Description
4 Tickets to Special Yiddish SATB choral concert - English translations provided - entitled "Amerike di prekhtike" (America the Beautiful), featuring the acclaimed 45-voice Jewish People's Philharmonic Chorus http://www.thejppc.org/ conducted by Binyumen Schaechter.
To celebrate 360 years of American Jewish life (1654-2014), this concert features Yiddish choral music in distinctly American musical styles: Blues, jazz, and pop numbers, spirituals, standards, Broadway and Second Avenue theatre hits, labor anthems, and more. In these works you will recognize America's pervasive influence on Jewish culture – and vice versa. Guest soloists: Di Shekhter-tekhter / The Schaechter Sisters, a.k.a. Reyna & Temma Schaechter. (Google "Shekhter-tekhter")
A great concert for those who want to get in touch with their family history, or who want to learn about a whole new culture and genre of music.
