Masters of Yiddish and Greco-Turkish Music

Every year, YSW has a special topic. In 2023, we continue our exploration of the connections between Yiddish and Greco-Turkish music that came about during the late Ottoman Empire and continue until today. In this concert, the masterful artists who are leading this week's workshops introduce themselves with their favorite songs and tunes. An opportunity to get to experience each artist individually, and to dive right into the spirit of YSW23.
