YSW23 Festival Weekend
Yiddish & Greco-Turkish Culture in Concert and Hands-On Workshops for Everyone
Aug 12 03:00 PM - 11:00 PM @Musikschule & mon ami
Aug 13 10.00 AM - 06:00 PM @Herderplatz, Weimar



This year, we've packed all of the excitement of our usual ""Festival Week"" into a single weekend. Join us on Saturday afternoon for the final concert of the instrumental workshop II and at night for an unforgettable open-air concert on Herderplatz featuring two phenomenal and very different music ensembles, KaraYam and Caravan Orchestra & Choir.

Then come back to Herderplatz on Sunday for a daytime program of informal, free hands-on workshops in Yiddish and Greco-Turkish music and dance, Yiddish language, and even yoga and stretching in Yiddish!

Finally, join us in the Other Music Academy (OMA) on Sunday evening for a get-together around jam sessions, relaxed social spaces, films and surprises.

In case of bad weather, this event will be moved to mon ami, Goetheplatz 11 99423 Weimar. Please refer to this website in case of doubt.
