It's that time again; diasporist Klezmer band Doikayt play in their homeland of London, this time with some celebrated and exquisite guests. It’s also Simchat Torah - a joyous Jewish festival of dancing and merriment. Special guest Rachel Weston will mark this renewal of Jewish ritual and literary time by leyning from the Torah as well as sharing some favourite Yiddish bangers. We will also be joined by the following brilliant musicians:
Alevtina Parland - trumpet & vocals
Flora Curzon - fiddle and brač
Celeste Cantor-Stephens - trumpet
Rachel Weston - vocals

Eight leading artists from the world of Yiddish music come together to give voice to the poetry of Yiddish-speaking women. Commissioned by Yiddish Summer Weimar, this ambitious project sets these remarkable texts to newly created, 21st century Yiddish music that embraces a rich spectrum of sounds, textures, and styles—from lyrical song to techno, from klezmer-inspired traditions to contemporary pop.
In this concert, the words of Yiddish women poets find powerful new expression through the creativity and artistry of a new generation of performers.

Don’t miss this vibrant transcontinental musical encounter, featuring the exceptional talents of Chaia (YL-Yiddishland), Flora Curzon (UK), Ida Gillner (SE), Shura Lipovsky (NL), Anna Lowenstein (UK), Sarah Myerson (US), Polina Shepherd (UK), and Francesca Ter-Berg (UK).

Together they create an evening that is at once deeply rooted in tradition and boldly contemporary—a celebration of Yiddish women’s voices for our time.
