The Golden Thread Septet presents "Yiddish Songs of Social Change," a program that explores the nature and dynamics of social change in the 20th century, featuring new arrangements by Craig Judelman. Covering a wide array of topics including shifting opportunities for women, the struggle for workers’ rights, tensions between religious and secular movements, assimilation and relationship with the outside world, this program gives context and voice to the myriad changes and social struggles faced by Ashkenazi communities of the last century. The ensemble itself reflects this evolving identity as it straddles the line between old time fiddle kapelye and contemporary art ensemble.Featuring an all-star ensemble made up of beloved Yiddish vocalists Lorin Sklamberg and Sasha Lurje, plus five leading string players from the klezmer scene, Craig Judelman Abigale Reisman, Lysander Jaffe, Raffi Boden, and Kirsten Lamb, this project blends techniques and soundscapes from klezmer music, Yiddish theatre, folk song, cantorial repertoire, and classical music in a program that is equal parts story-telling, chamber music and klezmer concert.
