2021 Yiddish song & nigunim
(See also ‘Culture & Schmoozing’)
Groyser Orkester/Zingeray – tunes, songs & post-KlezNorth montage
Although we cannot be together this year, we will still focus on a couple of songs that will run throughout the weekend. These will be:
- Yikhes (also for the instrumentalists)
- Other tune to be announced
After the weekend, film yourself playing / singing Yikhes for the montage film, and we’ll have a showing of the resulting virtual Groyser Orkester/Zingeray as part of the post-KlezNorth cabaret and schmooze. If you haven’t filmed yourself for a montage before, drop in on Ilana Cravitz during lunchtime on Saturday / Sunday to try it out!
