As World War II raged through Europe, Soviet Yiddish scholars embarked on an ambitious project to preserve Jewish music of the 1904’s. Professor Anna Shternshis discovered this historic treasure trove in 2010 and worked with Russian musician Psoy Korolenko to bring these songs to both academia and popular audiences.
The result is the Grammy-nominated album, Yiddish Glory. Join SAI as we partner with the JCC for a live virtual performance lecture covering this surprising music and more.
