Songs of the Jewish Ukrainian Heartland / Seattle Yiddish Fest Closing Concert

Michael Alpert, Stuart Brotman, Sasha Lurje and Craig Judelman present: Songs of the Jewish Ukrainian Heartland

As war rages on in one of the cradles of Yiddish culture, we join together to sing the songs and tell the stories of our shared homeland - tales of forbidden loves, boy soldiers, the wonders of nature and looming danger. Ukraine is a heartland of Yiddish music and the source of our most important collections of old-time klezmer tunes and folk songs. In this program four of the world's most in-demand klezmer musicians bring this diverse repertoire to life, painting a picture of Jewish life in Ukraine then and now, raising money and awareness and standing in solidarity with our friends fighting for their freedom.

The closing concert of Seattle Yiddish Fest - a 3 day celebration of Yiddish culture featuring workshops jam sessions, lectures, dances and more - as well as the last stop of a 5 week tour by Alpert, Lurje and Judelman. It is also the Seattle area album-release show for a new record by Alpert and Judelman, titled 'In Der Heym', available now on Borscht Beat records.
