Don’t miss our headline concert! Klezmer meets chamber music!The Golden Thread Ensemble presents “Yiddish Songs of Social Change” — featuring Grammy-winning vocalist Lorin Sklamberg of The Klezmatics and acclaimed Latvian singer Sasha Lurje.
Arranged by Craig Judelman, this extraordinary project breathes new life into Yiddish musical traditions.
Through a tapestry of folk ballads, theater tunes, and reimagined classics, the ensemble tells the story of Jewish communities navigating transformation — from labor struggles and women’s rights to questions of faith, assimilation, and belonging. The result: music that is both historically rich and deeply human.
� Featuring world-class European and American musicians, The Golden Thread Septet bridges past and present, tradition and innovation — reminding us how Yiddish song continues to inspire and connect across generations.
