Come sing about beauty in the heart surrounded by the madness of the world, about finding one’s own solid ground to stand on, strength in the voice to carry on singing and the power to move forward – IN YIDDISH!
A workshop led by Polina Skovoroda-Shepherd, one of the leading musicians in Yiddish song and an internationally acclaimed performer, educator and cultural activist. Yiddish songs describe the diverse lives of Jewish people across Eastern and Central Europe. They speak about people’s everyday life, friendship, love, celebrations and solidarity. The afternoon will focus on how international this music is, exploring songs with connections to neighbouring cultures.
No knowledge of Yiddish language or music reading skills are needed! It is open to all.
