Hi all,
And now for something completely different . . . I wonder whether any of you would be interested in coming along to this workshop that I and a number of friends are attending. It will be different but interesting and fun and the organisers are clear you don’t have to be Jewish or indeed have sung anything in Hebrew or Yiddish before, everything will be transliterated.

Singers invited to sign up to Jewish cultural choral workshop
Singers in Richmond borough are invited to join a special choral workshop, celebrating Jewish musical culture led by world-famous choir director, Polina Shepherd.
“On Sunday 2 February 2020, singers are invited to join Polina Shepherd, one of the world’s most charismatic and inspiring Jewish choir directors. Throughout the day, attendees will learn a wide range of material, ranging from sacred and secular, traditional and modern, in both Hebrew and Yiddish. No knowledge of the languages is necessary.
Polina’s choral workshops showcase her specially developed choral teaching methods, which are based on specific East European sound, ornamentation and modal experimentation with attention to stylistic details, history and context.
Following the workshop, singers will present, that evening, a performance at the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington. The concert will also feature Merlin Shepherd, one of the world’s leading players of traditional East European Klezmer Clarinet.”
To book your place on the workshop and the concert in the evening, contact the Landmark Arts Centre on 020 8911 7558 or email education@landmarkartscentre.org. Tickets cost £20.
