  Internationally acclaimed soprano Juliana Yaffé and her ensemble of musicians launch a unique new program of the most important and popular Yiddish folksongs ever written — performed in the brilliant musical arrangements by eminent conductor-arranger Robert DeCormier. These arrangements were originally crafted for the early LP recordings of Marthe Schlamme and Netania Davrath and have now been given exclusively to Juliana for her performances.


With her new program, Juliana breathes fresh life into these wonderful songs, performing them with a voice that has been described by the press as “rich, sublime, strong, tremendously expressive, and always interpretively fitting.”


In addition, she enhances her performances with engaging stories about each song, bringing music lovers closer to the culture and history of this colorful Yiddish repertoire.
