Dear friends!

​

I am glad to share with you a fragment from our "Yiddish Summer Weimar meets Shalom Musik Köln" concert, which took place on September 7th at the Shalom Musik Köln festival.

​

Enjoy!

The busy concert season has paused for late autumn, but behind the scenes, things are moving faster than ever. While the concert calendar might look quiet for the next few weeks, this off-season is anything but a period of rest.

​

Here is what is currently in active development:

​

  • Two brand-new musical projects are being shaped right now. Full details, concepts, and lineups will be revealed on the website very soon.

  • A major concert tour for February and March is in the works. This journey will take me to entirely new countries, and I can already promise that the official announcement is going to be a major milestone that I can't wait to share.

  • The third book of my compositions is waiting for its final touches. I truly hope that this off-season and the work on my other projects will leave me enough time to finally complete this compilation.

 

Thank you for your incredible support throughout the past months. The stage may be quiet for a moment, but the music never stops.

​

Be sure to check back soon: the next chapter is just around the corner!

My concert schedule is gradually filling up, which is good news.

 

On the other hand, this means that if you would like to organize an event with my participation (be it a concert, a klezmer music workshop, a Yiddish dance workshop, or a lecture), then now is the time to hurry up and contact me regarding possible dates!
