The “Tarbut Sighet, Jewish Culture and Education” Foundation, in partnership with the State Jewish Theatre, invites the public to “Songs of Memory and Hope”, a concert given by the artist Lenka Lichtenberg. The event, built around the theme of love, is part of the celebration of the European Day of Jewish Culture. Hosted by the State Jewish Theatre, this journey offers a cultural itinerary through the world of Jewish music, with songs performed in Hebrew, Yiddish and Ladino.
Lenka Lichtenberg is a Canadian artist born in Prague, a singer, composer, producer and researcher in ethnomusicology. Her work explores Jewish music, and Yiddish music in particular, along with musical traditions from Central Europe and the Middle East, blending elements of folk, jazz and world music. Her album “Thieves of Dreams”, inspired by the poems her grandmother wrote while imprisoned in the Theresienstadt camp, won the 2023 JUNO Award for Global Music Album of the Year, one of the most important distinctions in the Canadian music industry.
