In 2009 we welcome back many old friends to deepen our exploration of Moldavian Yiddish and Roma song. The unique Arkady Gendler, from Soroka, Moldova, brings a long and rich lifetime of experience in traditional, popular, and his own original Yiddish songs. The most outstanding European Yiddish singer/songwriter of his generation, Efim Chorny, will join us, as well as the wonderful pianist and coach Susan Gerghus, both from Chisinau.

 

July 25-August 1, 2009

Advanced Yiddish Song Workshop

 

The great singer/violinist/guitarist Tcha Limberger returns to teach Roma song repertoire and style. Singers will be delighted to learn that singer/vocal coach Tom Burke (New York), who astonished us all in Winter Edition, will join us again for this workshop, and we are very pleased that Roswitha Dasch (Wuppertal) and Katharina Müther (Freiburg) will be artists-in-residence. And Alan Bern (Berlin) will do his best to see that these parts somehow all fit together...

 

This workshop is for advanced and professional singers with experience singing in Yiddish and ability to read music and learn by ear, and just as much to advanced instrumentalists who enjoy the great challenges of vocal accompaniment and everything there is to be learned from the voice.

Alan Bern (USA/Germany, accordion/piano)
