ŠTETL FEST: Písně v jidiš

Singing Workshop with Elizabeth Schwartz Singer Elizabeth Schwartz will guide the workshop participants through the world of traditional Yiddish songs and introduce their historical and cultural context. The workshop is open to everyone, regardless of singing experience, professional musicians and those who simply enjoy singing. Participants will learn two traditional Yiddish songs together and try out their specific melody, rhythm and expression. They will also have the opportunity to join the evening concert and sing together with Elizabeth Schwartz and Yale Strom directly on stage. The meeting will thus combine the music workshop with the live experience of communal singing, which is one of the most important parts of the Jewish musical tradition. The workshop will be held in English.
