Yiddish Music Tribute
Concert At Beth AHM
Yiddish music was once the pulse
of the Jewish people. From life in
Eastern Europe to the immigrant
experience and settlement in the
United States,
Yiddish music
was a common
bond that flowed
through the
Jewish commu-
nity.
A Tribute to
Yiddish Music is
Irina Mishura
an afternoon of
Jewish folk music and a celebration of
Jewish culture. World-renowned per-
former Irina Mishura will headline
this tribute concert. Mishura has per-
formed extensively at the MET and at
opera houses across North America
and Europe. Her performance in
Bizet's Carmen "absolutely floored the
audience" according to critics.
Performing with Mishura will
be Ray Litt and Ben Opengeym.
Narration will be by Ellen Labes with
accompanist Marina Gutmakaher.
This live performance will be at
Congregation Beth Ahm in West
Bloomfield on Sunday, Nov. 16, at
4:30 p.m. The concert is free and is
sponsored by the Walter and Regina
Litt Jewish Music Fund.
