During a time when millions of Jews were facing death, music found a
way into their lives. They wrote poetry and composed music as they
lived, fought, and died in the GHETTOS ACROSS EUROPE. Harriet Bennish
invites you to experience the haunting music of these rarely performed
YIDDISH SONGS, which tell the story of everyday life in the GHETTO.
This event will also feature accompaniment by accordionist Ben Gown,
cellist Diana Parmeter, and Klezmer Juice bandleader and clarinet
player Gustavo Bulgach. Yiddish poetry readings will be performed by
Miri Koral, CEO and Founding Director of the California Institute for
Yiddish Culture and Language; and the Los Angeles Jewish Community
Children's Choir will perform several Yiddish songs under the
leadership of Dr. Michelle Green Willner.
