Yiddish Glory – at the NAC (Ottawa)
Thursday, Jan. 25, 8 pm
In a special concert to mark Holocaust Remembrance Week, the Grammy-Nominated ensemble Yiddish Glory makes its National Arts Centre debut with a new concert program of songs written in Ukraine and Moldova that were thought lost to history.
Led by Canadian Historian Anna Shternshis (University of Toronto), Yiddish Glory resurrects songs collected during World War II by ethnomusicologist Moisei Beregovsky from Holocaust victims and survivors. They tell stories of how Soviet Jews lived and died under the German occupation, used music to document Nazi atrocities, fought in the Red Army, worked in the home front in Central Asia, and made sense of it all through Yiddish music.
