with Alan Bern and daily special guests

If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be a professional musician in the Yiddish music world, this is your chance to find out! Each day, YSW Artistic Director, Dr. Alan Bern, interviews the artists who will perform that evening. Since they have all been colleagues for many years, the atmosphere is very relaxed, informal and friendly, and the audience is invited to join the Q&A session, too. A real behind-the-scenes look at how today’s Yiddish music artists think and feel.

Free admission (donations gratefully accepted)
