Faculty Concert I

Tonight’s artists come to us from more than a dozen countries, bringing with them a rich diversity of traditions and perspectives as they guide their students through the fascinating worlds of klezmer music, Yiddish song, Yiddish language, and Jewish thought. Experience these remarkable performers up close in the intimate and historic setting of the Coudray Saal.

Yiddish culture is world culture—and tonight, in Weimar, that world comes alive in sound, song, and story.
