FROYEN! Women in Yiddish Song

$40 tickets are available for groups of 10 or more. Call the box office at 212 501 3330.

The Yiddish Philharmonic Chorus, led by Binyumen Schaechter, will perform FROYEN! Women in Yiddish Song, featuring female charismatic, clever, controlling, and comforting characters plus female lyricists, poets, composers, and arrangers. We have brand-new choral arrangements and familiar songs you'll hear in a brand-new way. Have fun with a 1970s American feminist favorite (in Yiddish, of course) and hits from the Barry Sisters, Adrienne Cooper, Molly Picon, and Sophie Tucker!  No need to know any Yiddish - our song intros and English supertitles will keep you in the loop.
