with Esther Wratschko & Anna Vishnevska

Do you love singing and want to deepen your knowledge of Yiddish song? In this intensive workshop, Yiddish singers Esther Wratschko and Anna Vishnevska invite you to dive deep into the world of Yiddish song – from theater songs to shtetl tunes, from wartime resistance anthems to unaccompanied folk songs to new, modern compositions. We’ll learn how stylistic techniques like krekhtsn and ziftszen can lend expressivity to your singing and internalize the unique style and neshome (soul) of the Yiddish song tradition. No previous knowledge necessary – just curiosity and a love of singing!
