To enter the world of Yiddish songs--ironic, poignant, down-to-earth--is
to feel their irresistible spirit. Whether you're new to them or already
hooked, you are sure to leave inspired. Jillian will introduce a dozen new
songs each afternoon, using transliterated songsheets. No previous
familiarity is required. Participants may bring in favorite songs to
share.
For her solo performances and Yiddish sing-alongs all over the Bay Area,
Jillian "Yidl" Tallmer received the Yiddish Music Award of the Workmen's
Circle in 2001. She directs her own women's chorus, the Loose Canons, in
performances of intriguing songs from around the world. Jillian teaches
English as a Second Language at the JCCSF.
