Yiddish Trotter
The singer and composer Efim Ciornîi, a well-known figure in klezmer music from the Republic of Moldova, selected for the TES artists (actors and musicians) traditional Yiddish songs from various parts of the world, songs that carry the nostalgia of distinctively Jewish stories. The concert-performance is directed by the actress Natalie Ester, whose staging brings the art of music together with the art of painting, of colour and form, represented by works of the Jewish painter Leonid Afremov.
