The interplay between Yiddish and Slavic folklore, popular culture, and high literature serves as both the subject and the inspiration for this program, which features original and translated songs familiar to Korolenko’s followers, along with several premieres.
Psoy Korolenko takes part in several international Yiddish-related projects, including the cabaret The Unternationale (with Daniel Kahn), The Brothers Nazaroff (with Daniel Kahn, Bob Cohen, Michael Alpert, and Jake Shulman-Ment), The Stranniki (with Polina Shepherd), and the Grammy-nominated project Yiddish Glory (with historian Anna Shternshis, Professor at the University of Toronto). Along with Vika Feldman, he co-authored the book "Too Much to Tell," a collection of Russian translations of 20th-century Yiddish children’s poetry, published multiple times by PJ Library. In recent years, he has been translating extensively from Yiddish into Russian and writing songs based on the works of Yiddish poets.
