \, Beth Silver and Deborah Strauss.\n\nPleytem 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.” \n  \nRelated Images:
