125 for 125: Online Yiddish Song Marathon
On Sunday, September 14th, I am honored to be on of the hosts for the 10 hour Workers Circle Yiddish Song Marathon, leading the 11:00am—12:00pm block with the theme "Long Live the Yiddish Chorus”. Join me on the livestream!
From The Workers Circle:
Celebrate 125 years of the Workers Circle / Arbeter Ring / אַרבעטער רינג with 125 songs from the Yosl and Chana Mlotek Yiddish Song Collection, a five-volume masterpiece digitized and available to all on yiddishsongs.org.
Over the course of 10 hours, Yiddish performers and culture-makers from across the globe will share their favorite songs and recollections, including rarely seen historical footage of memorable performances from decades ago.
