Online Concert: Zisl Slepovitch Ensemble & Sasha Lurje perform Songs from Testimonies, Volume Two

Online Performance of Volume 2 of Songs from Testimonies

The Yale Institute for Sacred Music, Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, and the Fortunoff Video Archive invite the public to an online performance of songs from the Archive's forthcoming recording Shray Hertsele Shray: Songs from Testimonies in the Fortunoff Video Archive, Volume Two.

The latest volume contains thirteen songs in three languages drawn from testimonies in the Archive. The second volume in this ongoing ethnomusicological project contains widely diverse compositions in multiple languages drawn from songs sung by survivors in their video testimonies. Collectively, these songs provide a multidimensional image of the lives of Holocaust survivors and the multiple identities they carried as Jews by faith and roots, and as European citizens. The widely diverse compositions presented on the album form a multidimensional image of the lives of Holocaust survivors, the multiple identities they carried as Jews by faith and roots, and as European citizens. Join them to hear this album performed and discussed by the Zisl Slepovitch Ensemble & Sasha Lurje.

This concert is possible thanks to the generous support of The Yale Institute for Sacred Music and the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale.
