"Songs Across the Curtain"
Free Concert of Soviet Yiddish Writers in Song
featuring music by Joseph Schrogin
Sun Aug 15, 4 p
| This year's Soviet Yiddish Writers program, conducted in memory of the Yiddish poets, writers and communal leaders liquidated by the Soviet regime on August 12, 1952, will take place at Arbeter Ring on Sun, Aug 15 at 4 p. This unique event focuses on poets Shike Driz and Itsik Fefer, and on musical settings of their work by L.A. composer Joseph Schrogin, whose family will be in attendance. Thanks to the generosity of donors to the Lilke and Szlama Majzner Memorial Fund
for Yiddish Culture, our Mit Gezang Yiddish Chorus will premiere new arrangements of Schrogin's songs. Cosponsors with Arbeter Ring include L.A. Yiddish Culture Club, Yiddishkayt L.A., Secular Jewish Humanists of L.A., Sholem Community, CIYCL and Ameinu. The title refers to the defiance of the Cold War by Schrogin and the L.A. choruses and singers for whom he composed, at a time when works by Soviet Yiddish writers were shunned, despite their innovative modernity.
No reservations required. Admission free (donations accepted).
