Immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of Jewish music from around the globe at a concert with acclaimed pianist Allegra Chapman and soprano Sara LeMesh. Voices of Identity: Songs of the Jewish Diaspora reflects the myriad countries and cultures in which Jewish communities have lived and made music. From Ukraine to Yemen, Jewish composers have expressed themselves through song in numerous languages, including Ladino, Yiddish, Hebrew, and English. Hear music by composers from across the world and discover the diversity of Jewish song through rarely-performed works by Polish-Soviet composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg, Ukrainian composer Shalom Kharitonov, Yemeni singer Bracha Tzfira, American composer Lori Laitman, and more.
