Description
Join us for the opening of "Yiddish Spring at the Canadian Language Museum" from 7pm-9pm in the gallery with live music, refreshments, and special guests.
Remarks at 7:30pm
Berlin-based composer Paul Brody has created "The Music of Yiddish Curses and Blessings": an exciting sound installation for the CLM based on the voice-melodies of eight Toronto Yiddish speakers. Well-known European and Canadian klezmer musicians are contributing responses to the piece.
On the walls will be the exhibit "Komets-Alef-O! Back to School at the Yiddish Kheyder" (the Yiddish classroom): an introduction to the Yiddish language, created by Toronto Yiddishist Miriam Borden.
"Yiddish Spring" will be on display from April 5th until June 27th - watch for special events during those months!
This event is in collaboration with the Ashkenaz Festival.
