Eight leading artists from the world of Yiddish music come together to give voice to the poetry of Yiddish-speaking women. Commissioned by Yiddish Summer Weimar, this ambitious project sets these remarkable texts to newly created, 21st century Yiddish music that embraces a rich spectrum of sounds, textures, and styles—from lyrical song to techno, from klezmer-inspired traditions to contemporary pop.
In this concert, the words of Yiddish women poets find powerful new expression through the creativity and artistry of a new generation of performers.
Don’t miss this vibrant transcontinental musical encounter, featuring the exceptional talents of
Chaia (Yiddishland),
Flora Curzon (UK),
Ida Gillner (SE),
Shura Lipovsky (NL),
Anna Lowenstein (UK),
Sarah Myerson (US),
Polina Shepherd (UK), and
Francesca Ter-Berg (UK).
Together they create an evening that is at once deeply rooted in tradition and boldly contemporary—a celebration of Yiddish women’s voices for our time.
