About the event
A very special opportunity to learn from Efim Chorny is a sought-after singer on the international Yiddish music scene, and composer of his own Yiddish songs, which have since been performed by numerous other artists. Together with his congenial piano partner, Susanna Ghergus, they revive a bygone era in Bessarabia, now Moldova, when the Jewish population expressed their worries and hardships of everyday life, as well as their joyful moments, in Yiddish songs and texts. The two artists are winners of the Bubbe Award in Sao Paulo and the Adrienne Cooper Dreaming in Yiddish Award.
