Wed, Aug 5 ‘26 08:00 PM
mon ami

In the past two decades, Yiddish Summer Weimar and Other Music Academy artistic director Alan Bern has created a body of original musical works in Yiddish including a full-length music theater piece (Di megile fun Vaymar), an oratorio based on the memoirs of Glikl of Hameln (Glikl-oratorye), a choral song cycle based on poems for children by Kadya Molodovsky (Shtern faln), and many individual musical settings of poems by eminent Yiddish women poets, including Rokhl Korn, Rivke Basman, Rachel Fishman, Diana Matut, and Chava Rosenfarb, among others. 

Alan writes: “For me, the works of these poets display an honesty, sensuality, compassion, playfulness, and inventiveness that is both deeply moving and directly inspiring to my musical imagination. I’m grateful that Leila, Lisa, Mark, Sasha, Pieter and Xenia have agreed to join me in sharing a selection of my New Yiddish Songs with the Yiddish Summer Weimar community.”

This concert celebrates Alan Bern’s many contributions to the growth of contemporary Yiddish music in Germany, the USA and beyond.
