At JCC San Francisco, 3200 California Street, San Francisco, CA, 94118, United States

What happens when a song crosses a border – from one language, culture, or musical tradition into another? Detroit-born, Hamburg-based troubadour and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kahn leads a workshop exploring the art of Yiddish “song smuggling,” with a focus on polyglot performance, traditional subversion, tradaptation (translation + adaptation), multi-musical mixology and other modes of border-crossing in modern Yiddish song work. Bring your voice, your languages and your mind – and come ready to experiment. This workshop is for singers, musicians and the polyglot-curious. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Check out Daniel and Jake’s performance on Thursday, November 5th. Presented in partnership with KlezCalifornia. Questions? Email [email protected]
