YiddishYOU

*a masterclass for singers or non-singers who want to learn the tricks of Yidishkayt

From the shtetl to Shabes, from Yiddish theater to the recital hall, learn how to change the sound of your voice to engage the audience and suit the needs of the character in your song. Sound different at every performance! Learn tricks and skills to use at specific performances or just for fun. If you have a song to sing, even one you are just learning, we will use it as an example. If not, we will practice these skills in some songs you know and some you don't.

From the Shtetl to La Scala

*lecture on opera singers that became Cantors

Listen to clips of music from Jewish singers that began in the syngagogue and made it into the Opera house, or even became film stars. Hear clips from these singers and speak to why this was so popular during this time.
