Silent Tears The Last Yiddish Tango (SOLD OUT)
About
World renowned singer Lenka Lichtenberg and her ensemble have toured Canada, the USA, Europe and South America and now bring this brilliant show to Kadimah for one night only.This is a show for all music lovers. While heartbreaking — the music of “Silent Tears” also brings hope and inspiration.
Dan Rosenberg, producer and narrator of Silent Tears says: “We created new music based on the Polish tangos from the 1930s - an Eastern European genre mixed with Jewish and Romani music.” About 3000 tangos were written during the inter-war years in Poland, many of them by Polish Jews.
This wonderful concert blends original Yiddish tango music with poems and stories from women who survived the Holocaust in Poland.
It features songs from the band’s albums Thieves of Dreams + Silent Tears, based on poetry that Lenka’s Lichtenberg’s grandmother wrote while incarcerated at the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp.
The concert is fully accessible to non-Yiddish speakers.
