Lehrhaus
425 Washington Street
Somerville, MA 02143USA (map)

This class will introduce students to the world of Yiddish folksong through historic and vibrant ethnographic field recordings from Eastern Europe. This class will be immersive in select musical jewels via their texts (Yiddish with English translation), music content, as well as their social context within Ashkenazic life. The class will be inclusive to all backgrounds with no need to read music necessary (but it wouldn’t hurt!). In this class, students will encouraged to embrace their inner musician, become immersed in the power of the music and sing as a group to connect to the songs!
