Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Klezmatics or are interested in experiencing klezmer for the first time, Yiddish Songs of Social Change will captivate you with its musical flair in Yiddish and English. Seven world-class European and American musicians create The Golden Thread Ensemble, a group that takes audiences through the compelling role of music in the struggle for justice and equality.
From intimate folk ballads to rousing theatre tunes, each song was chosen to illuminate the complex relationship between community, identity, and social change. Featuring new arrangements by Craig Judelman and vocalists Lorin Sklamberg and Sasha Lurje, this concert will take you on a ride from the past to the present.
